Greenhouse Gas Reporting Services
Trinity’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Service makes sure organizations have accurate carbon footprint data and meets the requirements for mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting.
Data Advisory Service
Trinity’s Data Advisory Service involves personalized guidance on the data required for effective emissions reporting. Our experts assist you in identifying and collecting the necessary information and provide a comprehensive and accurate foundation for your emissions assessments.
Emissions Analysis
We go beyond mere data collection with our Emissions Analysis service. Our team conducts a thorough analysis to provide detailed insights into Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This includes a complete review of your organization’s activities, processes, and associated emissions that empower you with a holistic understanding of your carbon footprint.
Custom Emission Factors Inclusion
We specialize in providing emissions factors suited to your unique needs. Whether you specify schemes or countries, we ascertain that the emission factors used in your calculations are precisely aligned with your operational context. This customization improves the accuracy and relevance of your emissions data.
Our Comprehensive Approach
Trinity empowers organizations to make informed decisions, track progress towards sustainability goals, and contribute to a lower carbon footprint by integrating our GHG assessments with ESG principles. Our methodologies adhere to recognized standards and protocols, such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) that ensure the highest quality and consistency in our ESG consultancy services.
Source Identification
Trinity takes charge in pinpointing the sources of GHG emissions tied to the client’s activities, processes, or systems. Our expertise lies in identifying both direct emissions from combustion processes and indirect emissions from energy consumption and other related factors.
Data Collection
We meticulously collect relevant data from diverse sources, such as utility bills, production records, and emission factors. This thorough data collection process facilitates a solid foundation for the assessment.
Emission Factor Application
Trinity utilizes industry-standard emission factors to convert the gathered data into equivalent carbon-dioxide or other GHG emissions. This standardized approach results in accuracy and consistency throughout the assessment.
Calculations
Armed with our in-depth knowledge, we employ emission factors to calculate the total GHG emissions associated with the specific activity or process. Our focus on converting these emissions into a common unit, such as CO2 equivalent (CO2e), allows for a comprehensive evaluation.
Reporting and Documentation
Trinity plays a crucial role in preparing a detailed report that outlines the GHG assessment methodology, data sources, emission calculations, and results. Our commitment to transparency is instrumental for regulatory compliance, stakeholder communication, and participation in voluntary carbon footprint certification programs.
Mitigation Strategies
We go beyond assessment by actively engaging in the identification and implementation mitigation strategies. We specialize in offering strategic insights that include energy efficiency measures, renewable energy adoption, process optimization, and adjustments to the supply chain.

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG)
GHG Reporting Service identifies the three categories required by the GHG Protocol. The direct and indirect emissions can all be included in this:
- Scope 1: Direct Emissions
Encompasses all direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or under the control of the organization.
- Scope 2: Indirect Emissions from Energy Consumption
Includes indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the generation or consumption of purchased electricity, heat, or steam.
- Scope 3: Other Indirect Emissions
Encompasses various other indirect emissions, such as those related to the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, transport activities involving non-owned or controlled vehicles, electricity-related activities not covered in Scope 2, outsourced activities, and waste disposal.
