Measure what matters
Carbon AccountingWe are firm believers that sustainability is a fundamental element of modern business.
We can help measure your impact and achieve your sustainability goals through expert carbon accounting services.
What gets measured, gets managed
Carbon accounting is the measurement of an organisation’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from its activities – electricity use, buying goods and services, waste, travelling, and investing all contribute to your business’s carbon number.
By measuring emissions, businesses can confidently set realistic targets and implement sustainable practices that align with future growth and environmental stewardship – an ever increasing focus area for consumers, employees, banks and stakeholders alike.

Our 4-Step Carbon Accounting Process
Our carbon accounting services are designed to help you understand your impact, build internal knowledge and give you the insights you need to drive informed decision making.
Step 1
Carbon Accounting Readiness Assessment
Our carbon accounting readiness assessment is designed to give us an accurate picture of your business and any specific industry reporting requirements.
Then, we’ll identify the key data required and potential gaps with suggestions on how to proceed.
We’ll provide you with a recommended action plan to embark on your carbon accounting journey.
Step 2
Carbon Accounting Setup & Baseline Emissions Assessment
We’ll connect your accounting file to our carbon accounting platform – Sumday, and start by analysing 3 months of your existing data.
Based on this data, we’ll quantify emissions from your business activities, and help you contact suppliers for additional information to improve the quality of a comprehensive scope 3 assessment.
After this initial review of prior activities, we’ll be in a position to meet with you to deliver your baseline assessment.
Step 3
Refining Your Carbon Number - 3 months
To help refine, embed, and improve your reporting data, we’ll complete the carbon coding for your business for a further 3 month period.
Following this, we’ll meet with you to review your carbon number as it stands, and discuss further recommendations and opportunities for improvement.
Step 4
Ongoing support
Armed with your customised carbon coding guide, we can support your ongoing efforts to keep your number moving in the right direction.
We can train your team to correctly code and allocate transactions, or we can work alongside your existing bookkeeper / in-house finance team to continue to provide monthly carbon accounting services. We’re also on hand for regular reviews and audits.
