CO2 Performance Scale / Carbon Footprint
Accurately assess your carbon footprint and implement a structured CO2 management system to reduce your emissions and strengthen your position in public procurement.
A carbon assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions generated by an activity. It helps identify the main reduction levers and communicate one's environmental commitment.
Conducting a carbon assessment helps prioritize actions, measure progress, and communicate your company's environmental commitment to your clients, partners, employees, and authorities.
The three emission scopes of your carbon footprint
01
Scope 1: Direct Emissions
Direct greenhouse gas emissions from the company's own activities, such as fuel combustion for a vehicle fleet or industrial processes.
02
Scope 2: Energy indirect emissions
Indirect emissions related to the company's energy consumption: heating, electricity, and other purchased energy sources.
03
Scope 3: Other indirect emissions
Other indirect emissions such as business travel, waste management, or supply chain-related emissions.

ABV approach for implementing the CO2 management system
ABV Development's teams support you in defining an emissions management policy, setting measurable objectives, implementing tailored reduction actions, and ensuring continuous monitoring and improvement using relevant indicators.
The CO2 Performance Ladder®: a lever for your public contracts
Beyond establishing a carbon footprint, a CO2 management system enables regular monitoring of emissions and commits the company to a continuous improvement process. The CO2 Performance Ladder®, initially developed in the Netherlands by SKAO and introduced in Belgium, is a certification covering various emission scopes.
Certified companies can gain an advantage when bids are evaluated for public contracts, particularly through a price bonus. This tool helps understand energy flows and carbon footprint, define reduction targets, improve communication on CO2 policy, and support reduction initiatives at the sectoral level or within the value chain.
