Organisational GHG Assurance
What is a GHG Audit and Why is it Essential?
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gases that trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and influencing Earth’s climate. While GHGs are essential for maintaining the planet’s temperature at a habitable level, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, have significantly increased their concentration in the atmosphere.
Various Governments and International organizations like the United Nations, and global initiatives are increasingly urging businesses to demonstrate their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This call to action reflects a global consensus on the urgent need to address climate change and transition to a low carbon economy.
What businesses can do?
Businesses can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by adopting energy-efficient practices, investing in renewable energy sources, optimizing supply chains, promoting sustainable behaviours, setting emission reduction targets, engaging stakeholders, offsetting carbon footprints, advocating for supportive policies, and transparently reporting sustainability efforts. Through these actions, businesses can help mitigate climate change and build a more sustainable future.
Why are GHG audits required?
GHG Audits help businesses understand and manage their greenhouse gas emissions by measuring how much they’re emitting and from where. By identifying areas with high emissions, setting goals to reduce them, and keeping track of progress, audits guide companies in becoming more eco-friendly.
Organization Levels of GHG Audits
Organization Level GHG Audit: This audit assesses the overall greenhouse gas emissions of an organization, including emissions from direct activities (Scope 1), energy consumption (Scope 2), and indirect sources such as supply chain and transportation (Scope 3). Our comprehensive analysis provides organizations with a holistic view of their carbon footprint, enabling them to set emission reduction targets and implement sustainability initiatives.
