This delivers a comprehensive and robust assessment of the organisation's starting carbon footprint. This will act as the benchmark for all future carbon reduction activity, enabling the organisation to measure the impact of its reduction activity accurately. This enables the organisation to participate in global carbon footprint reporting and public disclosure initiatives. It is the basic point of entry for any organisation wishing to enter the climate change debate.

Contrary to common perception, this does not need to be a long-drawn out and resource-intensive exercise. While exact timings depend on the quality and scope of existing company data, it can often be completed in a matter of weeks, not months.

Our integrated approach ensures that strategy and communications are built into Climate change strategies from the outset, allowing us to deliver real carbon reductions which drive competitive advantage.
