emissions accounting & forecasting

Energy and materials companies are subject to mandatory emissions reporting, increasing regulatory scrutiny and heightened investor and insurer focus on forward-looking emissions exposure.

 

Emissions are no longer treated solely as a reporting metric but as an indicator of transition risk, cost exposure and future liability.

We help companies understand their emissions footprints throughout an asset's full lifecycle

forecasting & scenario analysis

reporting & framework alignment

Outputs from this service are commonly used to support reporting under IFRS S1 and S2, PCAF, CSRD/ESRS, GRI, SASB, Equator Principles and IFC Performance Standards.

Where emissions are estimated using high-level assumptions or generic datasets, organisations face:

  • Inconsistent or non-reproducible emissions inventories

  • Limited transparency around assumptions and drivers

  • Difficulty defending numbers under regulatory, assurance or stakeholder scrutiny

  • Misrepresentation of future emissions exposure

  • Poor basis for evaluating mitigation options or trade-offs

 

This can result in regulatory challenge, loss of credibility, financing friction, insurance uncertainty and reputational risk, particularly for asset-heavy or long-life projects.

Our emissions outputs support:

  • Mandatory reporting and regulatory submissions

  • Internal governance and board oversight

  • Financing, investment and transaction assessments

  • Insurance discussions relating to transition and liability risk

  • Comparison of mitigation options and trade-offs

  • Emissions outputs can be integrated into risk and exposure assessments delivered using Wayfinder

Training and facilitated workshops are available to support internal understanding and application of emissions accounting & forecasting.
