Customer Reviews For Decarbonization Consulting
What Is Decarbonization Consulting?
At This Rock Inc., we help businesses understand their emissions, identify opportunities to reduce them, and develop practical decarbonization strategies. From establishing your emissions baseline to implementing reduction initiatives, we provide the expertise and roadmap needed to make meaningful progress toward your climate goals.
1. Emissions Baseline
We start by establishing a clear picture of your greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3. This baseline helps identify where your emissions come from and creates a foundation for your decarbonization strategy.
2. Emissions & Hotspot Analysis
We analyze your emissions data to identify the activities, operations, and value chain areas contributing most to your carbon footprint. These hotspots help us determine where reduction efforts can have the greatest impact.
3. Decarbonization Strategy
We develop a practical decarbonization strategy based on your emissions profile, business priorities, and climate goals. Your strategy outlines the actions and opportunities that can move your business toward lower emissions.
4. Reduction Roadmap
We turn your strategy into an actionable roadmap with prioritized initiatives, timelines, and measurable targets. This gives your team a clear path for implementing emissions reduction opportunities.
5. Implementation Support
Our consultants can support your team as you put your decarbonization plan into action. From evaluating reduction opportunities to supporting internal teams and suppliers, we help turn your strategy into measurable progress.
6. Measure & Improve
Decarbonization is an ongoing process. We help you track emissions, measure progress against your targets, and identify opportunities to continuously improve your reduction strategy over time.
Understanding the 3 Scopes of Carbon Emissions
Your business’s carbon footprint is made up of emissions across three scopes defined by the GHG Protocol. Understanding where your emissions come from is the first step toward developing an effective decarbonization strategy.
01. Scope 1: Direct Emissions
Emissions from sources your business owns or controls, including company facilities, equipment, and vehicles.
02. Scope 2: Purchased Energy
Indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity, heating, cooling, and other forms of energy.
03. Scope 3: Value Chain Emissions
Indirect emissions across your value chain, including suppliers, business travel, transportation, and product lifecycles.
04. Decarbonization: Reduce What Matters
Use your emissions data to identify the highest-impact reduction opportunities and build an actionable strategy for lowering emissions.
Ready to Move From Measuring Emissions to Reducing Them?
Measuring your carbon footprint is only the starting point. Businesses are increasingly expected to understand their emissions, respond to customer and stakeholder expectations, and demonstrate meaningful progress toward reducing their environmental impact.
A clear decarbonization strategy helps you turn emissions data into action, from identifying high-impact reduction opportunities to prioritizing initiatives that can support your long-term climate goals.

Do These Decarbonization Challenges Sound Familiar?
Don’t Know Where to Start
“We know we need to reduce our emissions, but we don’t have a clear strategy or roadmap for where to begin.”
“We have measured our footprint, but we don’t know which reduction opportunities should come first.”
Limited Internal Resources
“We don’t have a dedicated team with the expertise to develop and manage a decarbonization strategy.”
“Our sustainability team is already stretched thin and needs experienced consultants to help move the work forward.”
Unsure Which Strategies Will Have the Biggest Impact
“There are so many ways to reduce emissions, but we don’t know which initiatives make the most sense for our business.”
“We need to prioritize practical actions instead of pursuing sustainability projects without a clear impact.”
No Clear Decarbonization Roadmap
“We have emissions data and climate goals, but we don’t have a clear plan for turning them into measurable reductions.”
“We need realistic targets, priorities, and timelines that our team can actually implement.”
Struggling With Scope 3 Emissions
“Our supply chain represents a significant portion of our footprint, but reducing Scope 3 emissions feels overwhelming.”
“We need a practical approach to working with suppliers and addressing value chain emissions.”
Need to Turn Climate Goals Into Action
“We have committed to reducing emissions, but now we need to translate those commitments into concrete business decisions.”
“We need support implementing our strategy and tracking whether we’re actually making progress.”
If these challenges sound familiar, we’re here to help. Our decarbonization consultants can help you move from emissions measurement to action, identifying reduction opportunities, prioritizing the right strategies, and building a practical roadmap for lowering your business’s carbon footprint.
Choosing the Right Decarbonization Consulting Partner
The right decarbonization consultant should do more than help you measure emissions. Look for a partner who can turn your emissions data into a practical reduction strategy that fits your business, operations, and long-term goals.
Decarbonization Experience: Look for a consultant with experience developing practical emissions reduction strategies and helping businesses move from carbon measurement to action.
Customized Approach: Every business has different emissions sources, operations, and reduction opportunities. Choose a partner who can build a strategy around your specific business rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
GHG & Emissions Expertise: Your consultant should understand Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and know how to use your carbon footprint data to identify meaningful reduction opportunities.
Actionable Strategies: A strong consulting partner should help you prioritize realistic initiatives, establish a roadmap, and determine where your business can make measurable progress.
Industry & Supply Chain Understanding: If Scope 3 represents a significant part of your footprint, look for a partner who can help you understand value chain emissions and identify opportunities to work with suppliers.
Ongoing Support: Decarbonization is an ongoing process. Choose a consultant who can help you track progress, refine your strategy, and adapt your reduction plan as your business evolves.
