Building a credible Scope 1–3 emissions baseline
Why the number matters less than the process you use to get there, and how to make that process durable.
Read the article →We support organizations in developing a structured understanding of their carbon footprint and using emissions data to inform decision-making, reporting and improvement. Our goal is not simply to produce an emissions number — it is to help you establish a credible baseline and use carbon information to support better decisions.
Define your organizational and operational boundaries, identify emission sources and build an inventory following the GHG Protocol.
Direct emissions from generators, fleet and processes (Scope 1), purchased energy (Scope 2), and a structured screening of the value-chain categories that are relevant to you (Scope 3).
Source documented activity data first, then apply and record the right emission factors, global warming potentials and assumptions, with data quality levels made visible.
Put in place data owners, review steps, an audit trail and a baseline-year policy, so the inventory can be reproduced next year and stands up to assurance.
Find the hotspots in your inventory, assess credible reduction options and plan which to pursue first.
Make sure your methodology meets the standards your stakeholders expect, including PCAF for financed emissions where you are a financial institution.
The same four-step approach on every engagement, applied to carbon accounting and GHG management.
Establish boundaries, map emission sources and review the data you already hold and who owns it.
Set the methodology, emission factors, data collection process and controls for the inventory.
Calculate the baseline, document assumptions and uncertainty, and set up the reporting outputs.
Improve data quality year on year, track performance against the baseline and refine reduction plans.
