Carbon Footprint Analysis 

Our Solution Explained: 

Carbon Footprint Analysis provided by OpsConsul is a systematic assessment aimed at quantifying the total greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) produced directly and indirectly by an organisation, product, or service. This analysis serves as a crucial tool for understanding an entity’s impact on climate change and identifying opportunities for emissions reduction.

The process begins with data collection, where we gather information on various activities and operations, including energy consumption, transportation, waste generation, and material usage. This data is then used to calculate the carbon emissions associated with each activity, typically expressed in terms of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e).

OpsConsul often utilises established methodologies, such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol or ISO 14064 standards, to ensure the analysis is accurate and comprehensive. The analysis is usually divided into three scopes:

1.  Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, such as fuel combustion in company vehicles and facilities.

2.  Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, or steam consumed by the organisation.

3.  Scope 3: Indirect emissions from sources not owned or controlled by the organisation, including supply chain activities, product use, and end-of-life disposal.

After completing the analysis, we provide a detailed report outlining the findings, including the main sources of emissions and the overall carbon footprint. This report often includes recommendations on how to reduce emissions, such as improving energy efficiency, transitioning to renewable energy sources, enhancing waste management practices, and engaging in sustainable procurement strategies.

In addition to helping you understand your carbon footprint, OpsConsul support the development of carbon reduction strategies and targets, aiding in the creation of a sustainability roadmap. By organising carbon footprint analysis, you can take informed actions to mitigate your environmental impact, respond to regulatory requirements, and enhance your reputation among stakeholders as a responsible and sustainable entity.
