Carbon Advisory
Organizational inventories, product carbon footprints, emissions trading compliance, reduction pathways and carbon asset development. We scope the work around the requirement you actually face, deliver verifiable workpapers and reports, and keep the data in MeetCarbon Cloud for annual updates.
01/Sticking points
Most rework comes from boundaries, data and methods that were never aligned at the start, rarely from arithmetic.
When it happens
Multiple legal entities, managed or leased assets, or an acquisition during the year
Where it stalls
Equity share and operational control are mixed; subsidiaries report on their own
If left unresolved
Consolidated results are not comparable year to year and must be recalculated at verification
When it happens
Brand customers or listing rules ask for value-chain emissions
Where it stalls
Unclear which of the 15 categories are material; supplier data is unavailable
If left unresolved
Only travel and commuting get reported while purchased goods, the largest source, are missing
When it happens
Regulatory filing, group targets and customer questionnaires at the same time
Where it stalls
The same figure differs across three templates and nobody can trace its source
If left unresolved
More verification findings and inconsistent external statements
When it happens
A peaking or net-zero target is public and must be split by year and site
Where it stalls
The end point exists, but no project list, investment case or owners
If left unresolved
The gap is discovered too close to the target year to close it
02/Start from your situation
The external requirement drives the accounting boundary, the delivery date and the right first step. Pick the scenario closest to yours.
What you need
Suggested services
First step
List the affected customs codes, then map process boundaries line by line.
03/Services
Each service states who it is for, how it runs and what you receive. Expand for details.
Who it is for
First inventories, group consolidation, external disclosure or customer questionnaires

04/Scope 3 map
Scope 3 is often the largest share of emissions, but effort need not be spread evenly. Pick an industry to see the usually material categories, and click any category for data sources and methods.

Downstream · Cat. 9–15

Purchased goods and services
Usually materialData sources
Procurement ledger, bills of materials, supplier carbon data
Common methods

Usually materialCase by case· Select a category for details
05/Typical projects
Typical project paths; client details are withheld.
06/Engagement models
Choose by the nature of the work. Durations are typical ranges; final scope follows a workload assessment.
One reporting year of organizational inventory, or one product footprint.
Deliverables
Year-round data collection, quarterly review, annual report and verification, with monthly reduction tracking.
Deliverables
Policies, procedures, roles and systems set up once, then run by your team.

08/Platform link
At project close, the source register, factor library and calculation rules are configured in the MeetCarbon Cloud carbon module. From the next year metered data flows in automatically, and advisors only review and report instead of rebuilding spreadsheets.
09/FAQ
Usually the organization chart and ownership, a facility list, a full year of energy bills and meter records, main procurement records, and logistics and travel records. At kickoff we provide a checklist split by emission source.
No. Screen for materiality by share of emissions, data availability and stakeholder interest, and document reasons for exclusions. In the first year, quantifying the two or three largest categories well is common practice.
The inventory is prepared by the company or its advisor; verification is an independent opinion. We prepare inventories and support verification, and do not verify reports we prepared.
Activity data can be shared, but boundaries and methods differ. CBAM calculates embedded emissions per product and traces precursors, while the ETS accounts by installation. We produce both views from one set of workpapers.
Workpapers and rules are configured in MeetCarbon Cloud. With an annual retainer we review monthly; with a system build your team runs it under the procedures.
Share your industry, size and next deadline, and we will suggest scope, duration and a data checklist.
