What We Deliver
Practical results, measurable impact, audit-ready every step.
Corporate Footprinting
A complete, GHG Protocol–aligned Scope 1–3 inventory with clear boundaries and materiality.
Targets & Strategy
SBTi-aligned pathway, marginal abatement curve, CAPEX/OPEX view, internal carbon price options.
PCF & LCA
Product priority SKU footprints (ISO 14067; screening LCA ISO 14040/44) to support customers and tenders.
Decarbonization Levers
Energy efficiency, electrification, renewable & low-carbon sourcing, logistics optimization.
Supply Chain Engagement
Tiered data asks, simple scoring, improvement plans, template clauses for procurement.
GHG Data Architecture
Right-sized data governance to reduce effort and audit risk, migrate to structured, scalable data systems.
Inventory Maintenance & Reporting Pack
Quarterly/annual updates & log. Keep the numbers current and audit-ready.
Assurance & Verification Prep
Liaison with verifiers with evidence binder, sampling files, and traceability checks
Sector Modules
Sector-specific expertise to cut carbon without the burden - SME ready.
Manufacturing
Energy-intensive operations, resource inefficiencies, and limited budgets make decarbonization difficult for manufacturing corporates.
Solution
We deliver process energy modeling, waste-heat recovery strategies, electrification roadmaps, and low-carbon material assessments.
Deliverables: Hotspot analysis, prioritized efficiency projects, ROI-based abatement plan, and compliance-ready inventory.
Built Environment
Facilities and service providers struggle with fragmented energy data, retrofit costs, and meeting EPC or EU performance standards.
Solution
We provide asset-level carbon assessments, retrofit prioritization, and procurement frameworks that balance operational and embodied carbon.
Deliverables: Building-level carbon footprint, retrofit stack, procurement guide, and compliance summary (EU EPBD, UK SECR).
Retail & Logistics
SMEs in retail face mounting pressure to decarbonize transport, packaging, and supply chains without squeezing margins.
Solution
We create fleet transition plans, optimize logistics networks, and redesign packaging with circularity in mind.
Deliverables: Fleet roadmap, optimized route plans, packaging redesign toolkit, and Scope 3 footprint model.
ICT & SaaS
Digital SMEs often underestimate emissions from cloud services, hardware, and energy-intensive data centers.
Solution
We calculate cloud and hardware footprints, review software energy efficiency, and address remote work and commuting impacts.
Deliverables: ICT footprint dashboard, lifecycle analysis of hardware, energy-efficiency recommendations, and reporting templates for tenders.
Finance & Services
Growing client and investor demand forces SMEs in finance and services to disclose Scope 3 emissions transparently.
Solution
We conduct Scope 3 screenings, optimize business travel, and support financed emissions accounting.
Deliverables: Scope 3 dataset, supplier assessment toolkit, travel reduction plan, and lender/client-ready disclosure pack.
Public Sector & Education
Limited budgets and fragmented accountability make it difficult to manage carbon effectively.
Solution
We deliver inventories, procurement decarbonization strategies, training workshops, and grant-ready sustainability reports.
Deliverables: Verified carbon inventory, procurement guidelines, staff training modules, and grant-application support reports.
How We Reduce Burden & Cost
Simplify with Ready-to-Use Frameworks
We provide pre-built digital templates, factor libraries, and standardized workflows so companies don’t have to start from scratch. This reduces the need for expensive bespoke systems and makes audits faster and cheaper.
Scale at Your Pace
Our modular approach—baseline first, deeper insights later—lets SMEs control costs by focusing only on what’s material. You avoid overspending on software or consultants before the basics are in place, while ensuring future scalability.
Automate Where It Matters
We use AI assistance and lightweight automation to cut manual data handling, reduce reporting errors, and avoid repetitive work. This lowers internal workload and shortens reporting cycles, freeing up resources for actual carbon reduction.
