Carbon management
1. Brief service summary
Structure information needed to understand and monitor greenhouse gas emissions within a defined scope. The engagement emphasizes traceability of data, assumptions and calculations to make results interpretable and their limitations visible to decision-makers.
2. Your needs
You have consumption, purchasing or activity data spread across several sources, but their use for a carbon inventory remains uncertain. Scopes differ, some information is missing and previous figures are difficult to explain. You wish to organize a consistent basis before setting objectives or communicating results.
3. Objectives of the engagement
Define the purpose of the work, organize collection and make the selected methodology explicit. This involves distinguishing measured data, estimates and extrapolations, then documenting uncertainties. The approach prepares monitoring comparable over time, with revision rules when activity, sources or scope change.
4. Indicative scope
According to confirmed expertise and data, the engagement may cover inventory scoping, identification of emission categories, collection, consistency review and documentation of calculations. Factors used, their sources and versions are identified. Exclusions and breaks in comparability are made explicit; an initial estimate is not an exhaustive measurement of the entire value chain.
5. Possible delivery arrangements
Scoping workshops, questionnaire preparation and exchanges with data holders may be combined. Any calculations require an agreed method and verified expertise. A presentation of findings allows information quality to be discussed and collection improvements defined before a subsequent monitoring cycle.
6. Possible deliverables
As agreed: a methodology note, a collection matrix, an assumptions register, a documented inventory and a data improvement plan. A summary may present major emission categories and interpretation limitations. Any independent verification or public use of results requires separate scoping; deliverables remain indicative.
7. Conditions and limitations
This service constitutes neither certification, carbon credit validation nor a neutrality declaration. Action pathways fall under 14.04; broader ESG reporting under 14.08. No emissions level or regulatory compliance is guaranteed. Methods and sources must suit the engagement's actual purpose.
