ESG & Sustainability Advisory
GHG Accounting & Carbon Footprint Advisory
Why It Matters
Why Organizations Must Measure Their Carbon Footprint
Climate Accountability Expectations
Stakeholders, investors, and regulators increasingly expect organizations to measure, disclose, and manage their greenhouse gas emissions transparently.
Investor & Regulatory Transparency
Climate disclosure frameworks like TCFD and CDP require robust emissions data, making carbon accounting essential for investor relations and compliance.
Sustainability Reporting Requirements
Standards such as GRI, BRSR, and CSRD mandate quantified emissions reporting, requiring structured GHG accounting systems across organizations.
Corporate Net-Zero Commitments
Achieving science-based net-zero targets requires accurate baseline emissions measurement and ongoing carbon footprint tracking across all scopes.
Climate Risk Management
Understanding your carbon footprint helps identify climate-related risks, inform mitigation strategies, and build organizational resilience against regulatory changes.
The GHG Framework
The Framework for Measuring Organizational Emissions
GHG accounting follows the globally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which categorizes emissions into three scopes to provide a comprehensive view of an organization’s carbon footprint.
Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned sources. Scope 2 accounts for indirect emissions from purchased energy. Scope 3 encompasses all other value chain emissions — often the largest portion of an organization’s carbon footprint.
Together, these three scopes provide the complete picture needed for credible sustainability reporting, science-based target setting, and strategic climate action planning.
Scope 1 Emissions
Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources including combustion, process emissions, and fugitive releases
Scope 2 Emissions
Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the organization
Scope 3 Emissions
All other indirect emissions across the value chain including supply chain, logistics, and product use
Organizational Carbon Footprint
Our Methodology
Our Carbon Accounting Advisory Approach
Carbon Footprint Diagnostic
Comprehensive assessment of your organization's current emissions profile, data availability, measurement practices, and carbon accounting readiness across operations.
Emissions Data Collection Framework
Design and implementation of structured data collection systems to capture activity data across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission sources with appropriate emission factors.
GHG Accounting Methodology
Establishment of GHG accounting protocols aligned with international standards like GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, ensuring consistent and verifiable emissions calculations.
Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions Inventory
Complete organizational carbon footprint inventory covering direct operations, energy consumption, and value chain emissions with detailed source categorization.
Climate Governance Integration
Integration of carbon accounting into organizational governance frameworks, sustainability reporting systems, and strategic decision-making processes.
Core Components
Core Elements of Emissions Measurement
Scope 1 Direct Emissions
Measurement and accounting of direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization, including fuel combustion and industrial processes.
Scope 2 Energy Emissions
Accounting for indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat, and cooling, using both location-based and market-based calculation methods.
Scope 3 Value Chain Emissions
Comprehensive assessment of indirect emissions across the entire value chain including upstream supply chain, transportation, business travel, and downstream product use.
Carbon Data Governance
Structured systems for emissions data collection, validation, quality assurance, and management to ensure accurate and auditable carbon accounting records.
Emissions Reporting Framework
Reporting systems aligned with GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and stakeholder disclosure requirements for transparent and credible emissions communication.
