However, at Emerald Business Advisers, we guide you through the process, ensuring you have the knowledge and tools to proactively reduce them.
By taking steps to minimise your carbon footprint, you not only align with current sustainability standards, but also get ahead so you are ready to meet future compliance requirements as they evolve.
Offset
To truly get ahead of the climate curve, setting up carbon offset initiatives is imperative.

Glossary
Carbon accounting is the systematic process of measuring and managing a company’s carbon emissions. It involves quantifying greenhouse gas emissions to determine the carbon footprint within distinct areas: direct, indirect, and supply chain emissions.
Direct emissions result from the business’s operations or activities. They encompass emissions such as those produced from the use of fuel in manufacturing processes.
Indirect emissions originate from sources like purchased electricity and heating used on the company’s premises. While they are not directly generated by the organisation, they are associated with its energy consumption.
Supply chain emissions are the most comprehensive. They cover factors such as waste generation, packaging materials, services provided by suppliers, employee commuting, remote work, and product deliveries.
Accounting for all three emissions scopes is essential to achieving accurate carbon accounting, providing a holistic view of a company’s environmental impact.
Carbon accounting is vital for businesses of all sizes as it fosters environmental responsibility, facilitates regulatory compliance, enhances marketability, and ensures strong partnerships with other sustainability-conscious companies. It is a proactive step towards securing a sustainable and successful future in an evolving business landscape.
