We calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions under the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064; ESG reporting gets its data and a reduction strategy.
The critical topics this service addresses and the outcome we deliver in each.
Direct, electricity and value-chain emissions are calculated with DEFRA/EPA/IPCC factors; the baseline is recorded in an evidence file.
A data pack aligned to GRI 305, CDP and TCFD outputs is produced; standards alignment is reported, external verification left to the auditor.
A target aligned to 1.5C or well-below 2C is set; reduction projects are portfolioed within a contracted scope.
External verification under ISO 14064-3 is recommended; the verification decision and sign-off belong to the client's auditor.
How we phase the service across delivery, governance, and connected service pillars.
We establish the data collection methodology and process design in the first year, building the emission inventory from energy bills, travel data and supplier surveys.
We calculate emissions with DEFRA, EPA and IPCC factors across Scope 1, 2 and 3, record the baseline in an evidence file and prioritise reductions on concrete data.
We define an SBTi-aligned target, turn reduction projects into a portfolio and track performance continuously on a carbon management platform; reporting is renewed on an annual cadence.
Illustrative surfaces where this service is commonly activated.
An inventory including Scope 3 is established, providing early preparation for the upcoming requirements of EU CSRD and similar regulations.
CDP and TCFD outputs supply climate data to financial stakeholders; an SBTi target is reported as a commitment signal.
Emission intensity is measured so regulatory and carbon-tax risks are tracked proactively and reductions are planned.
This service's depth on sector-specific technical and compliance topics.
Scope 3 (value chain) is not yet mandatory in most regulations but will soon be required under CSRD and SEC rules; starting early is an advantage for stakeholder expectations.
Offsetting is complementary; reduction comes first, then an offset strategy for unavoidable emissions.
The first year is labour-intensive while the data infrastructure is built; in later years automated data flows make the process markedly easier.
Regulatory pressure from the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), SEC climate disclosure rules, and investor-driven ESG scoring has made carbon accounting a board-level priority—yet most organizations still rely on spreadsheet-based estimates with poor data lineage and no auditability. Our Carbon Footprint Reporting service builds a defensible, standards-aligned carbon inventory covering Scope 1, 2, and material Scope 3 categories. We eliminate the gap between sustainability ambition and verifiable disclosure.
Shorten operational cycle time against agreed measurement targets and acceptance criteria
Turn the outcome into a measurable target with baseline, owner, and review cadence
Make stakeholder confidence, quality, and adoption outcomes traceable through agreed evidence indicators
Our engagement covers the design, implementation, and operationalization of your carbon accounting program from initial boundary-setting through to annual reporting cycle support. We work across all organizational functions generating emissions data—finance, procurement, facilities, IT, logistics, and HR—and integrate with existing ERP and finance systems to minimize manual data collection burden.
Shorten operational cycle time against agreed measurement targets and acceptance criteria
Make cost and resource optimization measurable against the agreed baseline and review cadence
Turn the outcome into a measurable target with baseline, owner, and review cadence
Deliverables are designed to serve three distinct needs simultaneously: operational accuracy for internal decision-making, regulatory compliance for mandatory disclosures, and stakeholder credibility for voluntary reporting frameworks such as CDP and GRI. Each output is accompanied by a data lineage document that supports external assurance.
Make operational speed, resilience, and response outcomes measurable through contracted scope and acceptance criteria
Shorten operational cycle time against agreed measurement targets and acceptance criteria
Provide CFO and board with decision-ready carbon reduction investment cases prioritized by cost per tonne abated
For IT-intensive organizations, the most material Scope 3 categories are typically Category 1 (purchased goods and services, including cloud and SaaS), Category 11 (use of sold products, including software and hardware energy consumption), and Category 3 (fuel and energy-related activities not in Scope 1/2). We conduct a materiality screening in the first phase of engagement using revenue weighting and industry benchmarks to prioritize data collection effort.
Location-based Scope 2 uses the average emission intensity of the electricity grid in the country or region where consumption occurs. Market-based accounting uses contractual instruments such as renewable energy certificates or supplier-specific emission rates, which can result in significantly lower reported emissions if green tariffs or PPAs are in place. GHG Protocol requires companies to report both figures; regulators such as the SEC and ESRS accept market-based as primary for reduction claims.
We apply a tiered data quality hierarchy: primary metered data is preferred, followed by supplier-specific emission factors, then industry average factors from databases such as ecoinvent or EPA. All estimated values are flagged with a data quality score, and we maintain a data quality improvement register to prioritize gap closure over successive reporting cycles. This approach is consistent with GHG Protocol guidance and accepted by CDP and external assurance providers.
Organizations can adopt net-zero commitments under their own frameworks, but without SBTi validation, claims are vulnerable to greenwashing scrutiny from investors, regulators, and customers. We recommend pursuing SBTi near-term and long-term target validation as the minimum credibility threshold. For sectors covered by SBTi's Net-Zero Standard, we structure the inventory and reduction roadmap to meet both the 1.5°C near-term pathway and the published absolute reduction requirement for net-zero.
established practice is to maintain a live or near-live carbon inventory updated at minimum quarterly, with annual formal close for external reporting. Quarterly updates allow operational teams to track performance against reduction targets in near-real time and catch data quality issues before year-end. For organizations subject to CSRD, interim reporting obligations may require higher-frequency data availability.
The package includes pre-populated disclosure templates for each applicable framework (CSRD ESRS E1, CDP, TCFD), a cross-reference matrix showing how each data point in your inventory maps to specific disclosure requirements, a materiality statement, and an evidence folder with source documents supporting each reported figure. For CDP, we also include narrative responses for all scored questions based on your program data.
