Measure, Manage, Minimise
Identifying emissions within a company and understanding how to take the right action to manage them is critical.
Carbon Planet's specialist audit and advisory team, led by qualified scientists, uses the most up-to-date science to:
- measure and build knowledge about an organisation's overall emissions,
- identify ways to reduce carbon liability, save money and,
- develop profitable strategies to manage carbon exposure.
Carbon Planet's three step strategy to carbon management is tailored to suit the specific, individual needs of each business.
Step 1: Measure - GHG Emission Assessment
Our researchers will assess your organisation and calculate the greenhouse emissions associated with each applicable activity. The assessment provides a clear understanding of your carbon footprint and is the first step in understanding your company's exposure to any compliance or supply chain obligations.
Deliverables
- GHG Protocol compliant Emissions Assessment Report harmonised with ISO14064-1
- Volumes of greenhouse gas emissions calculated as tonnes of CO2 equivalent (CO2e)
- Compliance Reporting verification
- Summary recommendations
Step 2: Manage - Risk and Management Planning
Using the results and findings from the Stage 1 GHG assessment, Carbon Planet will develop a comprehensive carbon management plan. This analysis and strategy report will provide insights into the risks associated with carbon exposure, available risk mitigation strategies and commercial opportunities. It will guide you on how to realise the marketplace opportunities available to proactive companies that adopt responsible carbon management programs.
Deliverables
- Carbon Management Plan Report
- Carbon Risk Analysis - 360 degree exposure review
- Carbon commercialisation strategy
- Carbon communication strategy
Step 3: Minimise - Energy Audit and Education Services
This stage combines a Level 1 Energy Audit and staff training and will provide a breakdown of energy usage across your organisation and identify opportunities for your energy consumption and carbon emissions to be reduced. Carbon Planet's reduction strategies include recommendations for reducing your emissions through simple, commercially prudent behavioural and structural changes that mitigate future carbon liability and reduce energy expenditure.
Deliverables
- Level 1 Energy Audit Report
- Management and Staff training programs
- Emission and energy reduction recommendations
- Referrals to specialist service providers - engineering and advisory
