SERVICE OVERVIEW

What is GHG & Carbon Footprinting?

A Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory is a foundational tool for any organization committed to sustainability. It involves the systematic quantification of all greenhouse gases emitted by a business's operations and value chain. At CQES International LLC, we provide the clarity needed to manage environmental impact effectively.

Measuring your carbon footprint is the first step toward meaningful action. For businesses in the UAE, carbon transparency is becoming a prerequisite for international trade and green procurement. Our services cover Scope 1 (Direct), Scope 2 (Indirect Energy), and the complex Scope 3 (Value Chain Emissions).

We utilize the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1 as our guiding methodologies, ensuring your data meets the highest international thresholds for reporting and third-party verification.

FUTURE PROOFING

Navigating the Path to Net Zero

Setting Science-Based Targets

Establishing a GHG inventory is just the beginning. At CQES, we help you set ambitious yet achievable Science-Based Targets (SBTs) that align with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement. This involves developing a multi-year decarbonization roadmap that includes energy efficiency upgrades, switching to renewable energy (PPA/iRECs), and transitioning to low-carbon logistics solutions.

The Scope 3 Challenge

For most organizations, up to 90% of their emissions reside in Scope 3 (the value chain). We specialize in tackling this complexity by performing lifecycle-based spend analysis and supplier engagement programs. By quantifying the carbon footprint of your purchased goods and services, we provide the data needed to make sustainable procurement decisions and collaborate with suppliers on mutual reduction goals.

In the Middle East, the push for Net Zero is accelerated by national strategies like the UAE Net Zero by 2050 and the Saudi Green Initiative. Organizations that measure and manage their carbon footprints today will be the leaders in tomorrow's low-carbon economy. CQES International LLC provides the technical backbone for this transition, ensuring your journey to Net Zero is credible, science-based, and aligned with regional climate ambitions.

Why Choose CQES International LLC?

Carbon footprinting is a technical science that requires precision and deep methodological knowledge. CQES International LLC is the preferred choice for businesses across the Middle East for several key reasons:

  • Regional Context: We use localized emission factors relevant to the Middle Eastern energy grid and climate conditions.
  • Rigorous Methodologies: Grounded in the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, ensuring your data is globally accepted.
  • Decarbonization Focus: We don't just report numbers; we provide actionable roadmaps to reduce them.
  • Experienced Auditors: Our team consists of lead auditors and sustainability engineers with track records in high-impact sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions regarding GHG inventories and carbon footprints.

1. What is a GHG inventory?

A GHG inventory is a quantification of all greenhouse gas emissions resulting from an organization's activities. It serves as a baseline for any carbon reduction or Net Zero strategy.

2. What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?

Scope 1: Direct emissions from your owned facilities and vehicles. Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy (electricity/cooling). Scope 3: Indirect emissions from your value chain (procurement, travel, waste).

3. How long does the assessment take?

A standard assessment typically takes 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the number of sites and the accessibility of data for Scope 3 emissions.

4. What data do we need to provide?

We generally require utility bills, fuel consumption records, vehicle mileage, and procurement data for Scope 3 (e.g., spend by category or material volumes).

5. Which standards do you follow?

We follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and ISO 14064-1:2018.

6. Is carbon footprinting required by law?

In the UAE and KSA, requirements are increasing for listed companies and certain industrial sectors. It is also often required for participation in major government tenders.

7. Can you help with Net Zero targets?

Yes, we use your GHG inventory to set realistic, science-based targets for achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 or earlier.

8. How much does it cost?

Cost depends on organizational size, scope of reporting (just Scope 1 & 2 vs all Scope 3), and number of physical locations. We offer tailored pricing for all budgets.
