Corporate Carbon Footprint (CFO) Services
An organization’s carbon footprint is the starting point for understanding and managing corporate emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), but above all for addressing increasingly concrete requirements related to governance and the market.
This type of analysis is particularly relevant when:
- You must comply with reporting requirements, such as the CSRD or sustainability report
- Do you want to improve or complete an ESG rating, such as EcoVadis or CDP
- You receive inquiries from investors, banks, or private equity funds, including in the context of the SFDR
- You need a solid foundation to define a decarbonization strategy or embark on a SBTi pathway
- Are you considering obtaining the ISO 14064 certification
Product Carbon Footprint (CFP) Calculation Service
A product’s carbon footprint makes it possible to quantify the emissions associated with a product throughout its life cycle, and there is growing demand for this information in market and supply chain contexts.
This type of analysis is useful when:
- A client requests data on product emissions
- Do you want to compare alternative solutions or improve environmental performance during the design phase?
- You must support environmental communication activities or product positioning
- Are you considering a course of ISO 14067 certification
Carbon Footprint Measurement: What Are the Benefits?
The calculation of the Carbon Footprint not only Measures your company’s environmental impact in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions), but it also allows you to identify opportunities for improvement. Relying on our consultants to calculate your organization’s or product’s carbon footprint can lead to both short- and long-term benefits , making your company more sustainable and competitive.
Let’s take a look ata few of them:
Identify the main sources of emissions
Calculating the carbon footprint helps identify where emissions are concentrated throughout business processes or the product life cycle. This makes it possible to pinpoint the most critical areas and take targeted action.
Respond to requests from clients, investors, and regulatory authorities
There is an increasing demand for emissions data, both at the company and product levels. The carbon footprint helps address requirements related to the supply chain, ESG ratings, CSRD reporting obligations, and investor requests.
Support technical and strategic decisions
Having structured data on emissions makes it possible to compare alternatives, improve products and processes, and make more informed business decisions.
Laying the Groundwork for Decarbonization
The carbon footprint serves as the starting point for defining emission reduction strategies, climate goals, and pathways such as the SBTi or decarbonization plans.
What standards does the CArbon Footprint?
Our CO2 emissions consultants rely on leading international standards. Specifically, when measuringan organization’s carbon footprint, we use either the GHG Protocol or the ISO 14064-1 standard, depending on the context. On the other hand, when calculating a product’s carbon footprint, we use the ISO 14067, which adopts the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)—that is, an analysis of the life cycle of a specific product, from the extraction of raw materials through to final disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How transparent is Ollum regarding its methods for calculating carbon footprints in accordance with the GHG Protocol and ISO standards?
Ollum is transparent about its methodological choices and carefully explains them to the client. The reference standards are the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and ISO 14067, applied according to the specific needs of the project. The GHG Protocol is primarily used when a company intends to obtain validation of SBTi targets or complete a CDP questionnaire, although the choice depends on the context; ISO 14064 is applied when verification by a third-party organization is required; ISO 14067 is the reference standard for calculating a product’s carbon footprint.
Does Ollum offer integrated carbon footprint packages, a reduction plan, and support for green communication?
Ollum offers an integrated approach that begins with calculating a company’s carbon footprint, continues with the development of an emissions reduction plan, and includes guidance on how to properly communicate the results. Environmental reporting is supported by data measured using internationally recognized methodologies—the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, ISO 14067, and LCA methodology —which provide the scientific foundation necessary for any credible claim.
Can Ollum help an Italian ICT company calculate its digital emissions (data centers, cloud, etc.)?
Ollum operates in the ICT sector and has experience with data centers. This is an increasingly complex regulatory environment: MASE guidelines require data centers to undergoLCA analysis and climate audit; the new EED directive introduces specific requirements for data centers regarding energy efficiency and consumption monitoring. Ollum helps companies comply with these requirements by integrating, where appropriate, energy audits with carbon footprint calculations to develop a concrete and documented emissions reduction plan. It also provides support for LEED and BREEAM certification processes through schemes specifically designed for data centers.
Does Ollum offer support in calculating the carbon footprint of construction sites and infrastructure projects?
Yes. Ollum helps companies calculate the carbon footprint of construction sites, buildings, and infrastructure projects.
The service incorporates expertise in LCA analysis, knowledge of the Green Public Procurement standards for Edilizia and Strade, analysis of construction materials, and evaluation of construction site processes.
For construction sites, Ollum helps estimate emissions related to materials, transportation, energy consumption, construction processes, and waste management, including in relation to the environmental requirements set forth by Green Public Procurement.
For infrastructure projects, Ollum conducts LCA studies and carbon footprint calculations in accordance with the UNI EN 17472 standard, which addresses the assessment of the sustainability of civil engineering projects. These analyses can also support the project’s sustainability report, where LCA estimates and carbon footprint assessments are required as early as the design phases.
The support may also include LCA-LCC analyses for Green Public Procurement award criteria and technical documentation relevant to rating protocols such as Envision, applicable to transportation, energy, water management, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Can Ollum calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon footprints in accordance with the GHG Protocol?
Calculating a carbon footprint according to the GHG Protocol requires methodological expertise, access to up-to-date emission factors, and the ability to collect data throughout the entire value chain—including Scope 3, which is often the most complex.
How Ollum Calculates Its Carbon Footprint According to the GHG Protocol
- Comprehensive mapping of Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (purchased energy), and Scope 3 (value chain) emissions
- Selection and application of the most up-to-date emission factors appropriate to the context
- Structured data collection, with support for internal teams on the most complex Scope 3 categories (purchasing, transportation, product use, end-of-life)
- Final report with details by category and source, complete methodological documentation
How does Ollum handle cases where negative results emerge (e.g., a high carbon footprint): does it push for transparency or recommend downplaying the issue?
Ollum consistently advocates a transparent approach to managing environmental performance, even when issues such as a high carbon footprint arise.
Downplaying or hiding negative information is not a solution. It exposes the company to the risk of greenwashing, undermines the report’s credibility, and can create problems during verification, communication, or discussions with external stakeholders.
When significant impacts are identified, Ollum helps the company:
- present the data in a clear and contextualized manner;
- identify the main causes of the carbon footprint;
- define concrete measures to reduce […];
- develop a credible improvement plan;
- communicate the results without making misleading statements.
A negative result should not be sugarcoated. It should be explained, properly assessed, and turned into a starting point for reducing its impacts over time.
