Footprinting Services

Greenhouse gas accounting – or carbon footprinting – allows for the evaluation of an organisation’s impact on climate change by estimating the quantities and assessing the sources of various greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, directly or indirectly connected with the activities of the entity, within its organisational and operational boundaries.

South Pole can monitor and calculate your organisation’s carbon footprint expressed as tons of CO2e (Carbon Dioxide Equivalents) emissions, usually on an annual basis. We propose a wide variety of footprinting workpackages to adjust to our clients’ needs. Standard services include scoping, data collection and carbon calculations among other.
See our detailed Footprinting Sheet for a list of services offered.

In addition, South Pole suggests solutions to manage your carbon liabilities, which consists either of offsetting your emissions, or achieving ‘real’ emission reductions. 'Real' emission reductions can be achieved either through operational changes or efficiency improvements and there is a potential for the development of GHG emission reduction projects, whether CDM or VER.
