Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a carbon assessment mission last?+
Between 6 and 12 weeks depending on the size of the organisation, the availability of data, and the scope of Scope 3 selected.
Does the CSRD apply to my company in Morocco?+
If you are a subsidiary of a European group subject to it or a significant exporter to the EU, yes. We conduct a free pre-diagnostic of applicability.
What is a carbon assessment for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, and what does it measure precisely?+
The carbon assessment quantifies all greenhouse gas emissions of an organisation, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e), according to the GHG Protocol methodology. Scope 1 covers direct emissions (combustion, fleet, processes), Scope 2 covers emissions related to purchased energy (electricity, steam), and Scope 3 covers indirect emissions from the value chain (purchases, transport, waste, travel, product use). Measuring all three scopes provides a comprehensive view of your footprint and highlights priority reduction levers.
Which companies in Morocco and Africa are targeted by a carbon assessment?+
It concerns manufacturers and exporters, suppliers to large groups that now require the carbon footprint of their purchases, and SMEs wishing to establish a credible CSR approach. Companies responding to tenders that include environmental criteria, such as those exporting to the European Union, find a direct lever for differentiation. TargetUp operates across Morocco and French-speaking Africa, with multi-sector expertise.
How does a carbon assessment mission at TargetUp proceed and what deliverables do you receive?+
The mission follows the GHG Protocol methodology, aligned with ISO 14064: defining the organisational and operational scope, collecting activity data, applying recognised emission factors, and then calculating emissions by scope. You receive a detailed GHG report, an emissions dashboard, and a prioritised and quantified reduction plan. This approach makes your results traceable and defensible in the face of an audit or client scrutiny.
Why carry out a carbon assessment now when exporting to the European Union?+
Since 2026, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires European importers to declare and pay for emissions embedded in products such as steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen. Without reliable carbon data, a Moroccan exporter risks facing penalising default values and a loss of competitiveness. Anticipating your carbon assessment protects access to the European market and reassures major clients.
What differentiates TargetUp's carbon assessment support?+
TargetUp is a triple-certified firm (ISO 9001, ISO 21001, and ISO 37301), ensuring proven methodological rigor. Our missions are based on the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, with contractualised results and data designed to withstand third-party verification. You receive an operational and actionable carbon assessment for your decisions and reporting, not just a theoretical report.
We do not yet have structured data on our emissions: is this a barrier?+
No. Data structuring is an integral part of the mission: we build the collection framework with you, identify your energy sources and activity areas, and mobilise reference emission factors when specific data is lacking. This way, you obtain a robust first reference year, which is refined from one year to the next. The absence of prior carbon accounting is the most common situation, not a hindrance.
How does the carbon assessment relate to a CSR approach, ISO 14001, or a reduction trajectory?+
The carbon assessment is the quantified foundation of any climate strategy: it feeds into an ISO 14001 environmental management system, an ISO 50001 energy efficiency approach, your ESG reporting, and, if desired, the definition of reduction targets aligned with an SBTi-type trajectory. TargetUp covers this normative and CSR ecosystem, allowing for a seamless transition from diagnosis to action plan and certification without a break in expertise.
