Purchased Energy
Review of electricity and other purchased-energy data included within the agreed assessment boundary.
CARBON FOOTPRINT ASSESSMENT
Measure Emissions. Identify Priorities. Build a Practical Reduction Roadmap.
BGES supports organizations in developing a structured view of greenhouse-gas emissions, identifying major emission sources and organizing practical opportunities for carbon-management improvement.
Overview
What Is a Carbon Footprint Assessment?
A carbon footprint assessment organizes relevant activity and energy data to estimate greenhouse-gas emissions within an agreed organizational, facility or operational boundary.
The assessment can help management understand which activities contribute most to emissions and where better data, efficiency measures or operational changes may support reduction planning.
The exact boundary, data sources and level of detail are defined with the client so that the resulting inventory is transparent, practical and suitable for its intended use.
Why Measure Carbon Performance?
A structured emissions baseline gives organizations a clearer starting point for carbon-management planning.
- Understand major emission sources
- Create a documented baseline
- Identify data-quality gaps
- Prioritize reduction opportunities
- Support sustainability planning
- Track progress more consistently
What We Assess
Review of Relevant Emission Sources & Activity Data
Assessment boundaries and included sources are confirmed before data collection so the analysis remains consistent and transparent.
Fuel Consumption
Assessment of relevant fuel use in equipment, utilities, vehicles or processes where included in scope.
Process & Operational Sources
Review of applicable operational activities that may contribute to the organization's emissions profile.
Refrigerants & Cooling Systems
Review of relevant refrigerant information where such sources are included in the agreed boundary.
Transport & Mobility
Assessment of selected transport, fleet or travel activity where data is available and included in scope.
Waste-Related Activity
Review of relevant waste quantities and treatment information where included in the carbon assessment.
Data Quality & Assumptions
Documentation of available data, estimation methods, assumptions and areas requiring improved information.
Reduction Opportunities
Identification of practical efficiency, operational and resource-management opportunities linked to major sources.
Carbon Management
From Emissions Baseline to Reduction Priorities
A carbon inventory is most useful when the underlying data, boundaries and assumptions are clearly documented.
BGES connects carbon assessment with practical engineering and resource-efficiency opportunities wherever appropriate.

A Clear Baseline Supports Better Decisions
Understanding where emissions arise helps management focus reduction efforts on the sources and operational decisions that matter most.
Our Approach
A Transparent Carbon Assessment Process
The assessment follows a clear sequence from scope definition through data review, calculation and improvement planning.
Define Scope & Boundary
Agree the organizational or facility boundary, relevant sources and intended use of the assessment.
Collect & Review Data
Compile energy, fuel and other relevant activity information available within the agreed scope.
Calculate & Document
Estimate emissions using appropriate factors and clearly document assumptions and data limitations.
Identify Major Sources
Review the emissions profile to identify significant contributors and data-quality priorities.
Develop Improvement Priorities
Connect the findings with practical efficiency and carbon-management opportunities.
