One Methodology, Applied Across Every Service We Deliver
Whether we are calculating a GHG inventory, preparing an Environmental Product Declaration, delivering a mandatory AASB S2 disclosure or guiding you through carbon offset selection, the same disciplined, four-stage methodology sits underneath. Only the standards applied and the deliverable produced change by engagement.

The Four-Stage Process Behind Every Engagement
Every engagement, regardless of which of our eight services it falls under, moves through the same four stages. This consistency is deliberate. It means your data, your evidence base and your reporting stay coherent as your climate programme grows and matures over time.
Baseline & Scoping
We start by understanding exactly where you stand: existing emissions data, prior certifications, organisational or product boundaries, and the regulatory or voluntary obligations driving the engagement. This stage determines which standards apply to you, rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Framework & Standard Selection
We apply the specific international or Australian standard that governs your engagement, whether that is the GHG Protocol, ISO 14040, ISO 14025, the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard or the AASB S2 core content requirements. This is where technical rigour becomes concrete rather than a marketing claim.
Analysis, Strategy & Delivery
We do the substantive work: calculating the inventory, running the life cycle assessment, drafting the disclosure, modelling the abatement pathway, evaluating offset quality. You are involved throughout, with iterative review rather than a black-box handover at the end.
Governance, Assurance & Ongoing Reporting
We help you embed the governance and tracking systems needed to monitor progress, support your engagement with an external assurance provider where required, and set your organisation up to report again next year with less effort and more confidence than the first time around.
Standards and Frameworks We Work To
Stage two of our process means selecting the right standard for your engagement. Here are the frameworks that most commonly underpin our work. This list is not exhaustive; we work with all relevant sustainability standards across our core areas of delivery.
GHG Protocol & ISO 14064-1
The foundation for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions accounting, governing how we set organisational boundaries, select emission factors and calculate a defensible greenhouse gas inventory.
ISO 14040 & ISO 14044
The international standards for life cycle assessment, governing how we quantify the cradle-to-grave environmental impacts of a product, material or service.
ISO 14025
The standard governing environmental product declarations, setting out the rules for Type III eco-labelling and the Product Category Rules we apply to each declaration.
Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard
The Australian Government-backed standard governing carbon neutral certification for organisations, products and services, including which offset units are currently eligible.
AASB S2 Core Content Requirements
The mandatory climate-related financial disclosure standard, governing how we structure governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and targets disclosures.
Science Based Targets Initiative Alignment
The methodology we apply when helping you set net zero and interim emissions targets consistent with the latest climate science, rather than an arbitrary figure.
How Our Methodology Adapts Across Services
If the process is the same every time, a natural question follows: why do you need eight different services? The answer is that the four stages stay constant, but what happens inside each stage is shaped entirely by your engagement.
What Stays Constant
- The same four-stage discipline: baseline, framework selection, analysis, governance
- The same commitment to evidence-based, defensible methodology
- The same senior-level involvement, from initial scoping through to final delivery
- The same focus on documentation built to withstand external scrutiny
What Changes by Service
- Which standard is applied at Stage 2, from the GHG Protocol to ISO 14040 to AASB S2
- What is measured or assessed at Stage 3, whether emissions, life cycle impacts, offset quality or climate risk
- What the final deliverable looks like, from a certified report to a disclosure statement to a strategic roadmap
- Which regulatory or voluntary body the output is ultimately prepared for
Data Integrity and Assurance-Readiness
Assurance requirements over climate disclosures are expanding, and offset and certification claims face growing scrutiny. We build every engagement to be assurance-ready from day one, rather than retrofitting documentation once an auditor asks for it.
