Who are we?
WHY CHOOSE IFC.D?
Since its establishment in 2011, IFC.D has trained over 20,000 professionals, helping organisations develop the skills needed to measure carbon emissions and drive their low-carbon transition.
01
Why explore another carbon accounting methodology?
Even if your organisation already uses the GHG Protocol, discovering another methodology can bring new perspectives and practical tools to strengthen your carbon management strategy.
Developed in France in 2004 by ADEME, Bilan Carbone® is a well-established methodology with over 20 years of experience. It provides a comprehensive approach to measuring greenhouse gas emissions, identifying significant emission sources and developing effective reduction strategies.
While the GHG Protocol provides internationally recognised standards for carbon accounting and reporting, Bilan Carbone® goes beyond measurement by integrating stakeholder engagement, practical calculation tools with emission factors, and structured transition planning.
Go beyond measuring emissions. Discover a methodology that helps your organisation turn carbon accounting into concrete climate action.
02
Why use the Bilan Carbone® method?
The Bilan Carbone® method, developed in France and refined over 20 years, remains one of the most comprehensive carbon accounting frameworks available.
Where the GHG Protocol excels as an international accounting standard, the Bilan Carbone® goes further: it covers Scope 3 exhaustively (including depreciated assets over their full lifetime), integrates a built-in transition plan, and structures uncertainty analysis post by post so you know exactly where to focus data-collection efforts.
The two approaches are complementary.
03

I am glad I chose the in-person option. The trainer was very good. The atmosphere with the other participants was very friendly and supportive. The combination of e-learning and classroom training works very well. I also really enjoyed the optional climate module. It is very well designed and was fascinating.
I really appreciated our trainer's calm and professional approach. He is reassuring yet demanding, and makes you want to continue exploring the method in greater depth. Thank you!
