GHG Management Services

Delphi’s GHG Management services have been developed through years of extensive project experience working collaboratively with hundreds of clients – large and small. In fact, we have been developing GHG management strategies longer than any other Canadian consultancy and our experience enables us to effectively design, develop and implement GHG management strategies that are proven to reduce costs, liabilities and future risks while enhancing profitability, stakeholder relations, competitiveness and shareholder value.

We know from experience that every client starts from a different position with different needs and objectives. As a result, our GHG management services have been designed to offer ‘a menu of activities’ to choose from, with the ultimate mix and order of activities chosen determined by your unique needs and circumstances.

1. Calculate GHG Inventory
The objective of this step it to calculate your GHG inventory (carbon footprint) and meet the requirements of recognized accounting standards and the needs of your business.

The process of preparing a GHG inventory is typically an iterative one and we often prepare an initial ‘draft’ inventory to support early strategy discussions. Once high‐level strategy objectives are defined, we will then complete a more robust inventory calculation to meet the needs as defined by the strategy discussion.

Delphi also have experience with GHG inventories (footprints) for supply chains, events and product lifecycles.
