Carbon Reduction Roadmap

Know Your Footprint.
Build Your Roadmap.

Knowing your footprint is the first step to reducing it. We build you a data-driven, actionable Carbon Reduction Roadmap — from baseline measurement to a fully costed plan with clear KPIs and quick wins.

What is a Carbon Footprint?

A carbon footprint measures total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e), categorised across three scopes.

Scope 1Direct

Emissions you directly control — onsite fuel combustion, company-owned vehicles, and industrial processes.

  • Natural gas boilers
  • Company fleet
  • Onsite generators
Scope 2Indirect — Energy

Emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam, or cooling consumed by your organisation.

  • Grid electricity
  • District heating
  • Purchased steam
Scope 3Indirect — Value Chain

All other indirect emissions across your supply chain, business travel, waste, and product lifecycle.

  • Supply chain
  • Business travel
  • Waste & logistics

Industry Challenges — And How We Solve Them

Carbon reduction is rarely straightforward. Here's what holds most businesses back, and how our roadmap addresses each barrier directly.

The Challenge
Our Solution
No practical, results-driven climate action strategy
A practical roadmap with clear actions and measurable KPIs
Limited internal capacity — time, expertise, and leadership bandwidth
Expert support to bridge internal time and skills gaps
Complex and interdependent energy and process systems
Energy audits to target Scope 1 and 2 reductions directly
Supply chain emissions that are hard to trace and manage
A focused, high-impact approach to Scope 3 emissions
Tension between long-term planning and short-term business pressures
Quick wins identified alongside a long-term strategic plan
Gaps in data quality, emissions tracking, and reporting
Detailed analysis to surface inefficiencies and build reporting confidence

How We Build Your Roadmap

A clear, collaborative process to ensure your roadmap is data-driven, actionable, and aligned with your goals.

01

Discovery & Baseline Assessment

We engage your key stakeholders to understand operations, goals, and boundaries — then collect and validate data across all three scopes using GHG Protocol methodology to establish your tCO₂e baseline.

02

Opportunity Analysis

Through onsite audits and/or online workshops, we identify carbon and energy reduction opportunities across your operations and supply chain, evaluated by impact, cost, and feasibility.

03

Action Planning

We develop a fully costed roadmap with recommended actions, timelines, and resource requirements — prioritising interventions for maximum impact and alignment with your business strategy.

04

KPIs & Reporting Framework

We recommend tools and systems for ongoing monitoring, reporting, and grant alignment — including SEAI and ISO 50001 compatibility.

05

Review & Handover

We present the final roadmap in a practical, easy-to-use format that your team can act on immediately — with no consultant dependency required.

06

Track & Manage with the EcoReko Platform

Put your roadmap into action using the EcoReko Carbon Management Platform — monitor emissions in real time, track progress against targets, model reduction scenarios, and generate compliance-ready reports as your journey continues.

A Typical Reduction Journey

The example below illustrates how each recommended measure chips away at a baseline — from quick operational wins to longer-term capital investments — achieving a 72% reduction in this case.
