Measure your footprint with Carbonmap!

Carbonmap is a platform that calculates carbon emissions resulting from your energy consumption by utilizing your invoices. It helps you monitor your carbon footprint and contributes to achieving your sustainability goals. The platform is simple and user-friendly, enabling you to enter your energy consumption data and receive instant results.

Follow these steps to use the Carbonmap emissions calculation tool:

• Create an Account and Log In: Become a Şekerbank customer, or if you are already a customer, log in to the platform using Şekerbank Internet Banking credentials. Add the branches, offices, or locations you wish to monitor through the “Add Location” option.
• Data Entry: Enter the energy consumption details from your invoices into the system using the “Add Invoice” button.
• Calculation: After entering your data, click the “Add Invoice” button to calculate your emissions.
• View Results: Analyze your carbon emissions and other insights in detail on an interactive and visual dashboard.

The Carbonmap emissions calculation tool is not a direct product or service that immediately impacts nature. However, due to its potential contribution to reducing carbon emissions, it can be considered an indirect tool for fostering a greener future. Reducing the carbon output generated by every type of energy source used in production processes is a primary step in addressing numerous nature-based issues, particularly climate-related challenges. Therefore, the first step in reducing carbon emissions in any production process is calculating the emissions associated with those processes. Carbonmap provides the appropriate calculation infrastructure using coefficients offered by international standards, enabling users to measure their values. These calculations can also be reported based on location, consumption types, and specific time periods. In this way, users who aspire to manage and reduce their carbon emissions can initiate processes that positively impact nature by making adjustments or taking preventive measures based on the values they calculate.

The Carbonmap emissions calculation platform, developed by Şekerbank, calculates the carbon emissions generated by your organization’s activities—both direct and indirect—based on international methodologies. It utilizes emission factors from IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Protocol), and DEFRA (UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) to perform calculations based on consumption data. 

The Carbonmap emissions calculation tool is developed in accordance with internationally recognized emission classification systems. The relevant calculations are performed in alignment with the GHG Protocol, defining emissions as follows:

• Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): Emissions from sources directly controlled by the organization, such as fuel consumption at facilities or from vehicle fleets.
• Scope 2 (Indirect Energy Emissions): Indirect emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, or steam.
• Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions): Emissions related to the organization’s activities in the supply chain, transportation, employee commuting, waste management, etc.

The tool calculates Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and also addresses specific Scope 3 emission categories within the framework.

Total Carbon Emissions

The platform’s main dashboard allows you to view the total carbon emissions resulting from your energy consumption on a monthly, annual, and overall basis. This helps you easily track the environmental impact of your energy use.

Comparative Analysis

The platform offers comparative analyses with previous periods. This allows you to see how your energy consumption and carbon emissions have changed over time. You can identify trends and adjust your energy efficiency strategies accordingly.

Detailed Graphs and Visualizations

The platform provides detailed graphs and visual representations of your energy consumption and carbon emissions. These visual tools make it easier to understand your data and help you achieve your sustainability goals.

Consider the following suggestions to reduce your emissions:

• Energy Efficiency: Implement measures that will reduce your energy consumption.
• Renewable Energy: Transition to renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power.
• Behavioral Changes: Modify your daily habits to save energy and reduce consumption.
• Technology Upgrades: Invest in more efficient devices and systems.

This platform is available for all corporate organizations and institutions with energy consumption, as well as individual Şekerbank customers seeking to monitor and mitigate their emissions.

The use of Carbonmap is offered free of charge.

Emission classifications are divided into Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Scope 1, also known as direct emissions, refers to emissions from sources owned or controlled by a company. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions resulting from purchased energy. Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions that occur within the company’s value chain but are not included in Scope 2.Through the platform developed by Şekerbank, a company’s greenhouse gas emissions are calculated for Scope 1, Scope 2, and partial Scope 3, and detailed reports on these can be accessed within the application.
