Clients access one coordinated service while ESAC coordinates the most relevant specialist divisions behind the scenes.
Detailed sub-services
What this service includes, how it is delivered and what clients receive.
Each sub-service below sets out the delivery approach, the typical software or platforms involved, and the outputs clients can expect at the end of the engagement.
01
GHG inventories & carbon accounting
Robust greenhouse-gas measurement that gives organisations a clear baseline for target-setting, disclosure and operational improvement.
Approach
We structure data boundaries, gather source information, apply recognised methodologies and build inventories that are traceable, reviewable and useful for decision-making.
Typical tools & platforms

Key deliverables
- Scope 1–3 inventory
- Data-quality log
- Boundary and methodology note
- Management dashboard
02
Decarbonisation pathways & transition planning
Actionable transition planning that connects technical opportunities, investment priorities and implementation sequencing.
Approach
Our teams model reduction scenarios, compare interventions, test cost and feasibility assumptions, and convert findings into staged decarbonisation pathways.

03
Climate risk, adaptation & resilience
Risk-based planning for climate exposure, operational resilience and adaptation readiness across assets and portfolios.
Approach
We combine hazard review, asset sensitivity assessment, stakeholder input and resilience planning to identify where action is most needed and how it should be prioritised.

Added value
What clients gain by working with ESAC.
This service is designed to create technical depth, clearer approvals pathways and stronger performance visibility across the full project lifecycle.
Decision-grade carbon data
Inventories are structured for management use, not just annual reporting.
Implementation-focused pathways
Decarbonisation planning stays grounded in feasibility, phasing and accountability.
Integrated resilience view
Climate risk is linked to assets, operations, governance and monitoring.
Clear performance visibility
Dashboards and reporting architecture keep environmental quality and climate actions visible.
