Carbon Accounting
A defensible greenhouse gas number, built on a documented boundary, traceable data and a methodology that stays consistent between reporting years.

Carbon & Climate
Measure emissions, understand exposure and establish credible reduction pathways.
Context and capability
The business problem
Most organisations are asked for emissions figures before they have a defensible way of producing them. Data sits across finance, facilities, procurement and operations, methodology is inconsistent between years, and the resulting number cannot survive scrutiny from an auditor, a customer or a bank.
What CER does
CER builds the measurement foundation first: organisational boundary, emissions sources, data collection, calculation methodology and documentation. Once the baseline is reliable, we work on what the organisation can actually change -- reduction levers, sequencing, cost, and the internal ownership needed to deliver them.
Likely outcome
A greenhouse gas inventory the organisation can stand behind, a reduction pathway grounded in its own operations, and documentation that holds up to external review.
// Services
Carbon & Climate services
Most engagements combine several of these. If you are not sure which applies, describe the requirement and we will map it.
GHG Inventory Development
A complete organisational inventory with defined boundaries, documented sources, quality controls and a base year you can report against consistently.
GHG Inventory Development: Explore this service
Scope 1, 2 & 3 Emissions
Complete Scope 1 and 2 measurement, and a Scope 3 programme that starts with screening and prioritisation rather than attempting fifteen categories at once.

ISO 14064 Advisory
Preparation against ISO 14064-1, structured so the resulting GHG assertion can be taken to a verification body without rework.

Decarbonisation & Net-Zero Strategy
Reduction levers assessed against cost, feasibility and impact, sequenced into a roadmap with owners, capital requirements and interim targets.

Life Cycle Assessment
Product-level assessment following ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, from goal and scope definition through inventory analysis, impact assessment and interpretation.

The CER framework
Crystalise
Establish where the organisation actually stands: current position, obligations, exposure and the gaps between them.
- Baseline assessment
- Data and evidence review
- Stakeholder analysis
- Gap assessment
- Regulatory mapping
Economise
Decide where effort and investment should go, so the programme addresses what is material rather than everything at once.
- Materiality assessment
- Prioritisation
- Roadmap development
- Financial assessment
- Target setting
Revitalise
Put the programme into operation, measure it, and build the internal capability to keep it running.
- Implementation support
- Reporting
- Training
- Performance tracking
- Continuous improvement
