Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Greenhouse Gas Inventory
(Calculating the Corporate Carbon Footprint – Also commonly termed as Carbon Accounting)
You can’t manage what you don’t measure!
- Peter Drucker -
This applies to your organization’s Corporate Carbon Footprint too. If you want to set a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal for (say) 2030. You first need to calculate your organization’s Carbon Footprint.
In other words you need to do a Base line Greenhouse Gas Inventory (say) this year. Set your reduction goal for (say) 2030 and do a Greenhouse Gas Inventory annually, each year after the base line year, to track progress.
We specialize in Carbon Accounting. We can do a Greenhouse Gas Inventory for your organization in one of two ways:
Option 1. Focusing only on Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG Emissions.
Option 2. Covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 GHG Emissions.
Climate Risk Assessment
Climate Risk Assessment
This starts with a high level audit of the organization, which includes topics such as:
- Understanding the Organization and Its Context,
- Legal and Other Requirements,
- Leadership and Commitment,
- Sustainability Goals,
- DeCarbonization of Supply Chain,
- Resource Allocation.
This is followed by a deep dive audit which includes topics such as:
- Consultation and Participation of Employees,
- Awareness of Sustainability and Climate Risks,
- Opportunities for Mitigation of, or Adaptation to these risks.
- Progress towards achieving Sustainability Goals.
- Progress towards achieving DeCarbonization of Supply Chain.
This is followed by an assessment of Transition Risks as well as Physical Risks. It then goes through a Risk Management Analysis.
In conclusion, an Assessment Report is provided to the organization. This includes an assessment of Climate Risk defined by levels of severity of risk. These may vary from
- Opportunities for Improvement
- Minor Findings
- Major Findings
Sustainability Strategy
Sustainability Strategy
“Goodbye Theory ………. Hello Action”
Calculating the Base Line Carbon Footprint of the organization is only the first step. This is followed by Setting a Sustainability Goal eg. The organization will become(say) Net Zero by (say) 2030.
Once the Sustainability Goal is set, a Sustainability Strategy Needs to be built. A sound sustainability strategy delivers tangible, measurable and attributable impacts to the organization, which when executed well will result in the achievement of the sustainability goal.
Put succinctly, we provide a sustainability strategy that results in:
- Achievement of the Sustainability Goal
- Management of Climate Risk and Delivery of Responsible Growth.
The Sustainability Strategy includes recommendations of Prioritized Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategies. Each Strategy component will most probably be accompanied by:
- A ball park estimate of their implementation cost.
- Emissions reduced per year.
- Savings per year – brought about by their implementation
- Payback Period
- Guidelines on their optimal execution.
