Plan for Zero:

Carbon Footprinting.

Any climate strategy starts by calculating a carbon footprint to understand your organisation’s climate impact and to focus your emissions reduction initiatives.

A carbon footprint is a calculation of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Your footprint will be the baseline against which you track your future climate progress. It will also enable you to understand your full impact across all Scopes of your organisation, which will be vital for your sustainability reporting and essential to achieving Net Zero.

Your carbon footprint should be compliant with an internationally recognised standard for GHG calculation such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol or ISO 14064. These frameworks ensure that we are all reporting in a standardised manner and that your footprint meets internationally agreed requirements.

Many companies find that the majority of emissions lie beyond their direct control and within Scope 3 (this will include your supply chain, your business travel and/or potentially your investment portfolio). At EcoAct, we can help you to overcome the challenges of carbon footprint calculation to help you gain a robust and credible carbon footprint.

How we can help with

carbon footprinting.

Whatever you are looking for from a footprinting services, we can design a solution suitable to your needs.

  • Organisational footprint

    This service will help you to understand the sources of carbon across your company’s full operations, including energy use by your offices, processes and business travel.

    We can also help you with a value chain strategy in order to gather the data and calculate a Scope 3 carbon footprint.

  • Product footprint

    We look at the carbon embedded in different stages of a product's life on a ‘cradle to gate’ or ‘cradle to grave’ basis, including the impact of the supply chain, materials, manufacture, installation and disposal of the product. Our product footprint service will help you to identify the appropriate product footprint standard to use (e.g. PAS 2050), the scope for data collection, assist in data collection and conversion to carbon equivalencies.

    We also help companies to undertake Life Cycle Assessments of certain products and services to inform design and innovation.
