  • Our process

Carbon accounting is the process of measuring and calculating your organisation’s greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2 and, where relevant, Scope 3.

 

It gives your business a reliable emissions baseline for reporting, compliance, target-setting and reduction planning. For many organisations, it is the first essential step in building a credible sustainability strategy and understanding where emissions occur across operations, energy use, travel and the wider value chain.

This service is ideal for:

  • Businesses measuring carbon emissions for the first time
  • Organisations needing Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon accounting
  • Companies preparing for ESG, sustainability or annual reporting
  • Suppliers responding to tender and procurement requirements
  • Businesses developing a Carbon Reduction Plan or Net Zero strategy
  • Organisations looking to improve supply chain and Scope 3 visibility

  3. Calculation – we quantify emissions across the relevant scopes using recognised standards

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is carbon accounting, and how is it different from carbon reporting?

Carbon accounting is the process of accurately measuring and calculating your organisation’s greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon reporting is the step that comes afterward, presenting those results in a formal, compliant format. Accounting data accuracy. Reporting = communication of results.

Why does my organisation need carbon accounting?

Carbon accounting provides the verified, reliable data required for ESG reporting, Net Zero planning, supply chain transparency, investor confidence, and UK sustainability regulations.

Do you provide Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon accounting?

Yes. We deliver full Scope 1, 2 and 3 accounting, including activity-level data, supply chain emissions, travel, waste, transport, and other value-chain categories.

What data do we need to provide for the accounting process?

Typically, you will share activity data such as energy use, fuel consumption, business travel, waste, procurement figures, logistics, and other relevant operational data. Our UK analysts guide you through every step.

How accurate are your carbon accounting results?

All calculations follow the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and ISO 14064-1 standards. Emission factors are verified, and all data undergoes manual validation and anomaly checking by accredited analysts.

Does this help us meet UK compliance requirements?

Yes. Carbon accounting provides the foundation needed for SECR, PPN 06/21, Net Zero Strategy alignment, ESG reporting, and tender submissions.

Can you support us with our supply chain and Scope 3 emissions?

Absolutely. We specialise in value-chain accounting, helping you understand upstream and downstream emissions, engage suppliers, and build accurate Scope 3 datasets.

How long does the carbon accounting process take?

Most organisations receive their full accounting outputs within 3–6 weeks, depending on the complexity of your operations and how quickly data is provided.

Will we receive guidance on how to reduce our emissions?

Yes. Alongside accounting outputs, we provide clear insights, reduction opportunities, and strategic recommendations to support Net Zero and ESG goals.

Is the service fully supported by UK-based analysts?

Yes. All carbon accounting is carried out by experienced, UK-based sustainability analysts — no automation or outsourced calculations. Every result is reviewed and verified manually.
