Measure, Understand, and Reduce Your Carbon Emissions
Comprehensive greenhouse gas inventories and actionable reduction strategies that position your organization on the path toward climate neutrality
Scientific Carbon Management
Understanding your carbon footprint is the foundation for climate action. Our comprehensive assessment service measures greenhouse gas emissions across your entire value chain using internationally recognized methodologies, providing the data foundation needed to develop effective reduction strategies and track progress toward climate goals.
We conduct detailed inventories covering direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), and all other indirect emissions in your value chain (Scope 3). This comprehensive approach identifies where emissions occur throughout your operations, supply chain, product use, and end-of-life stages.
Our analysis goes beyond measurement to identify emission hotspots and develop prioritized reduction strategies. We evaluate opportunities across energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy procurement, process optimization, material substitution, and supply chain engagement. Each recommendation includes implementation guidance, cost considerations, and expected emission reductions.
The service includes establishing carbon management systems for ongoing tracking, setting science-based reduction targets aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C, and developing multi-year decarbonization roadmaps. We support organizations in communicating carbon performance to stakeholders and meeting disclosure requirements for climate-related reporting frameworks.

Assessment Methodologies and Tools
Our carbon footprint assessment employs internationally recognized calculation methodologies and specialized software tools to ensure accurate, verifiable emission inventories.
GHG Protocol Standards
We apply the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, the most widely used international framework for carbon accounting. Our assessments follow GHG Protocol guidance for organizational boundary setting, scope categorization, emission calculation, and data quality management to ensure consistency and comparability.
Emission Factor Databases
Our calculations utilize the latest emission factors from authoritative sources including IPCC guidelines, national GHG inventories, and life cycle databases. We apply appropriate factors for electricity grids, fuel combustion, transportation modes, material production, and waste treatment to ensure accurate emission quantification across all sources.
Value Chain Mapping
We conduct comprehensive value chain analysis to identify all relevant Scope 3 emission sources including purchased goods and services, business travel, employee commuting, logistics, product use, and end-of-life treatment. This mapping ensures complete coverage of your carbon footprint beyond direct operations.
Carbon Accounting Software
We utilize specialized carbon accounting platforms that streamline data collection, automate calculations, and facilitate ongoing tracking. These systems provide dashboards for monitoring emission trends, identifying changes, and generating reports for internal management and external disclosure requirements.
Abatement Curve Development
Our reduction strategy development employs marginal abatement cost curve analysis that evaluates emission reduction opportunities based on cost-effectiveness and implementation feasibility. This approach helps prioritize initiatives that deliver maximum emission reductions within budget constraints while identifying opportunities that generate financial returns.
Renewable Energy Analysis
We evaluate renewable energy procurement options including on-site generation, power purchase agreements, renewable energy certificates, and green tariffs. Our analysis considers technical feasibility, financial implications, and emission reduction credibility to recommend optimal approaches for your organization's context and objectives.
Quality Standards and Verification
Our carbon assessment service adheres to internationally recognized standards and incorporates rigorous quality assurance processes to ensure accuracy and credibility.
ISO 14064 Alignment
Our assessment methodology aligns with ISO 14064-1 specifications for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and removals. This international standard provides principles and requirements for designing, developing, managing, and reporting organizational GHG inventories that support regulatory requirements, sustainability reporting, and carbon markets.
Data Quality Management
We implement comprehensive data quality procedures including source documentation, calculation verification, and uncertainty assessment. Our quality control processes ensure that emission calculations are based on reliable activity data, appropriate emission factors, and transparent methodological choices with clear documentation for audit purposes.
Third-Party Verification Support
For organizations requiring third-party assurance of their carbon footprint, we prepare inventories that meet verification standards and support the verification process. Our documentation and calculation transparency facilitate independent verification to limited or reasonable assurance levels by accredited verification bodies.
Continuous Improvement Process
Carbon accounting evolves as methodologies improve and new emission sources become material. Our service includes annual inventory updates that incorporate methodology refinements, improved data availability, and expanded boundary coverage. We maintain consistency in baseline year recalculation following GHG Protocol guidance when structural changes occur.
