Our carbon footprint consulting services support organizations in calculating, verifying and reducing greenhouse gas emissions at both organizational and product level.
A carbon footprint represents the total greenhouse gas emissions generated directly and indirectly by an organization, product or activity, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent.
Calculating the carbon footprint helps organizations understand their main emission sources, establish realistic reduction targets and respond to customer, investor and supply-chain requirements.
When carbon footprint consulting is useful
Carbon footprint consulting is useful when an organization needs to determine Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, respond to customer climate-data requests, prepare information for reporting, or support reduction targets and independent verification.
Support may include defining the methodology and calculation boundaries, collecting activity data, selecting appropriate emission factors and interpreting the results.
Organizational carbon footprint
The assessment may include:
Scope 1 – direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization;
Scope 2 – indirect emissions associated with purchased energy;
Scope 3 – other indirect emissions across the value chain, including raw materials, transport, business travel, waste and product use.
Product Carbon Footprint
Product Carbon Footprint quantifies the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the life cycle of a product, from raw materials and manufacturing through distribution, use and end-of-life.
The calculation can support decisions regarding materials, suppliers, manufacturing processes, logistics, energy efficiency and product design.
Our services
Definition of boundaries and emission sources – we establish the scope of the assessment and identify relevant emission sources;
Collection and verification of activity data – we review consumption data, volumes, distances and other inputs used in the calculation;
Greenhouse gas emissions calculation – we apply relevant emission factors and calculation methodologies;
Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 assessment – we structure the emissions inventory by category and source;
Product Carbon Footprint calculation – we assess emissions associated with the product and relevant life-cycle stages;
Identification of significant emission sources – we highlight the activities with the largest contribution to the total footprint;
Reduction measures and targets – we support the definition of realistic emission-reduction actions;
Documentation preparation – we support alignment with ISO 14064-1 and ISO 14067;
Training – we prepare responsible personnel to calculate, interpret and report greenhouse gas emissions.
What we verify in practice
We review organizational and operational boundaries, emission sources, data quality, emission factors, calculation assumptions, traceability of information and the evidence supporting the reported results.
The objective is to obtain a clear and credible view of emissions that supports informed decisions and meaningful reduction measures.
We transform operational data into a transparent and verifiable picture of greenhouse gas emissions that supports climate-performance improvement.
Carbon Footprint – measure emissions, define the reduction pathway.
