Greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory development and assistance with management of other environmental data such as water and waste. These metrics, once developed, are available for clients as needed for internal or publicly available ESG reporting. Our GHG inventory process is aligned with the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and will help clients tackle Scope 1,2 and complex Scope 3 emissions. 

We assist clients with setting ambitious and meaningful environmental targets, as well as set out a roadmap and clear strategy for how to get there. ESG targets, particularly those around emissions, are a key focus for investors and other stakeholders as they represent a company’s commitment to helping the world limit global warming. It is no longer enough for a company to simply set targets; investors and other stakeholders are increasingly looking for emissions targets, in particular, to be more rigorous, aligned to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and/or in line with becoming net-zero. 

We provide climate-related risk assessments, helping businesses understand potential challenges on the horizon. Climate-related scenario analysis is becoming increasingly seen by shareholders as a critical step for companies incorporating climate-related risks and opportunities into their business strategies. 

The Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework recommends companies assess the resilience of their business strategies, taking into consideration different climate-related scenarios, and evaluating the associated physical and transition risks and/or opportunities these scenarios may present.
