When to call

Signals it is time to bring in Higher Impact

A few situations where teams typically reach out.

Customer Carbon Requests

A major customer asks for emissions data, CDP, EcoVadis, or a supplier sustainability response, and your team is not sure where to start.

Scope 3 Complexity

Your company has spend data, supplier data, or partial activity data, but no defensible methodology for turning it into a credible Scope 3 inventory.

Investor or Assurance Pressure

Your PE owner, board, investor, or auditor expects clearer sustainability data, documentation, controls, and reporting readiness.

No Internal Owner

Leadership wants progress, but the sustainability lead is overextended or the work sits across finance, EHS, procurement, facilities, and operations.

What we do

From a credible inventory to a working program

Carbon accounting is often the entry point. Done well, it becomes the foundation for better reporting, supplier engagement, risk management, and decarbonization planning.

Scope 1-3 Carbon Accounting

GHG Protocol-aligned inventories, baselines, annual refreshes, data QA, and documentation.

Scope 2 Market-Based Validation

REC claimability, contractual instrument review, emissions factor hierarchy, market-based methodology, and assurance readiness.

Scope 3 Methodology & Supplier Data

Category prioritization, supplier-informed approaches, hybrid methods, emissions factor strategy, and data quality improvement.

Reporting, Ratings & Disclosure

CDP, EcoVadis, TCFD, ISSB/SASB, CSRD readiness, customer requests, and investor-ready reporting packages.

Net Zero & Reduction Roadmaps

SBTi target setting, net zero transition plans, decarbonization levers, and practical implementation roadmaps.

Embedded execution support for companies that need senior sustainability capacity without hiring a full-time leader.
