How Do You Measure Emissions for Service Businesses?

Emissions Measurement for Service-Based Companies

Service businesses have a unique emissions profile, as their environmental impact typically comes from:

  • Office energy use (electricity consumption).
  • Business travel.
  • Purchased goods and services.

These emissions primarily fall under Scope 3 (value chain emissions) and are often calculated using spend data. Emitwise helps service businesses understand their emissions and identify opportunities for reductions, even in sectors where physical products are not the focus.

By measuring and managing your emissions, you:

  • Gain insights into your environmental impact.
  • Identify opportunities for cost savings through emission reductions.
  • Benchmark performance against others in your industry.
  • Demonstrate sustainability to clients.
