Yes. Bilan Carbone® identifies where emissions occur, including scope 3, but remains at an aggregated level. The energy audit examines the technical detail of energy sources (boiler, furnace, control system, heat recovery) and quantifies investments with their payback period. For an industrial company or a company with substantial property holdings with 50 to 500 employees and no mandatory audit deadline, the right sequence is the footprint assessment first, then the audit of scope 1 and 2 sources considered priorities. An audit replaces neither BEGES, CSRD requirements nor customers' carbon requests.
