Carbon accounting and Green House Gas Accounting (GHG): the implementation of green accounting and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Indonesia

Abstract

Carbon Accounting is the systematic measurement of carbon emissions, subsequently followed by the establishment of a strategy to decrease the emissions. The costs associated with this reduction effort are subsequently measured and reported to the stakeholders of the company. Carbon accounting implementation offers significant advantages for countries, including Indonesia, permitting the government to quantitatively assess and track annual fluctuations in greenhouse gas emissions within the national atmosphere. Companies can incorporate carbon calculations into the framework of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, which can yield a favorable outcome for the company. Furthermore, the advantages for society at large encompass the mitigation of air pollution and the generation of innovative employment prospects for local communities.
