This yields reliable emissions data for strategic planning, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder communication on sustainability performance.
ISO 14067
ISO 14067 outlines the principles, requirements, and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of products, aiming to provide a consistent and accurate assessment throughout the life cycle of a product. We use ISO 14067 to conduct detailed carbon footprint assessments across the supply chain, aiding clients in understanding and mitigating their environmental impacts. These reports support sustainable product development, promotion, marketing, and the achievement of environmental goals for the organisation.

This provides holistic insights into product sustainability, informing eco-design, sustainable sourcing, and strategic decisions to minimize environmental impact.
SASB
SASB creates sustainability accounting standards to help public companies disclose material, decision-useful information for investors. These standards focus on financially material sustainability data across industries, aiding investors in making informed decisions.
