A carbon footprint measures the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, or product. To calculate it, you assess emissions from various activities such as energy use, transportation, and waste generation, then use emission factors to quantify the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions associated with each activity. Finally, summing up all emissions provides an estimate of the carbon footprint, helping individuals and organizations understand their environmental impact and identify opportunities for reduction.

Whether you’re a small consulting firm or a large manufacturing company, your activities generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, directly contributing to climate change. The effects of a changing climate will manifest as hotter temperatures, increased severity of weather events, sea-level rise and ocean acidification, melting ice caps and glaciers, loss of biodiversity, increased health risks, mass displacement, and food and water scarcity in many regions of the world. In order to reduce the impacts of climate change, it’s important that we all start by understanding our own climate footprint and then take action to reduce our emissions as we collectively work towards a net zero future.

Our GHG Inventory service aids in reducing your carbon footprint, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, and enhancing your brand. It helps attract talent and meet customer and investor expectations for sustainability.

Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions refer to different categories of greenhouse gas emissions associated with an organization's activities. Scope 1 emissions comprise direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization, such as onsite combustion. Scope 2 emissions encompass indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy, while Scope 3 emissions include all other indirect emissions that occur in a company's value chain, including emissions from upstream and downstream activities in the supply chain. Understanding and managing these emissions are crucial steps for organizations committed to reducing their carbon footprint and mitigating climate change.

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic analysis of the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its entire lifecycle, from raw material extraction through to disposal or recycling. It helps in identifying opportunities to improve the environmental performance of products or services.

Our Life Cycle Assessment services cater to a wide range of industries including manufacturing, energy, agriculture, and consumer goods. We tailor our approach to meet the specific needs and challenges of each industry.

Carbon consulting is a professional service that assists businesses and organizations in assessing their carbon footprint and developing strategies to reduce it. Consultants provide tailored guidance and solutions to manage and mitigate carbon emissions, working closely with clients to achieve sustainability goals and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.

Yes! Many factors are taken into consideration in quantifying new and existing technologies’ role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We work with our clients to determine appropriate counterfactual processes, products, and timelines for which to compare in order to estimate avoided GHG emissions.
