Plan Be Eco carbon footprint report for 2025
Rising awareness of sustainable development and social responsibility is making ESG reporting increasingly demanding and comprehensive. Climate data related to greenhouse gas emissions are no longer an add-on to reports—they are becoming just as important as financial data, fully integrated with social aspects and corporate governance.
Meeting non-financial reporting obligations is no longer a competitive advantage, but a standard expected by investors and international business partners alike. Companies that systematically disclose their CO₂ emissions and implement sustainability measures are perceived as more credible and stable. As a result, carbon footprint data increasingly influences decisions made by financial institutions, including financing costs and access to credit.
In practice, carbon footprint reporting is therefore not only a matter of transparency, but also a key tool for financial risk management and long-term business resilience.
We calculate emissions for others – so we start with ourselves
At Plan Be Eco, we operate in the field of sustainable development based on recognized methodologies, in line with the GHG Protocol. We focus on ensuring that greenhouse gas emissions data is complete, comparable, and usable in decision-making processes, ESG reporting, and corporate sustainability disclosures, including non-financial reporting in accordance with the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive).
Experience gained from calculating our own carbon footprint is an integral part of our approach. It allows us to better understand challenges related to:
data availability and quality,
carbon footprint calculation,
interpretation of results,
year-on-year communication of changes in the context of organizational growth.
Thanks to this, the support we provide to Plan Be Eco clients is based not only on methodological expertise, but also on hands-on experience in carbon footprint reporting, emissions management, and ESG data disclosure.
The Plan Be Eco 2025 report aims to support strategic emissions management and to build trust among clients and investors.
Analysis of Plan Be Eco’s carbon footprint
On a daily basis, we help companies calculate their organizational carbon footprint and product carbon footprint, report on ESG, and design realistic strategies for emissions reduction, energy efficiency improvement, and decarbonization.
We support companies and financial institutions in:
meeting regulatory requirements (CSRD),
ESG and non-financial reporting,
calculating emissions across the entire supply chain,
engaging suppliers and collecting data,
building climate and investment strategies.
That is why one thing is obvious to us: if we advise others, we must lead by example.
We regularly calculate the carbon footprint of our own operations and publish the results. We treat this as an element of:
transparency,
environmental responsibility,
corporate governance,
ESG credibility.
Companies that regularly report their CO₂ emissions achieve, on average, a 67% higher return on investment than companies that do not report systematically. Climate data is increasingly used to support strategic and investment decisions, rather than serving solely as a reporting obligation.
What is a company’s carbon footprint?
An organizational carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), generated by a company’s activities—covering energy consumption, fuel use, raw materials, and operations across the entire life cycle of the business.
According to the GHG Protocol, emissions are divided into three scopes:
Scope 1 – Direct emissions
These include emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company, such as fuel combustion in buildings or company vehicle fleets. This is often the most intuitive, though not necessarily the largest, component of a carbon footprint.
Scope 2 – Indirect energy emissions
This scope covers emissions resulting from the purchase of electricity, heat, and cooling. Although indirect, decisions related to the energy mix have a real impact on their level.
Scope 3 – Indirect emissions in the value chain
Managing and reporting Scope 3 emissions is more complex than Scopes 1 and 2, as it includes indirect emissions across the entire supply chain and often depends on data from suppliers and business partners. At the same time, it is the area with the greatest reduction potential. Scope 3 includes 16 categories, such as:
purchased goods and services,
transport and business travel,
use of sold products,
employee remote work,
supplier and contractor activities.
We calculate our clients’ emissions in exactly the same way—and we apply the same standards to our own data. CSRD-compliant reporting covers greenhouse gas emissions at all stages of a product’s life cycle—from raw material extraction, through production and transport, to use and end-of-life. This requires companies to go beyond their own operations and account for the entire value chain.
What is the total carbon footprint of Plan Be Eco?
In the analyzed year, the total carbon footprint of Plan Be Eco amounted to 10 Mg CO₂e.
Emissions structure by scope:
Scope 1: 0 Mg CO₂e
Scope 2: 0 Mg CO₂e
Scope 3: 10 Mg CO₂e
Total: 10 Mg CO₂e
What does this mean?
We do not generate direct emissions or emissions related to electricity consumption. Our entire climate impact comes from indirect emissions, which today represent the greatest reporting challenge for most companies.
What are Plan Be Eco’s emissions per employee?
In 2025, our team consisted of 9 employees, which translates into:
👉 1.08 Mg CO₂e per employee per year
This indicator makes it possible to:
compare results year over year,
assess the efficiency of business growth,
separate organizational development from uncontrolled increases in per-capita emissions.
Data quality as the foundation of credible reporting
The reliability of a carbon footprint report depends primarily on accurate data collection and proper data verification. Without high-quality data, even the most robust methodology cannot deliver credible and trustworthy results.
Scope 3 – emissions structure
The main sources of emissions in our operations are:
Purchased goods and services
– including services – approx. 3 Mg CO₂eBusiness travel and transport – approx. 4 Mg CO₂e
Upstream leased assets (vehicles) – approx. 1 Mg CO₂e
Use of sold products – approx. 1 Mg CO₂e
Remote work – less than 1 Mg CO₂e
Does company growth affect emissions? Full transparency
In 2024, our carbon footprint amounted to approximately 3 Mg CO₂e. This was a period of smaller operational scale, a smaller team, and fewer business trips.
In the following year, 2025:
we expanded the company,
hired new employees,
increased the number of projects and client meetings,
strengthened our expert position and were invited to more events and conferences.
As a result, our carbon footprint increased to 10 Mg CO₂e.
This increase in emissions does not stem from a lack of climate action, but from the growth of the scale of our operations—something the data clearly shows.

An organization’s carbon footprint is one of the few fully measurable indicators of a company’s real impact on climate change. At Plan Be Eco, we prioritize full transparency, which is why we are pleased to share precise data regarding our own operations.
From our perspective, it is crucial to look not only at total emissions, but also at intensity indicators – such as carbon footprint per employee or carbon footprint per PLN of revenue. These metrics make it possible to better understand a company’s carbon efficiency and show that, as a business grows, organizations that optimize their processes – rather than simply scale up—are the ones that are rewarded.
Equally important, calculating emissions itself, when supported by the right software and a well-structured process, is today far simpler than it might seem.

How does conscious action instead of greenwashing benefit a company?
In ESG reporting, what truly matters is real environmental impact management—not declarations or one-off reports. That is why at Plan Be Eco we treat the carbon footprint as a process, not a static result.
We carry out reliable and repeatable calculations of greenhouse gas emissions, analyze indicators over time, and identify the sources of change. This allows us to understand not only the level of emissions, but also the reasons behind them.
We treat the carbon footprint as a decision-making tool that supports business growth management, planning of reduction actions, and assessment of the effectiveness of decisions taken. This approach helps avoid simplifications and greenwashing, while building credible, data-driven foundations for long-term ESG activities.
Why is it worth leading by example and being a sustainable company?
At Plan Be Eco, we believe that ESG credibility starts with a company’s own data. That is why we:
calculate our organizational carbon footprint in line with the GHG Protocol,
carry out regular and comparable greenhouse gas emissions calculations across Scopes 1, 2, and 3,
disclose results in a transparent and understandable way, without selective reporting,
analyze the structure of emissions and their changes over time, taking company growth into account,
treat the carbon footprint as a management tool rather than a one-off reporting obligation,
use this foundation to support clients in emissions reduction, ESG reporting, and non-financial reporting.
Summary
The Plan Be Eco carbon footprint report shows that any company—regardless of size or stage of development—can operate in a structured and climate-responsible way. Reliable carbon footprint calculation, based on the GHG Protocol, makes it possible to understand the real scale of greenhouse gas emissions, their structure across the entire value chain, and the impact of organizational growth on the environment and global warming.
Transparent carbon footprint reporting and ESG reporting, aligned with CSRD requirements and the principles of non-financial reporting, form the foundation of effective emissions management, reduction planning, and energy efficiency improvement. We start with ourselves, because only then can carbon footprint calculation, reporting, and management genuinely support business decisions, build competitive advantage, and guide organizations toward long-term climate neutrality.
