The Carbon Report is a carbon consultancy with a wealth of experience in the carbon management and reporting market. We have been assisting clients since 2009 and provide the skills, expertise and tools to enable our customers to measure and manage their carbon emissions with the ultimate aim of reducing their environmental footprint. Through consulting, education and partnering we furnish the required guidance for our customers to embrace the low carbon economy and derive the value realised from sustainable business practice. The Carbon Report is a division of sustainableIT, a progressive IT and services based company specialising in carbon reduction through the application of smart technology. A carbon footprint is the calculation of the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by your organisation or company. This is typically calculated and reported over a period of 12 months. Measuring and reporting your carbon emissions is for many a daunting and complex process. It requires the right skills, expertise and time, all of which come at significant cost if sourced internally. Furthermore, interpreting your business data and applying the correct emissions factors to calculate your footprint requires a thorough understanding of carbon footprint accounting, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO 14064-1 or other carbon reporting standard. The Carbon Report leverages internally developed technology to help organisations of varying complexity report and manage their carbon footprint. We identify all sources of emissions data relevant to the footprint. Ultimately we produce a report which can be used for engagement with relevant stakeholders. We believe passionately that understanding your carbon footprint is the first step on the road to sustainability. Your carbon footprint is the starting point for an emissions reduction plan which in turn will lead to bottom line cost reductions. Measuring your carbon footprint is an important first step in embarking upon a low carbon strategy. It acts as a baseline or yardstick from which to measure the success of your carbon and energy reduction initiatives. With pending carbon tax, procurement pressures and increasing tender requirements, quantifying your carbon footprint is a must for progressive organisations. Based on our knowledge of your footprint, we are also able to provide services in assisting you with your voluntary and/or regulatory reporting requirements. The Carbon Report consultants have the tools and expertise to help you build and report your company’s carbon footprint.
