Carbon Accounting

Carbon Accounting is essential for calculating the carbon footprint of a site, asset group, or entire supply chain, offering numerous benefits. These include cost savings, reduced environmental impact, compliance with regulations, reputation management, and performance measurement.

Cress can evaluate your carbon footprint, working with you to find cost-effective ways to reduce emissions, achieve carbon-neutral certification, or navigate carbon offsets.

Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions calculation

Understanding your carbon emissions footprint is becoming par for the course throughout sustainable commerce. Cress delivers expert emissions boundary scoping and accurate greenhouse gas quantification across industries. We ensure precise calculations for both internal strategy and public emissions disclosure.

Carbon reduction strategy

Setting targets towards net zero emissions is an excellent way to both cut costs and display to stakeholders that your business is committed to its sustainability vision. Cress helps clients identify emissions hotspots, choose the right reduction technologies or pathways, and design strategies to make tangible reductions in emissions.

Abatement opportunities and pathways to emissions reduction

Cress can help to find the lowest cost carbon abatement opportunities and identify pathways to reduce carbon emissions over an appropriate timeframe. Refer to our Carbon Accounting services section for more information on our range of related services.

Carbon certifications

Achieving carbon-neutral certification is an excellent way for a business to convey its ongoing commitment to sustainable development to stakeholders and differentiate it from competitors. It also provides businesses with a useful framework on which to build an emissions reduction strategy. Our consultants are Climate Active Registered Consultants, experienced in guiding clients in a range of industries through the process of carbon-neutral certification.

In addition to Climate Active, Cress also has experience helping businesses attain the New Zealand based Toitu Envirocare suite of certifications, including the “Climate Positive” +125% carbon offsetting option, showing commitment above and beyond the more common carbon neutral certification.
