We guide businesses through the landscape of emissions reporting, helping you meet regulatory requirements and investor expectations. Our verified GHG emissions inventories ensure accurate data, enabling transparent disclosure of your progress towards ambitious climate goals.

GHG

In today’s business landscape, the term and pathway to net zero have become increasingly prevalent. With greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions no longer a fringe concern, a growing number of consumers, investors, and governments are keenly interested in how businesses plan to achieve net zero.

Regulatory authorities worldwide are responding to the need for greater action on GHG emissions. New legislation mandates that organizations report their carbon footprints. Investors, too, are shifting their focus—while financial materiality remains core, environmental, social, and governance factors are now integral to decision-making. GHG emissions and a company’s ability to meet climate pledges are fundamental to this assessment.

GHG Management

Managing greenhouse gas emissions and monitoring GHG reporting is a critical step in any organization’s journey toward decarbonization.

GHG Inventory

A greenhouse gas inventory is a comprehensive list of emission sources, quantified using standardized methods. Our GHG Inventory Service helps organizations better manage their carbon footprint by quantifying and reducing emissions. Our team supports clients in developing GHG inventories that adhere to ISO 14064 and/or the GHG Protocol, ensuring alignment with your environmental objectives.

Objectives:

  • Managing GHG risks and identifying reduction opportunities
  • Participating in voluntary or mandatory GHG programs
  • Engaging in GHG markets
  • Achieving recognition for early voluntary action

Inventory Development Process:

  • Review accounting standards and methods, determine organizational and operational boundaries, and choose a base year.
  • Identify sources of emission.
  • Collect data and quantify GHG emissions.
  • Present data for discussion at the corporate level.
  • Set a GHG emission reduction target and track and report progress

GHG Management Plan
This plan identifies management and mitigation measures to minimize emission impacts. It includes:

  • A series of management actions to avoid, reduce, and offset emissions.
  • Establishing interim emission targets and revising aspirational long-term emission reduction goals.
  • Complying with all Federal and State laws regulating greenhouse gas emissions.
