We engaged aftooni to conduct a baseline carbon accounting review for our facility in Cambridge, Ontario. The first month focused on establishing Scope 1 and 2 emission inventories across our natural gas consumption, fleet fuel use, and purchased electricity. The team mapped our existing data sources — utility bills, meter logs, and fuel purchase records — and identified gaps in submetering for three production lines.
The audit report included a comparison of our current emission factors against the federal GHG reporting guidelines. We received a clear breakdown of which data streams met the verification threshold and which required additional metering before the next reporting cycle. The recommendations were specific: install sub-meters on the paint line and the compressed air system, and reconcile fuel receipts with engine run hours for the forklift fleet.
What stood out was the absence of generic advice. Every recommendation referenced a specific piece of equipment, a regulation, or a data gap we had flagged during the site walkthrough. The timeline for the next phase — Scope 3 upstream emissions — was laid out with concrete milestones and document requirements. No vague promises, just a schedule and a list of what we needed to prepare.
