Carbon Accounting
Being a climate positive business and taking active steps to reduce our environmental impact has been important to us since day one. So important, in fact, that we’ve evolved a value into a service for clients who share our want for positive change.
Carbon Accounting is the process of accurately reporting non-financial information that leads to a clear understanding of what your businesses emissions are and how those emissions are being created. It means that you can take steps to offset your business to either become a carbon neutral or positive business, knowing you’ve done so properly. No stabs in the dark – decision making based on real data.
Mandatory Reporting
Mandatory sustainability reporting is being phased in for eligible entities. Smaller businesses may also be asked for emissions information by larger customers in their supply chain. We can help you understand the information your business may need to provide.
Scope One Emissions
These are the emissions that your business directly creates such as vehicles you put on the roads or energy you consume to create your product.
Scope Two Emissions
These are indirect emissions like the electricity provider you’ve chosen to engage with – what are their greenhouse gas emissions?
Scope Three Emissions
This refers to the emissions of your providers. For instance, what’s the carbon footprint of your accountant?
