The fundamental sustainability issue that all businesses, as well as governmental and non-governmental bodies, are facing is that of climate change, both in terms of what is already happening and what can be expected to happen in the future, irrespective of efforts being made to reduce carbon emissions.
There are also many other sustainability issues, which often link back to, or are affected by, climate change. These involve the security of water and energy supplies, the maintenance of biodiversity and of agricultural and fisheries systems and, ultimately, the resilience of societies and organisations to respond to these important issues.
The issues are so far reaching that they affect all of SLR's business areas. Provision of advice on sustainability issues requires a holistic view of the world and as such, a significant number of SLR's technical disciplines provide advice, often as part of an integrated team of sustainability specialists, on sustainability issues to clients in the private and public sectors.
Some of our specifically related services include;
Carbon Accounting and Audits
SLR is qualified, experienced and independent greenhouse gas inventory and abatement consultants and verifiers and can provide servixes that include the following.
- Greenhouse gas inventory, benchmarking and reporting
- Energy and greenhouse gas management
- Design and validation of carbon reduction projects
- Service, product and project life cycle assessments
- Greenhouse gas accounting, carbon audits and abatement verification
- Transparent, Traceable and Compliant GHG Accounting
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Assessments are undertaken for all industry sectors by applying suitable local and international protocols and procedures including the IPCC Guidelines for the Preparation of National Inventories. The use of local and international protocols and methodologies ensures that greenhouse gas assessments undertaken are transparent, traceable, repeatable and compliant.
SLR has completed many greenhouse gas quantification and assessment projects, including greenhouse gas assessments for coal mining activities using Scopes 1 to 3 (direct and indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions) as defined by the Internationally recognised Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative.
Carbon Trading and Audits
Advice is provided on the various voluntary and mandatory State, National and International schemes and requirements relating to carbon offsetting, carbon trading and the acquisition of carbon neutrality. In the quantification, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions and removals, SLR ensures that its approach is compliant with internationally recognised carbon trading protocols. We offer practical guidance to our clients on financial opportunities arising from realising real carbon reductions. Support is provided for resource use reduction planning and clients advised on how they can capitalise on incentives offered by National and International carbon markets whilst maximising environmental benefits.
