Greenhouse gas balance

A greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory is the foundation for setting ambitious and credible climate targets. We support clients across various industries in compiling their GHG inventory, defining and submitting their climate targets, and conducting external verification of their emissions data.

The starting point

Large companies are increasingly required to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and strategic plans for achieving climate neutrality. These requirements also affect small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): As producers, suppliers, or buyers, they must also measure and reduce emissions from their business activities.

A GHG inventory provides transparency and enables companies to identify both direct and indirect emissions within their operations and across the entire value chain. This is a crucial step toward effective climate action.

Our contribution

We assess your company’s greenhouse gas emissions and prepare a comprehensive inventory in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. A full assessment of direct and upstream/downstream emissions forms the basis for identifying key emission sources and developing a realistic reduction pathway. In collaboration with your company, we design effective measures and develop a tailored decarbonization strategy. Finally, we support you with a robust monitoring system on your journey to net zero.

Additionally, we assist with the submission and validation of climate targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We define scientifically sound climate goals aligned with the Paris Agreement and handle the submission process.
