  • A range of services that measure the entire value chain footprint of an organisation and even whole industries. 

 

How we can help

Footprint measurement and analysis

We can develop a certifiable organisational or product footprint for your organisation. This can help boost sales, enhance your corporate brand and identify cost savings and product-development opportunities.

Our value-chain footprinting can be tailored to support the needs of your specific organisation. We develop certifiable footprinting models that are aligned to GHG protocol and PAS 2050, and analyse the data to pinpoint opportunities for your business. We also assess value-chain carbon footprints to identify broader risks and business opportunities around international markets, pricing strategies and entry points for new products and services.  

Software solutions

Our Footprint Expert tool produces fast, reliable and certifiable carbon footprint measurements for products and services. It provides insights into a product's lifecycle and emissions, unlocking opportunities to reduce its environmental impact through eco-design, operational efficiency, working with suppliers and raising consumer awareness.  The tool leverages the knowledge of the Carbon Trust to reduce both the time taken and cost of calculating the carbon footprint.

Footprint Expert has been designed to comply with the recognised global standard for product carbon footprinting, PAS2050.  Footprint Expert has been used by many leading companies such as Dyson, Pepsico, Coca-Cola, Tesco and Marks & Spencer.

If you would like to calculate the carbon footprint of your products or services, we can provide step-by-step training to help you get started.
