Company GHG inventory
Measure direct sources, purchased energy and value-chain emissions with data ownership, baseline and performance dashboard.
From emissions data to design and delivery decisions
CFP, GHG and embodied carbon for companies, design and construction
We develop traceable carbon footprints for companies, projects and products, identify GHG sources and hotspots, then integrate embodied carbon into design-option comparison, specifications, procurement and construction and as-built reporting.
CFP • GHG • Embodied CarbonCompanies • Design • ConstructionClear data, method and boundaries
Three connected pathways
One service connecting company, project and product
We select boundaries and methods around the decision while maintaining clear separation that prevents confusion or double counting between corporate, project and product footprints.
Project and product CFP
Calculate a footprint with a clear boundary and functional or reference unit for comparison, communication and decisions.
Embodied carbon in design
Use quantities, materials, options and product data to identify hotspots and set a carbon budget and design review gates.
Carbon during construction
Connect procurement, supply, transport, equipment, energy, changes and records with construction and as-built calculations.
Problems we solve
When carbon numbers lack boundaries, evidence or influence on decisions
We connect every result with scope, data source, emission factor, assumption and owner, then convert hotspots into deliverable reduction options.
Unclear or changing boundaries
Included entities, sites, stages and sources are uncertain, weakening comparison and performance tracking.
Dispersed, low-quality data
Energy, fuel, procurement, material, transport and waste data sit across systems and parties without common definitions or ownership.
Undocumented factors and assumptions
Emission factors or proxies are used without a controlled record of source, year, unit, conversion and quality.
Embodied carbon is calculated too late
Analysis begins after materials and quantities are fixed, missing opportunities to influence design, specifications and procurement.
Design-to-construction gap
Calculations are not updated for changes, suppliers, actual quantities, transport, energy and equipment during construction.
Reduction or neutrality claims without foundation
Percentages or claims may not align with baseline, boundaries, method, evidence and the role of offsets where relevant.
Scope of work
From boundary definition to footprint, reduction roadmap and handover
Scope is shaped around the client decision: company performance, design comparison, material choice, tender, sustainability report or project handover.

Delivery process
Seven stages from the carbon question to decision and reduction
Define purpose and decision
Confirm footprint type, audience, boundaries, period, unit and accuracy level.
Map sources and data
Identify activities, materials, stages, categories, systems and data-owning parties.
Collect and validate
Standardise units and check completeness, periods, invoices, quantities, evidence and gaps.
Calculate and document
Apply factors and equations and record sources, assumptions, exclusions and data quality.
Analyse and compare
Identify hotspots, trends, sensitivity and design, material and construction options.
Reduce and integrate
Develop initiatives, owners, indicators and design, procurement and construction requirements.
Report and hand over
Issue results and evidence pack, hand over update tools and support separate independent review or verification if requested.
Engagement models
A pathway for a company, project or design decision
Corporate GHG inventory
A company, group or multi-site footprint with baseline, categories, indicators and reduction roadmap.
Project or product CFP

Delivery network
Success partners for specialist data and independent verification
Where needed, we coordinate data providers, laboratories, material and life-cycle specialists and qualified providers, while independent verification or assurance is delivered by a separate party agreed by the client.
Saudi Arabia
Where required, we collaborate with specialist providers listed among the environmental service agencies qualified by the National Center for Environmental Compliance, subject to qualification field and project requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Important answers before a CFP, GHG or embodied-carbon assessment
What is the difference between CFP, GHG inventory and embodied carbon?
CFP describes a carbon footprint within defined boundaries for a company, project or product according to its purpose; a GHG inventory organises emission sources and categories; embodied carbon focuses on material, product and construction impacts across agreed stages.
What do Scope 1, 2 and 3 mean?
They organise emissions into direct sources owned or controlled by the organisation, purchased energy and other value-chain emissions according to applicable boundaries and categories.
What company data is needed?
It commonly includes fuel, electricity, energy, vehicles, refrigeration, procurement, transport, travel and waste according to applicable categories and company boundaries.
How does embodied carbon connect with design?
Design quantities, materials and systems are used to compare options, identify hotspots and establish a carbon budget, with calculations updated at design-development gates.
Can work begin before complete product data is available?
Yes. Documented proxy data can support early stages with quality and uncertainty stated, then be replaced with better supplier or product data during procurement.
Does the assessment include construction?
It can include transport, equipment, energy, water, temporary materials, waste and change according to project boundaries and available data.
How is double counting between company and project footprints prevented?
We fix the purpose and boundaries of each calculation, map company, project and supplier relationships and periods, and document use so incompatible results are not combined.
Are results automatically verified or certified?
No. We prepare and review the calculation, method and evidence. Separate independent verification can be supported if required.
Can you help reduce emissions after calculation?
Yes. We identify hotspots, compare options and build a reduction roadmap connected with design, procurement, operation, ownership and indicators.
How are duration and fees determined?
They depend on footprint type, boundaries, period, site or product count, material-detail level, data quality, comparisons and reporting. A clear scope and fee are then provided.
Do you need a carbon footprint supporting a company, design or construction decision?
Share the calculation type, boundary, stage and available data, and we will suggest a practical method and scope.
