Expert Carbon Footprint Solutions

Comprehensive GHG accounting, LCA, and EPD services tailored to empower your business with actionable environmental insights and credible reporting.

GHG Accounting

Our robust GHG accounting brings many benefits for companies. The benefits include enabling companies to meet regulatory requirements and prepare for future carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems, reducing emissions by identifying carbon hotspots, reducing operational costs through optimizing energy efficiency (e.g., better HVAC systems, LED lighting, etc.), optimizing supply chains by understanding supplier emissions and shifting to more efficient lower-carbon suppliers, competitive advantage over competitors, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting, and avoiding greenwashing. In addition, our rigorous GHG accounting enables companies to low-carbon transition and map out a realistic, data-driven journey towards net-zero emissions.

Our GHG accounting services include:

  • GHG emissions reporting (compliance and OBPS (output-based pricing system) reporting) to federal (Greenhouse gas reporting program (GHGRP)) and provincial reporting systems)
  • GHG emissions verification
  • GHG emissions inventory quantification and Scopes 1, 2 and 3 reporting
  • GHG emissions reduction and offsetting
  • Quantification of product carbon footprint
  • GHG hotspots analysis and providing strategies for making improvements with respect to energy and material inputs and processes.
  • Third party review

Conducting life cycle assessments (LCA)

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides a rigorous scientific evaluation of a product's environmental impact, from raw material extraction (cradle) to disposal (grave). LCA enables manufacturers to identify environmental hotspots and reduce environmental impacts of products and enhance brand reputation by preventing "greenwashing".

We provide LCA services to all industrial sectors, including construction, pulp, paper, and bioproducts, energy (electricity, natural gas, bioenergy, combined heat and power), transportation sectors, and electronics.

Our LCA Services Include:

  • GHG emissions reporting (compliance and OBPS (output-based pricing system) reporting) to federal (Greenhouse gas reporting program (GHGRP)) and provincial reporting systems)
  • GHG emissions verification
  • GHG emissions inventory quantification and Scopes 1, 2 and 3 reporting
  • GHG emissions reduction and offsetting
  • Quantification of product carbon footprint
  • GHG hotspots analysis and providing strategies for making improvements withrespect to energy and material inputs and processes.
  • Third party review

Key benefits of conducting LCA

  • Reduction of environmental impacts: LCA can identify significant stages in a product's life and energy and material inputs to manufacturing process (hotspots) where environmental improvements can be made.

  • Cost Savings and improving efficiency: businesses can use LCA to identify inefficiencies in production and material use and reduce waste and lower operational costs.

  • Sustainable Product Design (Ecodesign): using LCA, alternative materials or production methods can be compared in producing more sustainable and recyclable products, fostering innovation.

  • Building brand reputation: LCA provides data-driven transparent evidence of a product's environmental impacts for strengthening stakeholder relationships and appealing to eco-friendly consumers.

Environmental product declarations

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide transparent, third-party verified, and standardized data on a product's environmental impacts throughout its life cycle. EPDs are summary reports of environmental impacts calculated using LCA and used for environmental impact for business-to business, or business-to-consumers communications.

Decarb LCA provides strategic directions for businesses for communicating environmental impacts calculated using country or regional specific methodologies for expanding markets in the countries and/or regions they are interested in.

Our EPD Services Include:

  • Developing EPDs and registering with recognized EPD program operators
  • EPD verification

Carbon credits and offsetting

Carbon offsets and credits are market-based tools used to reduce GHG emissions. Credits are reductions of GHGs released into the atmosphere and are typically used in regulated compliance markets. Conversely, offsets are used in voluntary markets by companies to compensate for their own GHG emissions to claim carbon neutrality.

Our carbon credits and offsetting services include:

  • Emission offset project development
  • Assisting with carbon credit purchase and cost evaluation
  • Verification - independent third-party validation and verification of reductions
