A purpose-driven pet food company partnered with Energise to address and resolve complexity with their operations and supply chain. 

What They Needed

As a purpose-driven pet food company, they have challenges with the complexity of its operations and supply chain. Measuring carbon emissions, especially Scope 3, became increasingly difficult. Their existing approach relied heavily on assumptions and estimates, which limited the accuracy of their reporting and made it harder to identify meaningful reduction opportunities. 

To stay true to their values and meet their climate targets, they needed: 

  • A more accurate and transparent method for measuring greenhouse gas emissions. 
  • A way to integrate carbon data into product development and decision-making. 
  • A trusted partner to help them recalibrate their methodology and improve data quality. 

Energise's approach to GHG Reporting & Carbon Data Methodology

Following 2 years of earlier engagement, our partnership extended in 2024 to overhaul their GHG data collection and analysis. As a result, Energise provided: 

  • A new carbon accounting methodology that reduced reliance on estimates and improved data granularity. 
  • Supplier engagement to gather more accurate emissions data across the supply chain. 
  • Recalculation of historical emissions, including restating 2023 figures to for consistency and transparency. 
  • Support in embedding carbon measurement into product development, enabling smarter decisions on packaging material sourcing.

    This collaboration gave the customer their clearest carbon footprint to date. 

Consultancy results and impact

The work with Energise delivered measurable results: 

  • Improved accuracy: Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by a third, and carbon intensity dropped by around 40% since 2020. 
  • Greater transparency: Updated emissions data was shared publicly, reinforcing stakeholder trust. 
  • Strategic clarity: With better data, they could focus reduction efforts on high-impact areas like ingredients and packaging. 
  • Product innovation: Energise’s insights supported the development of lower-emission, plant-based recipes that aligned with both sustainability goals and consumer preferences. 

Why this service matters

A clear, well-structured GHG Reporting & Carbon Data Methodology can become a real advantage for a company, not just a compliance exercise. By measuring emissions accurately and consistently, a business gains a reliable picture of its environmental impact something stakeholders increasingly expect. With solid data in hand, leaders can identify where emissions come from, uncover cost-saving opportunities, and prioritise changes that deliver the greatest results.

This work also strengthens credibility. Transparent reporting builds trust with customers, investors, and partners who are looking for organisations that act responsibly and back their claims with evidence. It signals maturity, readiness for future regulations, and a commitment to long-term sustainability.

This service empowers a company to make confident decisions, reduce risks, improve operational efficiency, and demonstrate meaningful climate leadership.
