Carbon Services
In the fight against climate change, organizations around the world are looking to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to realize both environmental and financial benefits. Rising environmental concerns are hitting close to home for all companies, as regional, and federal government agencies and voluntary groups create new environmental requirements. Although mandatory carbon reduction regulation is still being worked out at the federal level in the U.S., many companies are voluntarily creating inventories and getting them independently verified according to regional or national verification systems, such as The Climate Registry (TCR).
CICS can consult with your enterprise as you consider how to inventory your greenhouse gas emissions or your carbon footprint. Or we can work at the back end of that process, providing verification of your measurement and documentation efforts.
We provide GHG verification and consultancy services for both mandatory and voluntary systems across many industries. With many years experience of regulated schemes in Europe and with over $7.5 billion of CO2 verification across hundreds of sites, we are now a leading GHG verification and consultancy supplier throughout North America.
CICS holds formal accreditation with ANSI for the delivery of entity verification against ISO14065:2007, ISO14064:2006 Part 3, The Climate Registry (TCR) Verification Protocol, and the California Climate Action Registry Verification Protocol. CICS is also seeking accreditation for verification of carbon reduction projects under the Climate Action Reserve scheme.
CICS can work with you to develop your climate strategy whether your goal is to create a GHG inventory, to verify your carbon reductions, or to ensure that your emissions data is accurate, consistent and transparent. We offer the following GHG services:
- Independent verification of emissions:
- For reporting into voluntary schemes, e.g. TCR
- For mandatory reporting into regulated schemes, e.g. EU ETS Scheme for aircraft operators
- To provide assurance of your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report
- To benchmark and measure your emissions for your GHG inventory.
- Verification of carbon reduction projects, e.g. CAR
- GHG inventory consultancy and development - working with you to establish your carbon footprint so that your energy strategy can be managed effectively and your business is fully prepared for the introduction of new regulations, and developing a GHG inventory management program.
- Training - our seasoned verifiers have seen it all and are also outstanding instructors. Send your people to one of our three GHG courses, or inquire about having us design custom instruction for an entire department.
