Carbon Accounting
Establish a credible baseline and meet compliance standards through accurate measurement and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
Overview
Carbon accounting provides a structured foundation for understanding and managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By quantifying emissions from direct operations (Scope 1), purchased energy (Scope 2) and, where applicable, upstream or downstream activities (Scope 3), organizations gain the insight needed to meet compliance requirements, demonstrate transparency and plan future action for emission reduction.
EnSmart Solutions supports clients in developing GHG inventories aligned with globally recognized frameworks such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Our services focus on Scopes 1 and 2, with planning and facilitation to prepare for Scope 3 reporting. Whether driven by regulation, stakeholder expectation or internal climate goals, our approach simplifies the process, ensuring accurate reporting and a clear emissions baseline to guide sustainability efforts.

Service description
EnSmart Solutions provides carbon accounting services that help organizations accurately measure and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across Scope 1 and Scope 2 categories, with structured support for planning Scope 3 readiness and reporting. Our process follows the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and other recognized standards to ensure accuracy, credibility and alignment with evolving reporting requirements.
We begin by establishing clear organizational boundaries and collecting data on direct emissions (e.g., fuel combustion) and indirect emissions (e.g., purchased electricity). Our analysis results in a structured emissions inventories and identifies opportunities for integrating carbon accounting into sustainability reporting, operational planning or ESG strategy development. While this specific service does not include engineering for emissions reductions, it provides the verified emissions baseline needed to inform action, support compliance and prepare for stakeholder disclosures.
Process
We begin with a preliminary discussion to understand your operations, reporting goals and stakeholder expectations. Based on this, we define project boundaries, data needs, service level and provide a clear scope of work and cost estimate for approval.
We quantify direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions using energy consumption data from sources such as fuel use, onsite combustion and purchased electricity. Emissions are calculated using recognized methodologies under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and documented in a structured GHG inventory.
For organizations looking to expand reporting across the value chain, we help identify relevant Scope 3 categories and develop a phased approach. This includes engaging suppliers, clarifying reporting expectations and laying the groundwork for future Scope 3 emissions disclosure in line with stakeholder or regulatory requirements.
We compile results in a professional report along with a presentation to review finding and final results. Optional ongoing support is available to maintain and refine your GHG inventory over time or integrate it into broader sustainability reporting.
Deliverables
A professional, verifiable report quantifying Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and formatted to align with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.
Summary of relevant upstream and downstream Scope 3 categories, phased engagement plan for suppliers and outline of future reporting steps.
Data collection templates, calculation methodology and references to emission factors used, to support transparency and audit readiness.
