This is an audited carbon footprint report.  You will be required to provide us with records to allow us to verify your data.  The quality and accuracy of the data will be verified.  The cost for an audited carbon footprint report is R8000 per report.

This is a sense-checked carbon footprint report, which means that the data and report is checked for general calculation errors, correct allocations and completeness.  If your dataset is of sufficient quality it will be allocated a B-grading and will be used in our benchmarking process.  The value of having your report sense-checked is approximately R3000 per report, depending on the complexity and quality of the data submitted.  CCC is currently providing this service at no additional cost.  This means if you have purchased a licence and generated your carbon footprint report, you can submit your data to us by completing the Google form by clicking on the folowing link: https://forms.gle/axJfxdshkV8tsMMH8

This is an unverified carbon footprint report.

Although general support in the use of the tool is provided free of charge, more detailed online and telephone support calls are available and will be charged at a rate of R1000 per hour.

On-site training and support can be provided at a daily rate of R8000, excluding travel and accommodation costs.

Our technical team can assist you in formulating your carbon strategy for your business. Please contact us at support@bluenorth.co.za for a cost estimate.

• Carbon dioxide (CO₂);

• Nitrous oxide (N₂O);

• Methane (CH₄);

• Sulphur hexaflouride (SF₆);

• Ozone (O₃);

• Chloroflourocarbons (CFCs)

• Hydroflourocarbons (incl. HCFCs and HFCs)
