Shefa offers a comprehensive approach to sustainability, helping small and medium businesses like yours navigate the complexities of greenhouse gas emissions.
Our expert team provides a complete Scopes 1, 2, and 3 analysis, giving you a clear picture of your current carbon footprint. We then work with you to develop a tailored decarbonization strategy, empowering you to significantly reduce your emissions and achieve your sustainability goals.
Define your boundaries: First, we establish which emissions you'll account for. There are three scopes defined by the GHG Protocol, the most widely used international standard for GHG accounting:
Collect data: Once boundaries are set, we gather data on the activities that generate emissions within those scopes. This might include:
Calculate emissions: Post data collection, we multiply your activity data by the corresponding emission factors to estimate your total GHG emissions via spreadsheets or specialized software.
Report and verify: We prepare reports for your emissions publicly or to stakeholders. Third-party verification can add an an extra layer of credibility to your report.
Conducting GHG accounting for a product involves assessing its emissions throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.
Define the product system: Clearly identify the product to analyze and establish the system boundaries. This includes all stages from "cradle to grave" or "cradle to cradle" depending on whether the product is recycled or reused at the end of its life.
Identify emission sources: Pinpoint all the activities within the product system that generate greenhouse gas emissions. This might include:
Data collection: Gather data on the resources and energy consumed at each stage of the product system. This could involve:
Choose allocation methods: There are different allocation methods, such as economic allocation or physical allocation, depending on the situation.
Apply life cycle inventory (LCI) data: Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) databases provide emission factors that convert your activity data (e.g., amount of materials used) into greenhouse gas emissions like kg or MT of CO2e.
Calculate product footprint: Use the LCI data and allocation methods to calculate the total greenhouse gas footprint of your product across its entire life cycle.
Reporting and improvement: Once you have the results, we will communicate your product's carbon footprint and explore potential areas for reduction throughout the life cycle.
GHG Inventory Assessment: Analyze your current emissions to understand your baseline footprint.
Decarbonization Roadmap: Develop a customized plan with actionable steps to reduce emissions.
