Verification and validation of a Bilan Carbone®

In a low-carbon world, the Bilan Carbone® approach plays a crucial role in supporting all types of actors, from the least mature to the most experienced, in their quantification of environmental impact of an activity, as well as for finding effective measures to reduce its effects.

The Bilan Carbone® is a progress approach regarding greenhouse gases (GHGs), both to reduce emissions, but also to assess its vulnerability and identify transition risks and opportunities for its activity.

The term “Bilan Carbone®”, in addition to the method, also refers to the tools disseminated by theAssociation for Low Carbon Transition (ABC)which make it possible to perform the necessary calculations. The result of the assessment applied to an activity or a territory is called “Bilan Carbone®”, as is the diagnosis of greenhouse gas emissions established through the use of this method.

A training course is required to be able to apply the Bilan Carbone® method and use its tools.

One of the fundamental aspects of this method is transparency throughout the entire calculation process, from the choice of boundaries to the means of communication to stakeholders.

The evaluation of a Bilan Carbone® thus guarantees the reliability of the results. It also makes it possible toidentify blocking and improvement points between two assessments of an organization.

This guide provides the guidelines to evaluate a Bilan Carbone® and produce a report understandable by the various actors who have a role in establishing a Bilan Carbone® (more information on the carbon accounting ecosystem on the ABC website).

This guide is compatible with the Bilan Carbone® method in its most recent version (more information in the hyperlink).

To have your assessment evaluated, it is necessary to sign a tripartite contract with a certified evaluator and the ABC, which establishes the framework of the assignment as well as the confidentiality commitments. For more information on this subject you can contact the ABC via its contact form.
