The first step in understanding and reducing the client’s impact is to calculate their carbon footprint. After all, “what cannot be measured, cannot be reduced”.
The first step was to understand the boundary of the CCF and also whether they wanted to include Scope 3 emissions. Since this was the first time that the client had undertaken such an exercise, they decided to only look at their Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
It was also made clear that the client wanted the CCF verified by an Independent third party audit firm. As such, we had that in the forefront of our minds when undertaking the project.
