Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reporting Services

GHG reporting involves tracking and documenting emissions from operations, categorized by Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, using recognized standards like ISO 14064 and the GHG Protocol.

Any organization aiming for sustainability certifications, complying with national regulations, or wanting to improve environmental transparency should perform GHG reporting.

GHG reporting helps businesses identify major emission sources, set reduction targets, monitor progress, and adopt low-carbon strategies, contributing directly to net-zero goals and climate action plans.

Most organizations perform GHG reporting annually, although continuous monitoring is encouraged for real-time decision-making.

A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly or indirectly by a company. It is calculated by measuring all emission sources, converting them into CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e), and categorizing them by scope.

Greenhouse gas consulting can include emissions inventory development, data analysis, reporting support, benchmarking, and emissions reduction planning based on the organization’s requirements and greenhouse gas emissions.

A carbon footprint study provides an assessment of emissions for a defined period or scope, while greenhouse gas emissions reporting is a structured process for documenting and communicating emissions data according to applicable reporting requirements or frameworks.

Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by an organization. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions associated with the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Scope 3 emissions are other indirect emissions occurring across the organization’s value chain.

GHG reporting typically requires information on energy consumption, fuel use, transportation, waste, and other relevant emission sources. The data required depends on the organization’s operations, reporting boundaries, and applicable reporting requirements.

The organizational boundary defines the entities, facilities, and operations included in a greenhouse gas emissions inventory. Establishing this boundary helps determine which emissions are included in the reporting assessment.
