Verification and validation of a Bilan Carbone®
In a low carbon world, the Bilan Carbone® approach plays a crucial role in supporting any type of stakeholder, from the least mature to the most experienced, in their quantification of environmental impact of an activity, as well as to identify effective measures to reduce its effects.
The Bilan Carbone® is a continuous improvement approach in terms of Greenhouse gases (GHGs), both to reduce emissions, but also to assess its vulnerability and identify the Transition risks and opportunities for its activity.
The term “Bilan Carbone®”, in addition to the method, also refers to the tools distributed by theAssociation for Low Carbon Transition, which make it possible to carry out the necessary calculations. The result of the assessment applied to an activity or a territory is called “Bilan Carbone®”, as is the greenhouse gas emissions diagnosis established through the use of this method.
A training is required in order to be able to apply the Bilan Carbone® method and use its tools.
One of the fundamental aspects of this method is the transparency throughout the entire calculation process, from choosing the Boundaries to the means of Communication with Stakeholders.
Assessing a Bilan Carbone® thus guarantees the reliability of the results. It also makes it possible toidentify bottlenecks and areas for improvement between two assessments of an organisation.
This guide provides guidelines for assessing a Bilan Carbone® and produce a report understandable by the various stakeholders involved in preparing a Bilan Carbone® (more information on the carbon Accounting ecosystem on the site de l'Association for Low Carbon Transition (ABC)).
This guide is compatible with the Bilan Carbone® method in its most recent version (more information in the hypertext link).
To have one’s balance sheet assessed, it is necessary to sign a tripartite contract with a certified assessor and the Association for Low Carbon Transition (ABC), which sets the scope of the assignment as well as confidentiality commitments. &#xNAN;For more information on this topic, you can contact the Association for Low Carbon Transition (ABC) via its contact form.
