Carbon Accounting for Business Travel
With Bezala you can do carbon accounting for travel-related expenses directly within the travel expense program.
Bezala will provide more accurate emission calculations than typical methods based solely on monetary values. This is achieved by using the best practices for each expense type, such as those defined by Defra or monetary emission factors.

New directives increasingly require companies to report on sustainability. Calculating the carbon footprint, or emissions, is an essential part of sustainability reporting.
Emission calculation is divided into three categories:
- Direct emissions from own operations (Scope 1)
- Indirect emissions related to purchased energy (Scope 2)
- Emissions from the procurement of goods and services and travel, among others (Scope 3)
Traditionally, the majority of emissions fall under Scope 3, which includes business travel.
Improve Accuracy by Answering to Additional Questions
We collect the information necessary for emissions calculation through additional questions asked to employees.
The company can decide whether to make these additional questions mandatory. If the additional questions are not answered, the emissions will be calculated based on the monetary amount.
Select a Fuel Type for Mileage
In Bezala, you can select the fuel type when claiming mileage reimbursement and we calculate the emissions based on that and trip length.
You can request to enable different fuel types for the mileage reimbursement form from our customer support at support@bezala.com
