A full carbon footprint that survives auditor scrutiny — organisational boundaries, activity data across all three scopes, and a baseline year structured for the disclosures you'll have to make next.
A carbon footprint is a structured inventory of the greenhouse gases your organisation is responsible for, expressed in tonnes of CO₂ equivalent across a defined boundary and reporting year.
Done properly, it isn't a spreadsheet of guesses. We set a clear organisational boundary, gather real activity data — energy, travel, freight, purchased goods — and apply recognised emission factors to calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to the GHG Protocol.
The output is a baseline year: the number every future target, disclosure and reduction claim will be measured against. Get the baseline wrong and everything built on it is wrong, so we build it to survive third-party verification from day one.
The GHG Protocol splits emissions into three scopes. Most of your footprint — and most of the work — sits in Scope 3.
Fuel burned on site and in owned vehicles — gas boilers, company fleet, refrigerants.
Electricity, heat and steam you buy. Reported both location-based and market-based.
Purchased goods & services, capital goods, business travel, commuting, waste.
Distribution, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of what you sell.
Every figure traceable to a source — invoice, meter, supplier factor — and rated for quality.
Structured so an external assuror can sign it off against ISO 14064-1 without rework.
Every carbon engagement delivers the following. No add-ons, no surprise scope creep.
A first baseline runs over four short phases. Most of the elapsed time is waiting on data, so we chase it for you.

For most organisations Scope 3 is 70–90% of the footprint, and it's now expected by B Corp, SBTi and the major disclosure frameworks. We scope it pragmatically — material categories first — rather than chasing every line to false precision.
Energy bills, mileage and travel records, a purchase ledger, and waste and water figures where available. We provide templates and do the supplier chasing; you provide access and a point of contact.
Yes. We build to ISO 14064-1 so that if you later want independent assurance, the inventory and evidence trail stand up without being rebuilt.
The baseline is the fixed reference point for your targets. We document the methodology and a recalculation policy so the baseline stays comparable if your business structure changes.
Annually. The first baseline is the heavy lift; subsequent years reuse the same structure and are faster and cheaper.
