It is a service that covers the strategic planning, implementation and monitoring processes necessary to enable companies to achieve net zero emission targets by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This consultancy provides guidance to companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint, while helping them achieve their sustainability goals and comply with regulatory requirements.
Services Provided within the Scope of Net Zero and Carbon Reduction:
1. Preliminary Evaluation and Preparation
- Current Situation Analysis: We analyze the company’s current carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. This analysis covers carbon emissions from the company’s operations, supply chain and other related activities.
- Gap Analysis: We identify gaps between current carbon management processes and the steps required to achieve net zero targets. This helps identify areas that are missing or need improvement.
- Stakeholder Analysis: We identify the company’s internal and external stakeholders and analyze their expectations on net zero targets. This makes strategic planning more effective.
2. Carbon Footprint Calculation and Data Collection
- Identification of Emission Sources: We identify all sources of emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3) from your company’s activities. This covers areas such as energy use, transportation, waste management, supply chain.
- Data Collection: We collect energy consumption, fuel use, logistics activities and other relevant data required for carbon footprint calculation. This data forms the basis for carbon reduction strategies.
- Emission Calculation: Based on the data collected, we calculate your company’s carbon footprint. This calculation expresses greenhouse gas emissions in CO2 equivalents (CO2e) and is done in accordance with internationally recognized methodologies (e.g. GHG Protocol, ISO 14064).

5. Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
- Performance Monitoring: We establish regular monitoring processes to track the effectiveness of carbon reduction strategies and assess how close we are to net zero targets.
- Reporting and Transparency: We transparently report the achievements and developments in the carbon reduction process to stakeholders. These reports are prepared in accordance with international standards (e.g. GHG Protocol) and demonstrate the company’s environmental performance.
- Improvement Suggestions: We provide regular feedback and analysis to ensure continuous improvement in carbon reduction processes. This contributes to the company’s environmental performance becoming more effective over time.
6. Regulatory Compliance and Reporting
- Legal Requirements: We help the company comply with legal requirements for carbon emissions. This includes aligning emissions reporting and mitigation strategies with regulatory requirements.
- International Reporting Commitments: We ensure that the company reports its emissions in line with international climate change agreements and commitments. This includes reporting to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and similar platforms.
7. Stakeholder Communication and Transparency
- Transparent Reporting: We help the company transparently present its net zero strategy and carbon reduction achievements to stakeholders. These reports increase the company’s environmental responsibility and sustainability commitments in the eyes of investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders.
- Stakeholder Communication Strategy: We develop strategies to effectively communicate the carbon reduction report to stakeholders. This ensures that the report is understandable, engaging and valuable to relevant stakeholders.
