GHG Protocol inventory with an audit trail
The global standard for measuring emissions. It covers scopes 1, 2 and 3, with clear rules for recalculating when the base year changes.

The framework
What it is, and why it matters.
The GHG Protocol is the most widely used global standard for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. Published by WRI and WBCSD, it sets the rules for classifying emissions into three scopes. Scope 1: direct emissions from sources the company controls, such as boilers, its own fleet and industrial processes. Scope 2: indirect emissions from purchased electricity and heat. Scope 3: all other indirect emissions in the value chain, from suppliers to the use and disposal of the products sold. In short: Scope 1 is what the company burns, Scope 2 is the energy it buys and Scope 3 is what happens before and after it.
The Corporate Standard sets the accounting principles: relevance, completeness, consistency, transparency and accuracy. The Scope 2 Guidance details the location-based and market-based methods. The Scope 3 Standard covers the 15 categories of indirect emissions.
In Brazil, the GHG Protocol is the basis of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program and will be a mandatory reference for companies above 10,000 tCO₂e/year under the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE).
GHG stands for greenhouse gases (GEE in Portuguese). The GHG Protocol covers the seven Kyoto Protocol gases: carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃). Each gas is converted into tCO₂e, tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, using its global warming potential (GWP). That lets the inventory add everything up in a single unit.
The Brazilian GHG Protocol Program was created in 2008 and is coordinated by FGV's Center for Sustainability Studies (FGVces, formerly GVces). It adapts the method to the Brazilian context, offers a calculation tool with Brazilian emission factors and publishes participating organizations' inventories in the Public Emissions Registry (Registro Público de Emissões), an open database.
Organizations that publish in the Public Emissions Registry receive a seal based on the quality of their inventory. Bronze: partial inventory. Silver: complete inventory. Gold: complete inventory with independent verification by a third-party body. Joining the program is voluntary, but the seal is a simple signal for clients, banks and investors to gauge the maturity of a company's GHG Inventory.
At scale
When the standard updates, the calculation engine is already up to date.
supported frameworks
GHG Protocol, CSRD, IFRS S2, CDP, GRI, SASB, CBAM, SBCE. One single database.
emission factors
IPCC, DEFRA, MCTI, EPA, Ecoinvent. All versioned, with source, year and gas.
scopes covered
Scopes 1, 2, 3 and biogenic. Operational and financial. Everything goes in.
Applicability
Who it applies to.
- Companies regulated by the SBCE (emissions above 10,000 tCO₂e/year).
- Publicly traded companies that report under CVM 193 (IFRS S2) and use the GHG Protocol as their calculation basis.
- Any organization that wants to measure its carbon footprint with an internationally recognized method.
- Companies that report to CDP, SBTi or GRI, since all of them rely on the GHG inventory as their input data.
How we deliver
From source to auditor.
We define organizational and operational boundaries, map emission sources and collect activity data through ERP integration or spreadsheets.
The Mangue platform applies IPCC, DEFRA and MCTI emission factors automatically, with an audit trail for every calculation.
We deliver the full inventory with base year recalculation whenever there are structural changes, ready for third-party verification.
