carbon footprint assessments

Businesses are increasingly being asked to reduce their carbon footprint, but before you can even think about reducing and offsetting your footprint, you need to know and understand your baseline position. Government strategy is a key driver for reducing carbon emissions and the Climate Change Act will undoubtedly affect your business in the future.

ECUS has experience in carrying out carbon footprint assessments for companies from both the private and public sectors. Using established methodologies, ECUS has carried out assessments for a number of organisations. Our services include:

• Determining the scope of the carbon footprint
• Data collation - overcoming barriers to the availability of data
• Development of bespoke emissions calculator in line with DEFRA's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Protocol and the Carbon Trust Standard
• Provision of assessment reports
• Carbon management plans
• Training and carbon workshops

What our clients say...

"The carbon footprint support delivered by ECUS has been second to none. The needs of the business were fully understood enabling us to produce a meaningful carbon management plan based on the carbon footprint assessment and calculations. This has enabled us to integrate a low carbon strategy into the company's environmental management system, thereby reducing impact from the business to the environment."
