Step 2: Gather Your Footprint for Comprehensive Climate Risk and GHG Analysis

In Step 1, you identified your industry and the unique climate hazards—like hurricanes, floods, and droughts—that most affect your sector. Now, in Step 2, you’ll gather your operational footprint so we can accurately map 25+ potential climate risks to each of your sites. This step also sets the foundation for a robust GHG emissions inventory, ensuring alignment with GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 standards.

Why Gathering Your Footprint is Crucial

  1. Precision in Climate Risk Assessments
    Multi-Hazard Mapping: By cataloging your office buildings, remote drilling sites, mines, and more, we can overlay location-specific hazards—hurricanes, wildfires, flood zones, etc.—onto each asset.
    Future Projections: Our climate models integrate with up-to-date satellite data to show how these hazards may intensify over time, helping you plan long-term resilience strategies.
  2. Accurate GHG Emissions Tracking
    Site-Specific Emission Sources: Each facility has its own carbon footprint drivers (e.g., heavy machinery, HVAC systems, transportation fleets). We use your data to build a GHG emissions inventory that’s precise and audit-ready.
    Protocol Compliance: We incorporate recognized methodologies from GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, ensuring global credibility and consistency.
  3. Tailored Solutions Across Your Portfolio
    Asset-Level Insights: Understanding each facility’s climate risks and emission hotspots enables more focused strategies—like adding flood barriers or optimizing energy use.
    Cost-Effective Mitigation: By targeting the most vulnerable or emissions-intensive sites first, you maximize ROI on your sustainability and risk mitigation efforts.

How We Gather Your Operational Data

  1. Facility Inventory
    Upload Site Details: Provide addresses, facility types (e.g., offices, drilling sites, warehouses), and relevant operational metrics (e.g., energy consumption, production volumes).
    Automated Verification: Our platform cross-references your entries with satellite imagery and public datasets to confirm locations and sizes.
  2. Data Augmentation
    Industry-Specific Assumptions: If certain metrics are unavailable, we apply standardized emission factors and hazard profiles from Step 1, tailored to your specific industry.
  3. Quality Assurance
    Checks & Balances: We compare your footprint data against sector benchmarks to identify inconsistencies.
    Consistency & Completeness: By ensuring each site’s climate hazard exposure and GHG emissions are systematically recorded, you’ll have a comprehensive and ISO 14064-compliant dataset.

Key Benefits of a Detailed Footprint Inventory

  1. Holistic Risk Mitigation
    25+ Hazards Analyzed: From extreme storms to wildfires, you’ll see each facility’s unique climate vulnerabilities.
    Proactive Adaptation: Knowing which sites face the highest threats allows you to invest in storm-hardening, flood defenses, or fire-proofing measures wisely.
  2. Transparent Carbon Accounting
    GHG Protocol Alignment: Every emission source is tracked in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
    Stakeholder Engagement: A well-documented carbon footprint and climate risk profile can be shared with investors, regulators, and customers to demonstrate corporate climate accountability.
  3. Future-Ready Sustainability Planning
    Scenario Modeling: With site-specific data, we can project emissions trends and climate impacts under multiple future scenarios.
    Strategic Decision-Making: Optimize your supply chain, operations, and capital investments by incorporating both climate risk and GHG reduction insights.
