Gain useful insights into your company's carbon footprint
- The ‘Sustainability’ app in your KBC Business Dashboard helps you calculate your company's CO2 emissions using various parameters:
A/ Consumption of fossil fuels for transportation (journeys, freight transport, etc.)
B/ Production of electricity
C/Emissions from heating
This will give you a realistic picture of the amount of greenhouse gases your company emits each year. It shows where your company's direct and indirect CO2 emissions are coming from and where you can make improvements.
- Using this information, you can then take planned steps towards creating a more sustainable business so as to reduce your emissions. You do this in consultation with your relationship manager and our partners in more sustainable business practices.
Find out how sustainable your business is compared with your industry peers
We compare your company's CO2 emissions with the average across your sector. Your sector is defined by your NACE code as registered in our systems.
We use the most recent sector averages for Belgium as published by the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF).
Your company's emissions are calculated according to the size of your business (per million euros of turnover). This allows you to see how you score compared to the sector average.

All direct CO2 emissions from your sites due to fuels used for heating, machinery, vehicles and so on. We also include the emissions from your company's various modes of transport. In other words, these are all the greenhouse gases coming out of your own chimneys and exhaust pipes.
Our calculation includes all consumption data from your inventory, such as data on your use of diesel, fuel oil, natural gas and biogas. Coolants are not included in our calculation.
We use the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) to calculate your carbon footprint. This reflects the warming potential of greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the best known greenhouse gas. It is the ‘reference gas’ against which we compare the emissions of other greenhouse gases.
Based on the inventory data you provide, we also convert your CO2 emissions into various other units that may be of interest to your company, such as tonnes of CO2 per million euros of turnover, per FTE and per finished product.
Only the Administrator of your KBC Business Dashboard can install this application. If you need any further help, feel free to contact your relationship manager or get in touch with us.
