Measure

The Measure stage is where effective environmental and ESG operations begin. Before you can prioritise action, validate claims or communicate progress with confidence, you need a clear picture of the impacts across your organisation, assets, products and supply chain. This pillar brings together the services that help clients quantify emissions, define reporting boundaries, assess lifecycle impacts and establish a credible environmental baseline. It is designed for organisations at the start of their sustainability journey, as well as those looking to strengthen existing carbon and ESG data systems.

At this stage, we help clients build robust baselines across Scope 1, Scope 2 and material Scope 3 emissions, while also improving understanding of product and asset impacts through lifecycle assessment. Alongside this, we strengthen the quality, structure and consistency of environmental data to support better decision-making and future reporting. Once measurement is in place, clients are in a far stronger position to move into the next stage of the journey: Analyse, where data is translated into clear priorities and practical direction.

How We Can Help You Measure Your Impact

Carbon Management

We help clients establish a clear and credible carbon baseline that reflects how their organisation operates in practice. This includes defining reporting boundaries, gathering the right activity data and building a structured view of emissions sources across the business. Our role is to give clients confidence that the foundations are in place from the outset, so future analysis, target setting and reporting are built on reliable evidence.

GHG Scopes 1, 2 & 3

We support organisations in identifying, categorising and quantifying emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2 and the most material Scope 3 categories. This often includes helping clients navigate complex value chain emissions, improve data availability and apply a practical approach where data quality varies. By strengthening visibility across direct and indirect emissions, we help create a more complete picture of environmental impact.

Lifecycle Assessments (LCAs)

Our lifecycle assessment services help clients measure the environmental impacts of products, materials and assets across each stage of the lifecycle. By assessing impacts from raw material extraction through to manufacture, use and end of life, we provide the evidence needed to understand where impacts occur and how they can be measured consistently. This gives clients a stronger basis for design decisions, reporting and future environmental claims.

Measurement & Reporting

We help clients put the right structure around environmental data so that measurement is consistent, traceable and fit for purpose. This includes improving data collection methods, documenting assumptions and aligning outputs with recognised frameworks and stakeholder expectations. The aim is not simply to measure more, but to measure in a way that supports confident decision-making and creates a smoother route into validation and reporting.

Four Key Outcomes

01

Clear carbon and environmental baselines

We help clients establish defensible baselines across organisational emissions, value chain emissions and product-level environmental impacts, creating the foundation for practical ESG action.

02

Improved data quality and consistency

From activity data collection to documented assumptions and methodological alignment, we strengthen the integrity of environmental data so clients can move forward with confidence.

03

Visibility of emissions and impact hotspots

Measurement is not just about producing a number. We help clients see where the most material emissions and environmental impacts occur across operations, products and procurement.

04

A stronger starting point for the next stage

Once a robust baseline is in place, clients are ready to move into Analyse, where data is interpreted, prioritised and turned into meaningful business direction.

Measure FAQs

What services sit within the Measure stage?

This pillar includes Carbon Management, GHG Scopes 1, 2 & 3, Lifecycle Assessments (LCAs), and Measurement & Reporting support. These services help establish reliable environmental and carbon data.

Why is measurement the first step in the journey?

Without a clear baseline, it is difficult to identify priorities, set realistic targets or make credible environmental claims. Measurement gives you the evidence needed to move into analysis and reduction planning.

Can you help with Scope 3 emissions and supply chain data?

Yes. We support the identification and assessment of material Scope 3 categories and help improve supplier data quality and emissions transparency.

Does this only apply to carbon reporting?

No. Measurement can cover organisational emissions, product lifecycle impacts, broader environmental metrics and reporting inputs that support ESG strategy and disclosure.
