Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Measure and Manage Your Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Today’s businesses are expected to take meaningful action on climate change, but any successful initiative starts with a baseline. Measuring your GHG emissions footprint is a critical step to mitigating your climate impact and meeting the ever-increasing demands of consumers, investors, and regulators alike.
Our team has conducted verifiable GHG inventories across a wide variety of industries, from financial services to retail. Using a tailored approach and our own proprietary tool for calculating emissions, we’ll help you get real, quantitative data on your company’s GHG emissions impact and uncover opportunities for reduction.

Scopes 1, 2, and 3 Explained
Did you know that 80-90% of your greenhouse gas emissions are found outside your own four walls? At SBC, we follow methodology developed by WRI’s industry leading GHG Protocol, which categorizes emissions into three “scopes.”
Scope 1
Emissions from sources you own or operate, such as buildings and fleet vehicles
Scope 2
Emissions from energy you purchase to operate, such as electricity
Scope 3
Emissions from activities you don’t directly own, such as business travel and supply chain
