For smaller businesses in particular, the company calculator offers a low-threshold opportunity to determine the direct and indirect emissions generated by their business activities. myclimate strives to map company greenhouse gas emissions as fully as possible. In addition to energy consumption pertaining to buildings, commuting and business travel, as well as purchased consumable material, the current version of the calculator offers you the option of recording meals and waste volumes for your company.
One key way in which the calculator has been updated is that factors such as public transport usage and the energy mix used for district heating can be recorded more accurately by taking country-specific differences into account.
