Clear, defensible greenhouse gas reporting, without an in-house sustainability team.
You want to get your reporting right. You just don’t have the time or the team to become an expert in it. We organise your source data, calculate your emissions and prepare the documentation your reporting needs, built to a method that holds up under review.
You care about getting this right. You just don’t have time to become an expert in it.
Climate and emissions reporting comes with its own language, and getting it wrong costs you twice: once in the redo, once in the risk. Most businesses want to do the right thing by the environment. They’re just busy running operations, chasing orders and keeping the floor moving, not decoding legislation.
That’s where we come in. We work through the specific frameworks that apply to your business, whether that’s the GHG Protocol, Australia’s National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting scheme, or the AASB S2 climate disclosure standard, and turn them into a process you can actually run every year.
No jargon, no guesswork. Here’s exactly what we do.
We map what actually applies to you
AASB S2, NGER, Scope 1/2/3: every business’s obligation looks a little different. We work out exactly what’s required for yours, and by when.We collect and organise the data
It’s rarely missing, just scattered across invoices, meter readings and a few different people’s inboxes. We build a proper data collection process with the right people across your business, so it comes together cleanly every year, not just this one.We calculate it properly
A documented, defensible method: the kind that holds up under assurance, not just a first glance.We document it properly
A clear methodology, assumptions register and evidence trail behind every figure, so the reasoning is on record, not just the number.
Services
Six areas of practice covering the full greenhouse gas reporting process, from first inventory to ongoing analysis.
GHG Accounting & Reporting
Development of corporate greenhouse gas inventories across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3, built from source data and a documented methodology.
- Organisational & operational boundaries
- Activity data & emissions calculations
- Emission factor selection
- Inventory documentation & annual reporting
Scope 3 & Value Chain Emissions
Screening, prioritisation and calculation of Scope 3 emissions across the value chain, with a clear plan to improve data over time.
- Category screening & prioritisation
- Supplier spend & activity data
- Materiality assessment
- Data improvement planning
NGER Reporting Support
Structured greenhouse gas and energy data preparation to support Australian businesses with their NGER reporting requirements.
- Energy & fuel data consolidation
- NGER methodologies & calculations
- Reporting documentation & QA/QC
- Basis of Preparation support
GHG & Environmental Data Management
Structured systems for collecting, validating and maintaining environmental data across sites, business units and reporting periods.
- Site registers & data ownership
- Standard templates & reporting calendars
- Completeness & validation checks
- Centralised reporting structures
Climate Reporting & Assurance Readiness
Strengthening greenhouse gas information, documentation and controls ahead of climate reporting, internal review or external assurance.
- Basis of Preparation & assumption registers
- Emission factor registers
- QA/QC & reconciliation
- AASB S2 emissions data support
Environmental Performance Insights
A natural follow-on once your emissions, energy and waste data is reported: turning it into practical information management can use.
- Emissions, energy & waste analytics
- Site & business-unit comparisons
- Trend & intensity analysis
- Management reporting & dashboards
Technical enough for the detail. Practical enough for the business.
We calculate the emissions
This isn’t generic sustainability advice. We perform Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 greenhouse gas accounting.
We master the data behind the number
We organise environmental information across sites, systems and teams.
We build reporting that’s assurance-ready
Methodologies, evidence, emission factors, assumptions and calculations form a transparent, repeatable process.
We put your data to work
Once emissions, energy and waste data is structured, we identify trends, performance and areas that need attention.
A defined process, from data to decision.
The same disciplined process underpins every engagement, from a first inventory through to ongoing reporting and analysis.
Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3
The three categories that make up a corporate greenhouse gas inventory, under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.
- Scope 1
- Direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organisation: natural gas, LPG, diesel and petrol, company vehicles, generators and refrigerants.
- Scope 2
- Indirect emissions from purchased electricity and other purchased energy: location-based and market-based reporting, GreenPower, renewable energy certificates and onsite solar.
- Scope 3
- Other indirect emissions across the value chain: purchased goods and services, supplier spend, freight, waste, business travel and employee commuting.
NGER reporting, handled with the same rigour.
Zumra Carbon Advisory supports Australian organisations with the greenhouse gas and energy data, calculations and documentation behind their National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting obligations.
NGER reporting supportMove beyond reporting the number.
Environmental data can tell a business much more than its annual footprint. We analyse emissions, energy and waste information to identify trends, anomalies and areas that warrant attention, giving management clearer information to support operational and environmental decisions.
Environmental Performance InsightsMake the numbers easier to review.
Businesses preparing for climate reporting, internal review or external assurance benefit from transparent calculations, documented methodologies, traceable source data and a clear evidence trail.
Climate reporting & assurance readinessSupport includes Basis of Preparation, assumption and emission factor registers, QA/QC controls, reconciliation and AASB S2 emissions data support.
Built for organisations where emissions data is spread across the business.
Emissions information often sits across finance, procurement, operations, facilities, HR and suppliers. We help bring it into one structured reporting process.
Our experience
Our experience spans the public sector, manufacturing and consulting, from assessing compliance within government to leading emissions reporting across a 40-plus site manufacturing group. That’s the perspective we bring to your reporting.
More about Zumra Carbon AdvisoryWhat you typically walk away with
The specific mix depends on the engagement, but our work is built around concrete, usable outputs rather than a single number.
A documented inventory
Your Scope 1, 2 and (where in scope) Scope 3 emissions, calculated and organised by source.
A calculation workbook
The underlying figures, emission factors and formulas, in a form you can review or hand to a reviewer.
Methodology & Basis of Preparation
A written record of how the numbers were built, and the assumptions behind them.
An evidence register or findings summary
Source documents traced to each figure, or a summary of what the data shows, depending on the engagement.
