From Scope 1–3, Done Right

Credible audit, Scope 3 mapping, and a quantified decarbonisation plan with controls and evidence ready for assurance.

Scope 1–3, Measured and Managed—Built for HK & GBA SMEs

Hong Kong’s 2050 carbon-neutral target and China’s “30·60” dual targets make decarbonisation a business necessity. We deliver audit-ready Scope 1–3 inventories, a quantified roadmap, and supplier enablement—plus optional SBT-aligned targets and offset guidance—using local factors, controls, and evidence fit for assurance.

Comprehensive Carbon Audit
Audit-ready Scope 1–3 inventories with clear organisational/operational boundaries, local emission factors, and full evidence trails. Built-in QA (sampling, variance checks) and a reusable workbook make annual updates faster. Methods align with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1, with all assumptions and uncertainties documented.
Hotspot Analysis
Identify major emission drivers by site, process, fuel, and vendor. We quantify reduction potential to prioritise actions that deliver the biggest tCO₂e impact first.
Scope 3 Mapping & Supplier Enablement
Screen the 15 categories, rate data maturity (activity/spend/proxy), and launch a tiered supplier program for the key vendors with simple evidence packs.
Decarbonisation Roadmap Development (6–36 Months)
A ranked plan with each measure’s tCO₂e impact, difficulty, CAPEX/OPEX, and milestones—split into Quick Wins, Core Measures, and Strategic Moves.
Energy & Facilities Efficiency
Walk-through audits and project specs for HVAC, compressed air, boilers, lighting, and controls. We prioritise measures with short implementation cycles and verifiable savings.
SBT-Aligned Targets
Set near-term targets aligned with 1.5 °C pathways and prepare SBTi forms when needed. SMEs can start “SBT-aligned” internally first and decide later on formal validation.
Logistics & Mobility Optimisation
Route optimisation, load factor, low-carbon freight options, and EV transition planning for fleets and last-mile.
Low-Carbon Procurement & Materials
Introduce supplier clauses, EPD-based material choices, and spend-based screening to cut embedded emissions in purchases and packaging.
Offsets & Claims Governance
When reductions are maximised, curate high-quality credits (additionality, permanence, no double counting) and provide compliant claim wording for communications.

Our Streamlined Process for Effective Carbon Management

At ThECO Link Limited, we’ve developed a structured approach to carbon management that ensures clarity and tangible results for your SME. Our process is designed to be efficient, transparent, and aligned with your business goals, leading to sustainable reductions in your carbon footprint.
  • Kickoff & Boundaries: Define project scope and organizational boundaries.
  • Data Intake & Emission Factors: Gather data and select appropriate emission factors.
  • Calculation & QA Review: Calculate emissions and ensure data quality.
  • Hotspots & Opportunity Register: Identify key emission sources and reduction opportunities.
  • Roadmap: Develop a cost-effective reduction plan with clear responsibilities.
  • Track & Improve: Monitor progress and refine strategies for continuous improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our carbon management services and sustainability solutions.

A management system that measures, reduces, and governs your organisation’s greenhouse-gas emissions across Scopes 1–3—turning data into prioritised actions, targets, and accountable reporting.

Because buyers, banks and landlords are already asking for Scopes 1–3 data, targets and supplier action. Hong Kong’s 2050 carbon-neutral goal and Mainland China’s 30·60 pathway mean tenders, leases and financing will increasingly depend on credible data and plans.

Clear organisational/operational boundaries, local emission factors, evidence trails (bills, meter logs, fuel records), and QA (sampling/variance checks). Methods aligned to GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1/-3, with assumptions and uncertainties documented.

Screen all 15 categories, then prioritise 6–10 material ones. Use a data-maturity ladder (activity ▸ spend ▸ proxy), launch a tiered supplier programme (first 20–50 key vendors), and upgrade data quality annually instead of attempting perfection in year one.

Build a cost-curve: for each measure, estimate tCO₂e abatement, CAPEX/OPEX, payback/IRR where relevant, and non-financial benefits (compliance risk, resilience, brand). Prioritise Quick Wins → Core Measures → Strategic Moves and align with funding options (green loans, utility programmes).
