The challenge is that there are hundreds of assessments available. That’s why we created the free Simple Sustainability Assessment that can get you started. We also offer a more comprehensive Sustainability Assessment that also includes a Sustainability Assessment Report, as well as your contribution to the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. Finally, if your company is ready, we can also help your company achieve B-Corp Certification.

Carbon Management Services
By executing our carbon management strategies, organizations can effectively measure, monitor, and reduce their carbon footprint, contributing to the fight against climate change. Our Carbon Management Services involve the implementation of energy efficiency measures, adoption of renewable energy sources, and the use of carbon offset projects to compensate for unavoidable emissions across your operations and entire value chain. Additionally, we are proud to be a member of Climate Neutral’s Service Provider Network for those companies seeking certification.
Learn more about our Carbon Management Services below:
The first step in measuring your company’s carbon footprint is to conduct a Greenhouse Gas Inventory. A greenhouse gas inventory is a list of emission sources and the associated emissions quantified using standardized methods.
Next, we measure your company’s Scope 1, 2 & 3 Carbon Footprint and provide strategies that reduce your footprint, which is one of the most critical actions businesses can take because according to the IPCC, we must halve global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 to avoid catastrophic effects of climate change; but you can’t manage what you are not measuring.
Finally, we deliver a Climate Action Plan that includes setting Science-Based Targets, and pathways to achieve Carbon Neutrality or Net-Zero Emissions. Additionally, we help our clients respond and submit to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), or if interested, become Climate Neutral Certified.
Small-to-medium (SME) sized businesses who want to demonstrate their leadership will, at a minimum, commit to Carbon Neutrality. Carbon Neutrality means annual zero net human-caused GHG emissions by a certain date. “By definition, carbon neutrality means every ton of anthropogenic CO emitted is compensate with an equivalent amount of CO2 removed,” according the World Resources Institute.
The steps to achieve carbon neutrality are pretty straight forward:
- Measure your Scope 1, 2 & 3 GHG emissions.
- Set Science-Based Targets for Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions.
- Reduce Scope 1 & 2 emissions..
- Purchase carbon offsets for Scop 1, 2 & 3 emissions.
- Communicate your results.
We are proud to have helped multiple SME’s achieve Carbon Neutrality, including: RepYourWater, Bajio Sunglasses and others.
According to the World Resources Institute, “the latest climate science is clear: Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F) is still possible. But to avoid the worst climate impacts, global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will need to drop by half by 2030 and reach net-zero around mid-century. Net-zero emissions will be achieved when all GHG emissions released by human activities are counterbalanced by removing GHGs from the atmosphere in a process known as carbon removal.”
The steps to achieve net zero emissions are:
- Measure your Scope 1, 2 & 3 GHG emissions.
- Set Science-Based Targets for the short-term and long-term for Scope 1, 2 & 3 GHG emissions.
- Rapidly reduce Scope 1, 2 & 3 GHG emissions via efficiency, renewable energy and supply chain engagement.
- Finance climate action for unavoidable emissions.
- Engage stakeholder by communicating your results annually.
