THE SHORT ANSWER

Carbon accounting estimates greenhouse gas emissions from business activities using activity data and relevant emission factors. A starting inventory often focuses on Scope 1 direct emissions and Scope 2 purchased energy, with Scope 3 value-chain categories screened according to the intended use and reporting requirements.

When this
becomes useful.

A customer needs emissions data, but your utility bills, fuel records and operational boundaries are scattered. A number without assumptions or an evidence trail is difficult to explain.

What to prepare

  • Electricity bills and fuel purchase records
  • Facility, fleet and refrigerant information
  • Reporting period and inventory purpose
WHAT YOU CAN RECEIVE / SUBJECT TO SCOPE

Clear outputs.
Useful next steps.

  1. Organisational and operational boundary memo
  2. Activity-data collection workbook
  3. Scope 1 and Scope 2 inventory with documented assumptions
  4. Relevant Scope 3 screening and next-step recommendations

Scope 3 depth, site visits and verification are agreed separately. An inventory is not a carbon-neutral certification or a promise that emissions have fallen.

How the engagement works

Start with a discussion of your request and deadline. Review the information available, agree the delivery adviser and written scope, then confirm deliverables, responsibilities and fees before proceeding. Your management team reviews and approves the final information.

What affects the fee?

Company complexity, number of sites, quality of existing records, stakeholder requirements, review rounds and deadlines. Request a scoped proposal rather than comparing unrelated package prices.
