Carbon reporting helps organisations measure, understand and reduce environmental impact. By tracking Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and Scope 3 where relevant (for example, customer or supply-chain requirements), we provide a clear, accurate picture of your carbon footprint and the practical steps needed to support Net Zero goals.
We combine expert analysis with automated data collection and reporting tools (where systems allow), giving you a faster, more reliable and less resource-intensive way to meet your carbon reporting requirements.
The aim is to make carbon data accurate enough to be trusted, but practical enough to manage.
We start by agreeing the organisational and operational boundaries, what is included, what is excluded, and why. This involves selecting the relevant scopes and emissions categories, deciding the level of detail required, and choosing the appropriate standards and methodologies. We also map out all data sources, owners and responsibilities to ensure a consistent and reliable approach from day one.
Next, we gather all necessary activity data from across the organisation, including energy use, fuel consumption, business travel and other relevant operational inputs. We apply the correct emission factors, clearly document assumptions and data gaps, and build a calculation model that can be easily updated annually or more frequently. This stage also highlights data quality issues and opportunities for improvement.
Finally, we translate the data into clear, meaningful outputs, dashboards, charts and summary reports tailored to different audiences. We identify emissions hotspots by site, activity, scope or business unit, and link insights to practical actions such as efficiency projects, procurement improvements and behavioural changes. Reporting is aligned with SECR, ESOS and wider net-zero strategies to ensure compliance and reinforce long-term sustainability goals.
Accurate, evidence-based insight into your emissions and overall environmental impact.
Where possible, automated systems reduce workload, improve accuracy and streamline reporting.
Practical recommendations and targeted strategies help you reduce emissions effectively.
Transparent reporting supports compliance and stakeholder expectations — while lower emissions often lead to lower energy use and operational savings.
Our team prioritises your satisfaction, providing personalised solutions and expert guidance to ensure a seamless experience that exceeds expectations every time.

Carbon reporting measures emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and relevant Scope 3 categories to give a complete view of your carbon footprint.
Carbon reporting supports:
ESG and tender submissions
DES ensures your reporting meets recognised standards and industry expectations.
Not necessarily. Scope 3 should focus on the most material categories first.
DES helps decide where to start and what to phase in over time.
Boundary setting and methodology
Data collection and validation
Scope 1, 2 and 3 calculations
Clear charts, dashboards and outputs
Integration with SECR, ESOS and net-zero
You receive a baseline that is accurate, practical and repeatable.
Yes — where metering or monitoring exists, DES can integrate live or near-real-time data into the emissions model.
Most organisations report annually, but quarterly or monthly tracking gives better insight for decision-making.
DES supports any reporting frequency depending on your needs.
