Service Offerings

Scope 1, 2, 3, Emission Inventories

Whether this is your first emissions inventory or you’re you’ve been calculating your carbon footprint for a decade, we have you covered. Our experienced team of engineers and sustainability consultants have worked with small companies to fortune 500 leaders. We have significant experience in various sectors ranging from petroleum refining to dairy farms.

Regulatory Preparedness

From U.S. regulations such as California SB-253 and SB-261 to the E.U.’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), our team can perform regulatory applicability determination and analysis - providing you guidance on how to go from determining applicability through full process implementation. We also assist clients through data tie-out processes, validation, and internal audit.

Public Carbon Disclosure

Public disclosure has wide-ranging impacts on stakeholders, influencing market valuation, access to capital, regulatory compliance, competitive advantage, and overall reputation management . Our team is ready to refine your carbon inventory so it is not only accurate and transparent, but that the results are publicly communicated in a manner that reflects your company’s values.

Science Based Target Validation

Whether JBE develops your greenhouse gas inventory or you perform it in-house, our team has helped companies through Science Based Target and Net Zero Validation through SBTi. The process of validation typically involves, inventory refinement, collaboration with key stakeholders to select carbon reduction targets, developing a reduction roadmap, and tracking progress over time to help you achieve your targets.

Mass-Based Scope 3 Analysis

While many Scope 3 emission inventories are developed using an Economic Input Output (EIO) approach, the development of a carbon reduction strategy requires more granular analysis. JBE’s staff of process engineers and certified Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Certified Practitioners have the experience and process knowledge to refine your existing inventory and develop carbon reduction roadmaps that are achievable.

Raters & Rankers Score Improvement

Our team can assist with Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) metric disclosure through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) platforms, predict scores based on existing company framework, and recommend the required actions to improve one’s score. In addition to frameworks where data is provided to the platform, our staff can assist in helping you improve scoring from raters and rankers that mine from public datasets.
