Greenhouse Gas Inventories & Reporting

Having a clear view of carbon and green house gas (GHG) emissions across your organisation is essential for so many reasons. To set and meet organisational reduction targets, to deliver regulatory compliance, for effective corporate reporting, the list could go on.

We are highly experienced in conducting carbon and GHG audits, inventories and benchmarking exercises. We conduct technical audits across all areas of an organisation, project or product.  Our in depth studies have included buildings, data centres, manufacturing facilities, laboratories, corporate operations (including travel) and product supply chains. Through a systematic approach, we identify and prioritise opportunities of commercial value.

Once a comprehensive understanding of your carbon profile has been established, we work with you to develop a long term GHG inventory management plan. This will record all emission levels so that you can monitor for abnormalities and performance against targets, and for extracting data for corporate reporting. We assist by:

• Setting inventory boundaries and accounting rules
• Identifying metrics and data requirements
• Quantifying the benefits and risks
• Target setting
• Providing emission factors and calculations for emission conversions
• Systems development and implementation
• Setting the requirements for external data verification
• Providing a roadmap and programme plan for maintaining the inventory
• Identifying and scoping roles for inventory management
• Conducting periodic reviews of the components of the inventory plan to ensure alignment with GHG accounting standards
