Sustainability Audits
Evaluate your company’s environmental footprint and sustainability
practices. We assess your organization’s sustainability initiatives and provide
recommendations for reducing waste, energy consumption, and carbon emissions.
GRI
- A widely recognized framework for sustainability reporting that provides guidelines for reporting ESG information.
SASB Standards
- Industry-specific sustainability accounting standards that are designed for investors.
TCFD
- The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, which guides companies on disclosing climate-related financial risks
CDP
- The Carbon Disclosure Project, which provides an environmental disclosure system for companies to report on climate change, water security, and deforestation
CSRD
- A CSRD audit is an independent review of a company's sustainability report to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed.
- The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a piece of EU legislation that requires companies to undergo these audits to help investors identify sustainable businesses.
SBTi
- The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) provides a service to validate targets set by companies and financial institutions.
- The SBTi also offers guidance and tools to help companies set science-based targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
GHG
- A greenhouse gas (GHG) audit is an assessment of an organization's GHG emissions inventory by an independent third party.
GHG Emissions Reduction Audit
- Emission reduction refers to minimization of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by an individual, organization, or country.
- These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
- It Includes a calculation of GHG emissions reductions in addition to energy and utility cost savings. Focuses on major equipment and all fossil-fuel combustion equipment.
- An exhaustive inventory of all heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment may not be required.
- Includes evaluation of the following GHG emissions reduction strategies: Reduce or eliminate on-site fossil-fuel combustion through electrification and system efficiency improvements.
- Reduce or eliminate fugitive emissions from refrigerants. Install on-site renewable energy sources.
- Results in a long-term plan, with consideration of phased implementation of measures to align with capital planning.
LCA
- LCA stands for Life Cycle Assessment, which is a method for evaluating the environmental impact of a product, material, or process over its entire life cycle. It's also known as a "cradle-to-grave" analysis.
- LCA is used by scientists, policymakers, and business leaders to: Set sustainability goals, Help with process and product design, Help with marketing, Help with thirdparty verification or certification, and Quantify key environmental impacts.
Carbon Footprint Evaluation:
- Calculate and reduce your company’s carbon footprint through sustainable practices and energy-efficient technologies. A scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions audit is a way to categorize and quantify a company's emissions from different sources:
- Scope 1: Emissions from sources the company owns or controls directly, such as burning fuel in vehicles
- Scope 2: Emissions from the production of energy the company purchases and uses, such as electricity for buildings
- Scope 3: Emissions from sources the company is indirectly responsible for, such as buying, using, and disposing of products from suppliers. Scope 3 emissions are often the largest contributor to a company's carbon footprint, accounting for more than 70% in many cases. To calculate a company's total carbon footprint, it's important to consider all three scopes.
- Businesses can use the results of a scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions audit to identify areas for improvement, such as reducing waste, streamlining procurement, or looking for efficiency opportunities. This can help companies reduce their environmental impact and stay ahead of legislative changes.
Waste Management & Resource Efficiency
- Evaluate your waste management systems and suggest improvements for reducing waste and enhancing recycling and resource conservation.
Sustainability Benchmarking
- We assess your company’s sustainability efforts and provide benchmarks against industry standards and best practices.
Green Certifications
- We assist in obtaining certifications like ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), or LEED for buildings, demonstrating your commitment to sustainability
