Emissions strategy advisory

Turn emissions data into a plan that survives scrutiny.

We help organisations measure, structure and reduce emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3, then address residual emissions through a defensible strategy.

01

Measure

GHG inventory and MRV

Build a complete and repeatable inventory across operations and the value chain, using appropriate primary data, supplier reporting, estimation methods and controls.

  • Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory architecture
  • Data collection and control procedures
  • Emission-factor selection and documentation
  • Supplier data and primary measurement strategy
  • Audit-ready calculation files and evidence
02

Structure

Targets, pathways and governance

Translate the inventory into a practical transition plan with clear ownership, interim milestones, investment logic and reporting responsibilities.

  • Science-based targets and net-zero pathway support
  • Sector and category prioritisation
  • Internal carbon pricing
  • Board and operating governance
  • CDP, CSRD, ISSB and stakeholder alignment
03

Reduce

From plan to decarbonisation

Prioritise and execute the levers that change the inventory, then use high-integrity climate finance for residual emissions or value-chain action.

  • Operational efficiency and energy transition
  • Renewable electricity and PPAs
  • Supplier engagement and procurement criteria
  • Scope 3 insetting programmes
  • Carbon credit and Article 6 portfolio strategy

Framework-aware, evidence-led

Start with the decision, then build the evidence.

A reporting framework can define the disclosure, but it cannot replace a robust data model. We establish boundaries, methodologies and controls that remain useful as standards evolve.

Reduction hierarchy

Reductions first. Residuals last.

Climate finance is strongest when it sits inside a transparent transition plan rather than replacing one.

01

Measure gross emissions

Keep the inventory visible and separate from any credits or certificates used.

02

Cut what the organisation controls

Prioritise operational and procurement decisions that reduce absolute emissions.

03

Act inside the value chain

Use supplier engagement and insetting programmes where Scope 3 emissions can be directly influenced.

04

Finance high-integrity outcomes

Use high-integrity carbon credits or authorised outcomes for clearly defined residual emissions and claims.

Advisory FAQ

Common starting points.

Can Sentinel Earth build a complete Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory?

Yes. We can establish boundaries, data collection, emission factors, calculation files and control procedures across operational and value-chain categories.

Do you support SBTi and transition planning?

We support target setting, pathway analysis and the operating governance needed to turn targets into a practical transition plan. Final target validation remains subject to the relevant standard setter.

How do carbon credits fit into emissions strategy?

Credits should sit alongside a transparent gross emissions inventory and funded reduction plan. Their role, reporting treatment and public claims should be defined separately from the organisation's own emissions reductions.

Can you help with supplier data?

Yes. We can prioritise Scope 3 categories, design supplier questionnaires and primary-data pathways, assess data quality and identify where insetting or procurement interventions can create measurable reductions.
