Customer Reviews For Carbon Consulting
What Is Carbon Consulting?
At This Rock Inc., we specialize in helping businesses understand, measure, and reduce their carbon impact. From creating a baseline greenhouse gas inventory to developing reduction roadmaps and supplier engagement, we handle every step to help you reach net-zero with confidence. Here’s how we streamline your path:
1. Baseline Footprinting
We begin by creating a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory. We measure your energy use, fuel consumption, and company transportation to establish a clear baseline understanding of your environmental impact.
2. Hotspot Analysis
Our team evaluates your operations across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to identify the most emission-intensive areas. This pinpoints quick wins and highlights where reduction efforts will yield the highest impact.
3. Target Setting
We establish realistic, science-based goals tailored to your business model. Aligning with recognized frameworks like SBTi, ISO 14064, and CDP ensures credibility and protects against greenwashing.
4. Supplier Decarbonization
Since Scope 3 value chain emissions often make up 70–90% of a company’s total footprint, we build actionable supplier engagement plans to lower emissions across your entire supply chain.
5. Reporting & Verification
We organize your data, analyze results, and build transparent reporting mechanisms. Our specialists ensure your documentation and disclosures are audit-ready for stakeholders, buyers, and regulatory bodies.
6. Continuous Reduction
Reducing carbon is an ongoing business strategy. We support long-term target tracking, operational upgrades, employee training, and credible offsets so you maintain a competitive advantage and lower operational costs.
3 Scopes of Carbon Emissions
Every company’s carbon footprint falls into three distinct categories under the GHG Protocol. We help you identify, calculate, and report across all three levels:
01. Scope 1: Direct Emissions (Company facilities & vehicles)
02. Scope 2: Indirect Emissions (Purchased electricity & heating)
03. Scope 3: Value Chain (Suppliers, travel & product lifecycles)
04. Decarbonization: Actionable reduction strategies
Facing Pressure to Disclose Your Carbon Footprint?
Carbon reduction is no longer optional, it’s a critical business strategy. Buyers, enterprise clients, and investors are increasingly requiring carbon footprint disclosures across supply chains. New expectations are coming from major buyers like Walmart, General Motors, AstraZeneca, Google, and Amazon.
Measuring and lowering your carbon footprint helps your business maintain key contracts, cut energy costs, minimize regulatory risks, and build a lasting competitive advantage.
