Report Your Carbon Footprint

Carbon Credits

You are here:

Carbon Credits

Track the carbon credits that you purchase in Net Zero Cloud and allocate them to offset unavoidable emissions you can’t reduce elsewhere.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience

Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

In Net Zero Cloud, you can:

Measure the emissions produced by your organization, calculate your carbon footprint, and know your climate impact contribution.
Review your annual emissions inventory and take actions to reduce the total carbon footprint for your organization.
Estimate the carbon credits required to further offset your unavoidable emissions.
Allocate carbon credits purchased from carbon credit projects towards emissions activities in your inventory.

What are Carbon Credits
Carbon credits are transferable instruments that represent reduction in CO2 or other greenhouse gasses (GHGs) emissions. One unit of carbon credit represents emissions reduction of one metric tonne of CO2, or an equivalent amount of CO2 and other GHGs (tCO2e).
How to Allocate Carbon Credits
Allocate your purchased carbon credits against a specific emissions activities level.
Manage Carbon Credits
Manage your carbon credits by creating a carbon credit project and creating a sustainability credit record.
Allocate Carbon Credits
Create a record for how the carbon credits, or sustainability credits, are allocated by your organization to offset your emissions.
Example: Allocating Carbon Credits
Let’s see how to allocate carbon credits to offset unavoidable emissions.
