TARGET CUSTOMERS

Why carbon footprinting and climate adaptation are now a business priority

Managing climate risks and emissions is no longer optional. Stakeholders increasingly demand measurable actions on carbon reduction, driven by:

  • Regulations that require stringent GHG disclosure and mitigation plans.
  • Procurement processes that reward verified carbon footprints.
  • Clients demanding climate-aligned supplier credentials.
  • Sustainability reporting obligations in ESG indices and frameworks.
  • Eligibility for climate finance instruments such as green bonds or climate-linked funds.
KEY CUSTOMER BENEFITS

Business impact of carbon strategies and environmental performance insights

Our carbon management consulting drives more than compliance—it brings strategic visibility into emissions and empowers informed decision-making. We help clients:

  • Identify key emission sources to target in decarbonization roadmaps and neutrality plans.
  • Quantify environmental gains from measures like remote work, travel optimization, or site upgrades.
  • Understand emissions impacts from procurement and waste strategies to inform ESG procurement decisions.
  • Optimize logistics to reduce carbon intensity through fleet, route, or load improvements.
  • Estimate the carbon and financial impact of improving product/service design.
