ESG and Carbon Management Consulting
We support companies and professionals in the strategic management of carbon emissions and ESG reporting. From measurement to offsetting, with a technical and transparent approach.
Measure before offsetting
Helvetic Impact adopts the internationally recognized framework: reducing emissions at source is always the priority. Offsetting covers residual emissions that cannot be eliminated in the short term.
Emissions Analysis
Scope 1, 2 and 3 · GHG Protocol · ISO 14064
Accurate emissions measurement is the starting point of any credible climate strategy. We produce a complete inventory according to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and ISO 14064-1.
What is included:
- Scope 1 (fuels, fleets, plants)
- Scope 2 (purchased electricity, heat)
- Scope 3 (suppliers, transport, sold products)
- Official emission factors by sector and geography
- Verifiable documentation for audits
- Detailed final report
For whom:
Companies that need an emissions baseline, responding to supply chain requests, or starting a pathway towards carbon neutrality.
Reduction Strategy
Strategic report · Roadmap · Operational recommendations
Starting from the emissions inventory, we identify areas with the greatest improvement potential and define a concrete roadmap towards carbon neutrality.
What is included:
- Priority intervention areas by volume and feasibility
- Reduction options by sector (energy efficiency, renewables, mobility)
- Short, medium and long-term objectives

Claim Support
