Organisational Carbon Footprint

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Assessments

A Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions assessment quantifies climate impacts in a systematic and standardised way, providing the foundation for quantification of decarbonisation, climate risk management and informed decision-making.  It supports alignment with evolving requirements, including climate-related financial disclosures (ASRS and AASB S2), Science Based Targets (SBTs) and broader ESG expectations.

Our emissions reporting provides clear insight into value chain emissions and associated impacts, helping organisations identify key hotspots and risks while establishing a strong foundation for future decarbonisation initiatives, reporting obligations and stakeholder requirements.

Scope 1, 2 and 3 Emission Sources

The GHG assessment covers Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, along with all relevant Scope 3 categories across a defined reporting period. Drawing on experience across a range of sectors, our team quantifies emissions across complex supply chains, including through down stream emissions modelling, to develop a comprehensive carbon footprint.

Our reports provide a clear breakdown of emissions across activity sources, detailed insights on high emissions sources, benchmarking and key performance indicators, enabling organisations to monitor performance, meet reporting requirements and identify opportunities for improvement.

Why undertake a GHG Assessment?

• To meet compliance requirements, including the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Scheme, climate-related financial disclosures under ASRS and AASB S2, and the Safeguard Mechanism.
• To meet industry expectations and reporting requirements, including CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project).
• To respond to supply chain, customer or tender requirements.
• To accurately measure, manage and report greenhouse gas emissions.
• To establish emissions reduction targets or develop a pathway to net zero or carbon neutrality.

GHG Reporting Standards Alignment

Our greenhouse gas (GHG) assessments are aligned with relevant Australian and international standards and legislative frameworks:

• GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard: Globally recognised methodology for organisational greenhouse gas accounting.
• ISO 14064-1: Globally recognised framework for organisational greenhouse gas accounting.
• AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures: For eligible Australian entities that must disclose climate-related risks and opportunities.
• National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Scheme: For eligible Australian entities that must report Scope 1and 2 emissions, energy production, and energy consumption above regulated thresholds.
• Climate Active: For organisations, products, services, buildings and events seeking government-backed certification of their emissions reporting.

Specialists in Scope 3 Emissions Accounting and Reporting

Our team has deep experience assessing and quantifying Scope 3 emissions across Australian and global value chains. Often representing the largest share of an organisation’s emissions footprint, Scope 3 emissions are also among the most challenging to measure due to their complexity and reach beyond direct operations. We apply life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies and environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) databases to quantify emissions across value chains, identify key emission hotspots, and focus efforts where they can deliver the greatest impact.

GHG Assessments at the Forefront of Climate Action

In an evolving regulatory and business landscape, robust greenhouse gas (GHG) assessments are no longer optional, they are the basis for informed climate action. By consistently and transparently quantifying emissions, organisations can meet growing regulatory and stakeholder expectations while unlocking pathways to decarbonisation.

In Australia, the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Scheme formalises emissions measurement as a regulatory obligation, while disclosure requirements under AASB S2 are elevating the importance of integrating emissions data into financial reporting. These instruments place high-quality emissions data at the heart of compliance and market trust.

We help organisations turn these requirements into strategic advantage. Our GHG assessments support compliance, enable participation in programs such as Climate Active and CDP, and provide the insights needed to prioritise emissions reduction and manage climate risk with confidence. The result is not just accurate reporting, but a defensible foundation for meaningful climate action.
