Measurement & Accounting

Building credible emissions baselines through rigorous data collection, methodology, and auditable processes.

01

GHG Accounting,
Scope 1, 2, and 3

You can't reduce what you haven't measured. And measurement without rigour misleads more than it helps.

A credible GHG inventory underpins net zero targets, SBTi validation, and regulatory disclosures. Without it, climate claims lack integrity. We build inventories aligned with the GHG Protocol, covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3. By establishing robust data systems, we transform GHG accounting into a repeatable, auditable process that reveals meaningful reduction opportunities.

What We Deliver

Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG inventory development

GHG Protocol-aligned methodology design and documentation

Emission factor selection, activity data collection, and uncertainty analysis

Base year setting and organisational boundary definition

Assurance-ready reporting and data trail documentation

02

Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint is only useful if it's accurate. Accuracy requires more than spreadsheets and emission factors.

A credible carbon footprint sets the baseline for every climate commitment. Inaccurate data undermines targets and credibility with informed stakeholders. We calculate footprints using recognised methodologies, identify all material emission sources, and analyse key drivers—turning measurement into insight. This foundation supports disclosures and enables meaningful, actionable emission reduction strategies

What We Deliver

Corporate carbon footprint calculation across operational boundaries

Emission source identification and methodology documentation

Hotspot analysis identifying the largest emission drivers

Sector-relevant benchmark comparison

Data systems advisory for ongoing footprint tracking

03

ISO 14064 Consulting

ISO 14064 is the benchmark for independently verified GHG claims, distinguishing credible emissions reporting from unsupported assertions.

ISO 14064 sets the global standard for quantifying, monitoring, reporting, and verifying GHG emissions. We support ISO 14064-1 implementation through to ISO 14064-3 verification readiness—covering system design, emission categorisation, methodologies, and controls. The result is a robust, practical GHG programme that withstands independent scrutiny and meets stakeholder expectations.

What We Deliver

Double materiality assessment design and execution (CSRD/ESRS aligned)

Structured internal and external stakeholder engagement

Sector and peer benchmarking

Regulatory and reporting standard alignment (CSRD, ISSB, GRI)

Materiality matrix with prioritised action implications

Part II

Strategy & Pathways

Translating measurement into science-aligned reduction strategies, credible targets, and operational delivery plans.

04

Decarbonisation Strategy

A decarbonisation commitment without a strategy is an announcement. Building the strategy is the hard part.

A real decarbonisation strategy links your emissions baseline to climate commitments, defining targeted interventions, sequencing actions by impact and feasibility, and assigning clear accountability. We build practical, data-driven plans—covering abatement analysis, cost modelling, and governance—while enabling ongoing measurement, tracking, and review, ensuring strategies translate into sustained, measurable emissions reduction outcomes.

What We Deliver

Abatement opportunity analysis by emission source and scope

Decarbonisation pathway design with sequenced interventions

Feasibility and cost analysis across reduction options

Governance structure and accountability mapping for delivery

 

Progress measurement framework and annual review process

05

Net Zero Roadmap

Net zero without a roadmap is a liability.

Net zero without a clear roadmap, governance, and near-term action creates risk, not credibility. We build pathways from robust baselines, defining staged reduction targets and separating real emissions cuts from residuals requiring removal or offsets. Aligned with SBTi and Race to Zero, our plans ensure transparency, accountability, and measurable progress.

What We Deliver

Science-aligned net zero target setting and pathway design

Near, medium, and long-term milestone development

Residual emissions assessment and carbon removal strategy

Operational action plan with ownership and accountability mapping

Alignment assessment against SBTi, Race to Zero, and sector frameworks

06

SBTi Consulting

An approved SBTi target is the difference between a climate commitment and a climate credential.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is the leading benchmark for credible climate commitments. We guide organisations from commitment to validated targets, developing emissions inventories, applying sector-specific methodologies, and preparing submissions. By addressing Scope 3 and residual emissions early, we ensure alignment with the 1.5°C pathway and successful validation outcomes.

What We Deliver

SBTi commitment letter support and readiness assessment

Near-term and net-zero target calculations aligned to SBTi methodologies

Submission package preparation and review

Scope 3 target development and coverage analysis

Post-validation progress tracking and annual disclosure support

Part III

Risk & Resilience

Understanding and integrating climate risk into how your organisation plans, invests, and operates.

07

Climate Risk & Scenario Analysis

Climate risk is a present reality. For many organisations, the financial exposure is already here.

Climate risk is already impacting financial performance through insurance costs, disruption, and asset exposure. We assess physical and transition risks using TCFD, ISSB IFRS S2, and CSRD-aligned scenarios. By embedding insights into planning and investment decisions, organisations can move from analysis to action and build resilience for a rapidly changing climate future.

What We Deliver

Physical and transition climate risk assessment

Scenario analysis aligned to TCFD, ISSB S2, and CSRD requirements

Climate risk quantification and financial materiality assessment

Strategy resilience testing across multiple warming scenarios

Climate risk integration into enterprise risk management frameworks
