Measuring your carbon emissions is an important part of your Net Zero programme. Your calculation must be accurate so that you have a solid understanding of what to reduce and how to go about it. It is also critical in measuring and monitoring the effectiveness of your carbon reduction activity.

Once we’ve calculated your carbon emissions, we take you through the results of your audit. We discuss your Scope 1,2 & 3 emissions and explain the hotspots in your carbon footprint. Our team will help you fully understand your carbon emissions report and equip you to share the information across your organisation. 

We’ll help you identify the best solutions to everyday challenges, including waste reduction and renewable energy.

From onboarding to the evaluation of your results – your carbon accounting expert will support you all the way

Our team of sustainability specialists will advise and support you throughout the process; while you can track your progress using our intuitive project management tool. 

We are proud to be a member of the Carbon Accounting Alliance, a coalition of over 280 organisations who collectively represent over 60,000 company carbon footprints.

Move from intent to impact by using your carbon footprint measurement to create a credible carbon reduction plan. From simple Carbon Reduction Plans to Net Zero Strategies, we’ll help you to create a compelling approach to minimise your carbon emissions.

How we can support you

We measure all Scope 1, 2 & upstream 3 emission categories as standard, meaning that you will have a good understanding of your organisation’s carbon footprint across your own operations and supply chain. If you choose to measure downstream Scope 3 emissions (if applicable) you will gain further insight into your customer’s use and disposal of your products or services.

Scenario modelling helps you to make informed business decisions, providing information about potential carbon and financial impacts. Decarbonise your business model and plan for a sustainable future.

Get detailed insights into the climate impact of your products by measuring the total greenhouse gas emissions generated throughout their lifecycle, from raw material extraction through manufacturing, transportation, usage, and disposal (cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave, or cradle-to-cradle). We align with the GHG Protocol Product Standard, but can additionally report to ISO 14067 standards or PAS 2050 if required.

Understand the wider environmental impacts of your products or services throughout their lifecycle, from raw material extraction through manufacturing, transportation, usage, and disposal (cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave, or cradle-to-cradle). Your expert will work closely with you to define your scope and impact measurement requirements. We can work to several standards including ISO 14040 & ISO 14044, and the EU’s standardised Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology.

As a follow-up to an LCA, you may be requested to create and report an EPD. Our team can support you with reporting to ISO 14025, arranging and engaging with independent auditors, and registering your products.
