Organisation footprints

An organisation carbon footprint is the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the annual operation of a business.

Also known as a GHG inventory, it will measure and report your business's emissions from key sources. Catalyst® has extensive expertise in performing and reporting GHG inventories to international standards. We also provide advice and support with GHG monitoring and reductions.

An organisation's footprint can be presented on your website or in print publications such as Annual Reports or Sustainability Reports. See how we have presented our carbon footprint information below, or see a copy of Chow:Hill Architect's Sustainability Report.

We are approved consultants for the CEMARS® and carboNZeroCertTM certification programmes.
