Our Proven Process for Carbon Footprint Measurement
We don’t make it complicated.
Our process is designed to be simple, effective, and audit-ready.
Step 1: Initial Climate Assessment
Before diving into the numbers, we take a close look at your business.
Our initial climate assessment examines your operations and products from top to bottom.
We identify the primary sources of direct and indirect emissions from both your company and your product’s lifecycle.
What sources do we identify?
- Direct emissions from your energy and fuel use.
- Indirect emissions related to purchased energy and your supply chain.
- Product emissions from raw material sourcing, manufacturing, transportation, usage, and end-of-life.
We also benchmark your performance against peer companies and identify market trends that impact your industry.
This isn’t a cookie-cutter process.
We tailor it to your business and products, ensuring every action aligns with your broader climate action goals.
Step 2: Data Collection – Simplified and Efficient
Data collection is where most companies get stuck.
But we’ve made it simple and straightforward.
At Vim Aeris, we use Excel-based questionnaires to gather the data we need.
You don’t need to learn new software or spend days figuring out how to upload information.
What data do we collect?
- Energy and fuel consumption data for your business operations.
- Information about waste, transportation, and supply chain activities.
- Product lifecycle data from cradle-to-grave—including emissions generated during raw material sourcing, production, distribution, usage, and disposal.
By making the data collection process simple, we save you time and reduce errors.
Plus, it keeps everything organized so that you’re ready for the next step.
Step 3: Detailed Results – Accurate, Audit-Ready, and Actionable
Once we’ve collected the data, we get to work.
We calculate your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions using Excel-based tools that align with international standards like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Here’s what you can get:
- A full breakdown of your company’s carbon footprint, including direct emissions (Scope 1), purchased energy emissions (Scope 2), and supply chain emissions (Scope 3).
- A product carbon footprint analysis that tracks emissions from cradle-to-grave or cradle-to-gate, covering raw materials to end-of-life disposal.
- Audit-ready reports you can use for compliance, reporting, and internal reviews.
Why Accurate Carbon Footprint Measurement Matters
If you’re serious about climate action, carbon footprint measurement is where it all begins. You can’t fix what you can’t measure.
Accurately measuring your carbon emissions isn’t just about checking off a regulatory requirement.
It’s about positioning your company for sustainable growth, improving efficiency, and staying competitive.
At Vim Aeris, we don’t just throw numbers at you.
We give you a clear plan to reduce emissions, meet compliance, and unlock new growth opportunities.
Why It’s Important to Get Carbon Footprint Measurement Right
Measuring your carbon footprint lays the groundwork for your entire climate action strategy.
It’s the foundation of everything.
Here’s why it matters:
- You get a clear snapshot of where your emissions are coming from—whether it’s direct emissions from fuel use or the hidden impact of your supply chain.
- It’s the key to reducing your carbon footprint effectively. Without knowing the numbers, you’re just guessing.
- It keeps you compliant with regulations like the Climate-related Disclosures and Targets for US Federal Contractors, CSRD, and others, avoiding penalties while showing leadership in environmental responsibility.
And here’s the kicker: it doesn’t just help with compliance.
Accurate carbon footprint measurement gives you the edge to optimize operations, lower costs, and even attract new business.
We don’t just hand you a report and walk away.
We provide actionable insights that show you where to make changes to reduce your emissions and hit your net-zero targets.
