Inventory reduction
A measured reduction inside the company’s Scope 1, 2, or 3 boundary under the applicable inventory rules.
Corporate climate action through mobility
Fund Better Mobility.
Understand the Climate Impact.
Model how a corporate budget may support shared light-electric mobility, or estimate issued-credit purchasing capacity using a supplier quote. Each path has a different result and claim boundary.
One guided decision tool
Choose one objective. Build one scenario. Read one result.
Project funding estimates activity and avoided operational emissions. Credit purchasing estimates how many already-issued units a quoted budget may afford.
The results are intentionally separate: avoided project emissions are not carbon credits and cannot be deducted from a corporate inventory.

What would you like to understand?
Choose one path. You can switch later without losing your budget.
Three simple steps
Select an objective above. The calculator will then ask only for the information needed for that path.
How to interpret the result
Four outcomes require four different statements.
Clear wording protects the company, project, and community. The applicable GHG Protocol, reporting framework, claims code, and carbon standard determine what may be reported.
Avoided project emissions
A comparison with a defined baseline, disclosed separately from the company’s inventory.
Climate contribution
Finance provided beyond the value chain without claiming the company’s own emissions were cancelled.
Verified carbon credit
A serialized unit issued under an eligible program after independent validation, monitoring, and verification.
Methodology and evidence
Move from an illustrative result to a defensible project record.
The calculator is a screening tool. Credible reporting requires a location-specific baseline, measured activity, disclosed uncertainty, clear ownership, and independent specialists where applicable.
- 01
Footprint context
Define inventory, targets, geography, budget, claims, and reporting requirements.
- 02
Baseline
Document current modes, activity, emissions factors, boundaries, and counterfactual.
- 03
Project design
Configure users, service area, fleet, charging, operations, economics, accessibility, and safety.
- 04
Finance and governance
Set roles, funding, outcome ownership, risk allocation, data rights, and claims controls.
- 05
Delivery and monitoring
Measure trips, distance, mode shift, energy, maintenance, downtime, and users.
- 06
Reporting and assurance
Report assumptions, uncertainty, limitations, and assurance or verification status.
Evidence the project should retain
Deployment alone does not prove impact. Monitoring must connect real activity with a defensible baseline.
Without the project
Existing modes, occupancy, trip purpose, comparable routes, market penetration, and alternatives.
Service delivered
Trips, passenger-kilometres, utilization, availability, charging, rebalancing, and maintenance.
Travel replaced
Modal-shift surveys, user cohorts, trip purpose, induced travel, leakage, and rebound effects.
Claim ownership
Boundaries, data lineage, conservative calculations, ownership, assurance, and double counting.
Default factor notes. The passenger-car preset uses the US EPA’s published average converted to 0.253 kg CO₂e/km. The local-bus preset uses the UK Government average of 0.10151 kg CO₂e per passenger-km. Replace defaults with relevant local data.
Credit pathway. Funding does not automatically create or transfer a credit. Eligibility, additionality, quantification, validation, verification, issuance, ownership, serial numbers, and retirement depend on the selected independent program.
Questions, answered
Climate claims need precise answers.
These guardrails apply before any company describes the project in sustainability or financial reporting.
Not automatically. GHG Protocol guidance requires avoided emissions to be reported separately from Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventories. A company may describe a climate contribution or separately reported project impact with clear boundaries and evidence.
