Define your boundaries: First, we establish which emissions you'll account for. There are three scopes defined by the GHG Protocol, the most widely used international standard for GHG accounting:
- Scope 1: These are direct emissions from your own facilities, like fuel combustion for boilers or vehicles.
- Scope 2: These are indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or cooling.
- Scope 3: These are all other indirect emissions that occur in your value chain, such as business travel, waste disposal, or purchased materials.
Collect data: Once boundaries are set, we gather data on the activities that generate emissions within those scopes. This might include:
- Utility bills for electricity, natural gas, etc.
- Fuel consumption records for vehicles
- Business travel receipts
- Waste disposal invoices
Calculate emissions: Post data collection, we multiply your activity data by the corresponding emission factors to estimate your total GHG emissions via spreadsheets or specialized software.
Report and verify: We prepare reports for your emissions publicly or to stakeholders. Third-party verification can add an an extra layer of credibility to your report.
Conducting GHG accounting for a product involves assessing its emissions throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.
Define the product system: Clearly identify the product to analyze and establish the system boundaries. This includes all stages from "cradle to grave" or "cradle to cradle" depending on whether the product is recycled or reused at the end of its life.
Identify emission sources: Pinpoint all the activities within the product system that generate greenhouse gas emissions. This might include:
- Raw material extraction and processing
- Manufacturing and assembly
- Transportation and distribution
- Product use and maintenance
- End-of-life disposal or recycling
Data collection: Gather data on the resources and energy consumed at each stage of the product system. This could involve:
- Bill of materials for the product
- Energy consumption data for manufacturing facilities
- Transportation distances and modes of transport
- Typical product lifespan and disposal methods
Choose allocation methods: There are different allocation methods, such as economic allocation or physical allocation, depending on the situation.
Apply life cycle inventory (LCI) data: Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) databases provide emission factors that convert your activity data (e.g., amount of materials used) into greenhouse gas emissions like kg or MT of CO2e.
Calculate product footprint: Use the LCI data and allocation methods to calculate the total greenhouse gas footprint of your product across its entire life cycle.
Reporting and improvement: Once you have the results, we will communicate your product's carbon footprint and explore potential areas for reduction throughout the life cycle.
GHG Inventory Assessment: Analyze your current emissions to understand your baseline footprint.
Decarbonization Roadmap: Develop a customized plan with actionable steps to reduce emissions.

Supplier ESG Assessments: Evaluate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance to meet client or purchaser sustainability standards.
Certification Support: Help suppliers achieve certifications like FSC, RSPO, Fair Trade, or ISO 14001 to align with procurement policies.
Carbon Footprinting: Measure Scope 3 emissions (purchased goods and services) to comply with corporate climate targets (like SBTi requirements).
Supplier Audits & Screening: Conduct sustainability audits and risk screening to ensure supplier compliance with ethical, environmental, and labor standards.
Reporting Alignment: Assist suppliers in aligning disclosures with frameworks like CDP Supply Chain, EcoVadis, SECR, or CSRD.
