RSM greenhouse gas consulting services

Greenhouse gas consulting services support organizations in tracking, managing and reducing their carbon footprint. These services are increasingly critical amid tightening environmental regulations and rising stakeholder expectations.

At the core of these services is the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a globally recognized framework for carbon accounting. It provides standardized methods for measuring emissions across:

• Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources
• Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy
• Scope 3: All other indirect emissions in the value chain

Why choose RSM for greenhouse gas emissions consulting?

Regulatory, investor and customer demands are converging around transparent climate reporting. RSM's greenhouse gas consulting services provide an efficient, scalable path to compliance without the need for continuous consulting support.

We help you:
