Inventories and Strategies

To quantify and manage carbon footprints, SAIC helps a broad range of organizations develop greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, devise management strategies and plans, and provide accurate, high-quality reporting of GHG data.

Calculating GHG Emissions and Accurate Inventories

SAIC helps organizations address the complexities of accounting for GHG emissions. We develop accurate GHG inventories, also known as carbon footprints, using recognized methods and protocols. Because each organization is unique, we help define scopes, ownership boundaries, and materiality of GHG impacts on a case-by-case basis to verify that each inventory is complete and accurate.

SAIC also develops detailed, sector-specific GHG protocols that help business and industry markets accurately calculate emissions. This includes protocols for the oil and gas markets and electricity generation.

Comprehensive Response Strategies and Action Plans

After completing a full GHG inventory, SAIC helps customers develop comprehensive plans for modeling impacts of emerging legislation, forecasting future emissions, evaluating internal reduction options, and purchasing high-quality GHG offsets. To develop the plan, SAIC assesses a customer’s unique circumstances and provides comprehensive climate change response strategies that are tailored to their needs.

Effective Inventory Management Plans and Systems

SAIC works with organizations to design GHG inventory management plans that align with strategic objectives, encompassing desired voluntary and mandatory GHG reporting requirements. This includes developing or selecting a GHG inventory management system, defining a management approach, establishing quality assurance and quality control procedures, and documenting all methods and assumptions. SAIC also helps manage inventories over time and implement emissions-reducing projects that deliver results.

GHG Reduction Strategies through Capital Improvements

As a full-service architecture and DesignBuildSM provider, SAIC helps deliver the visions established in GHG management plans by implementing energy-efficient capital improvements. From increasing process efficiency to constructing new energy-generation facilities or switching to cleaner fuels, SAIC’s expertise in implementing sustainable and low-emission strategies helps deliver the necessary results.
