Greenhouse Gas Inventory

Greenhouse Gas Inventory Icon

Knowing where to start is often the hardest part.

A GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Inventory is a one-off piece of work that shows you where your CO2e emissions are coming from across all aspects of your business. It will provide you with the following:

  • Your baseline emissions data (the foundation for any carbon reduction or net zero plan)

  • Information on all your emission sources to help identify your highest emitting activities and determine which reductions will achieve the greatest impact

  • Clarity on which emissions your business is responsible for (this is called boundary setting)

  • Instantly available emissions data for your suppliers, partners and contractors (including public sector contracts)

Why have a GHG (greenhouse gas) Inventory?

A full GHG Inventory will often reveal easy wins that are low cost, quick to implement and have a high impact.

How long does it take?

It takes three – six months to complete depending on the size and nature of your business and gives you information and options with no immediate commitment.

Scope 1 (Emissions generated directly from a company's property or asset, for example fuel combustion in company owned boilers)

Scope 2 (Emissions generated indirectly that are off site yet purchased by the company, for example electricity consumption)

Scope 3 (Emissions generated via a company's supply chain. This is the most complex scope but has the highest impact - on average, 70-90% of a company's emissions can be attributed to its supply chain)
