Scans & Assessments

Scans and assessments such as carbon accounting, the energy scan, and life cycle assessment give you accurate, measurable insights into your environmental footprint and resource efficiency. They reveal emissions hotspots, energy waste, and product impacts across the value chain. These insights support strategic decision-making, identify cost savings, and strengthen your sustainability credibility with customers, partners, and investors. Accurate assessments are also essential for meeting emissions targets, securing funding, and participating in ESG-conscious value chains.

Any business can benefit from understanding its emissions, energy use, and product impacts. Carbon accounting applies to companies aiming to measure and reduce their footprint. The energy scans suit organisations with high energy use and electricity bills. Our life cycle assessment is key for businesses designing, producing, or sourcing physical products. Each assessment is tailored to your sector, operations, and goals.

The best time to start is now. Establishing a baseline for emissions, energy use, or product impacts takes time and is essential for tracking progress and setting credible targets. Starting early means you can capture seasonal variations, identify savings quickly, and integrate improvements into future planning. Waiting risks missed opportunities, inefficient investments, and weaker performance in tenders or stakeholder evaluations.

Scans and assessments often reveal quick wins and long-term improvements. Carbon accounting can highlight high-emission suppliers or processes that can be switched to lower-carbon alternatives. The energy scan identifies inefficiencies, unnecessary losses, and peak consumption patterns, leading to immediate cost savings. Our life cycle assessment uncovers opportunities for circular design, material substitution, and process optimisation. Together, they help reduce costs, improve sustainability performance, and strengthen your market position.

Our Sustainability as a Service subscription gives you continuous access to specialists in carbon accounting, energy optimisation, and life cycle analysis. We keep data accurate, update assessments as your operations change, and translate findings into practical actions. Many in-house teams treat scans as one-off exercises, losing momentum and missing efficiency gains. We ensure your assessments remain relevant, actionable, and deliver measurable improvements year after year.
