Carbon Baseline & Carbon Reporting Service
Carbon Baseline Assessment
Establishing a carbon baseline is the critical first step in understanding your organisation’s current emissions profile. This involves calculating your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, following the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol standards. Our accredited carbon consultants and finance professionals work closely with you to gather and analyse data, ensuring accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Data Collection and Analysis
Top-Down and Ground-Up Calculations
Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., company vehicles, on-site fuel combustion).
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the reporting company.
- Scope 3: All other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain (e.g., business travel, waste disposal, purchased goods and services).
Centralised Software System
Carbon Reduction Planning
Once the baseline is established, we help you develop a detailed carbon reduction plan aligned with Science-Based Targets (SBTi) to ensure your goals meet international climate standards.
Scenario
Planning
Using advanced modeling tools to project future emissions and explore various reduction scenarios.
Strategic
Advisory
Providing insights and strategies for energy efficiency, low-carbon design, and operational improvements.
Integration
with FP&A
Aligning carbon reduction targets with financial planning and analysis processes to ensure accountability and track progress against budgets and business plans.
Carbon Reporting
Regular reporting is essential for tracking progress and maintaining transparency. We assist in preparing comprehensive reports for internal stakeholders and external regulatory bodies.
Compliance and Certification
Ensuring adherence to reporting standards like CDP, TCR, and other regulatory requirements.
Custom Inventory Reporting Tools
Tailored tools for maintaining and updating GHG inventories year-over-year.
Lifecycle Assessment
Detailed analysis of emissions across the entire lifecycle of products and operations.
Carbon BI Dashboards
Our carbon Business Intelligence (BI) dashboards support the reporting and presentation of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. These dashboards can be integrated into FP&A and actual finance datasets, aligning operational practices with financial data to provide a comprehensive view of carbon performance.
Methodologies
Science-Based Targets (SBTi)
We align your carbon reduction targets with the SBTi framework, ensuring they are scientifically grounded and aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.
Top-Down and Ground-Up Calculations
- Top-Down Approach: Utilise financial data, applying emission factors to expenditure categories to estimate emissions.
- Ground-Up Approach: Collects detailed activity data (e.g., energy usage, travel data) to calculate emissions from the ground up.
Financial Benefits of Carbon Reduction
Investing in carbon reduction technologies and enhanced processes not only benefits the environment but also provides significant financial returns:
Operational Efficiencies
Companies can achieve up to 20% cost savings through improved energy efficiency and waste reduction.
Reduced Energy Costs
Switching to renewable energy sources and optimising energy usage can lower energy bills by 15-30%.
Enhanced Brand Reputation
