Environmental / Sustainability
JCO helps organizations operationalize sustainability—turning raw activity data into decision-ready insights for reporting and reduction.
We design lightweight data pipelines, standardized models, and governance so ESG metrics are consistent, auditable, and actionable across teams.
SOLUTION OFFERINGS
Carbon Calculator
measure organization-wide emissions with standardized, auditable methods
The Carbon Calculator consolidates activity data (energy, travel, logistics, procurement) and applies recognized emission factors to quantify Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions.
JCO designs the data model, ingestion pipelines, and governance so results are consistent, traceable, and ready for reporting and reduction planning.
Data Ingestion & Modeling
Capture activity data from ERP, utility bills, IoT, and supplier files.
Normalize units and timeframes (kWh, liters, ton-km) into a common model.
Map sources to Scopes 1/2/3 with clear ownership and boundaries.
Dashboards & Reporting
Scope and category views with trends, intensity metrics, and targets.
Export packs for management reviews and external disclosures.
Role-based access for sites, regions, and business units.
Emission Factors & Calculations
Apply authoritative factors (e.g., grid intensity, fuel, materials) by region.
Version and timestamp factors to preserve historical comparability.
Handle residual mix vs. market-based where applicable.
Data Quality & Auditability
Scenario & Target Setting
Model interventions (renewables, efficiency, route changes) and forecast impact.
Track progress against internal goals and science-aligned trajectories.
Surface abatement cost curves to prioritize actions.
Data Quality & Auditability
Validation checks (completeness, duplicates, outliers) at ingestion.
Lineage, change logs, and approvals for every calculation.
Evidence repository for invoices, meter reads, and supplier attestations.
Supplier & Category Coverage
Hybrid methods (spend-based, supplier-specific, activity-based) for Scope 3.
Supplier data requests with templates and quality checks.
Category completeness tracking to reduce estimation gaps.
KEY BENEFITS
Get reliable, decision-ready emissions data—so you can act, prove, and improve.
Consistent, auditable results
via standardized models, factor versioning, and full data lineage.
Faster reporting cycles
with automated ingestion, validations, and exportable disclosures.
Clear reduction pathways
through scenario modeling, target tracking, and abatement insights.
Broader Scope 3 coverage
using hybrid methods and structured supplier data collection.
SOLUTION OFFERINGS
Lifecycle Assessment (LCA)
evaluate cradle-to-grave impacts for products, services, and processes
Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) quantifies environmental impacts from raw material extraction to end-of-life.
JCO builds data models, system boundaries, and calculation workflows aligned to ISO 14040/44 and GHG Protocol Product Standard, delivering defensible Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) and broader impact categories (e.g., water, energy, waste).
Set study objectives and functional unit (e.g., per unit produced, per km).
Define system boundaries (cradle-to-gate/grave, cut-off rules, allocation).
Select impact categories (carbon, water, eutrophication, acidification).
Goal, Scope & Boundary Definition
Impact Assessment & PCF
Calculate midpoint indicators (incl. COâ‚‚e for PCF per ISO 14067).
Differentiate location-based vs. market-based electricity where relevant.
Perform sensitivity checks on key drivers (yield, energy mix, transport).
Inventory Data & Data Quality
Collect primary data from manufacturing, logistics, and suppliers.
Use secondary datasets (industry LCI databases) where gaps exist.
Apply data quality scores (temporal, geographic, technological fit).
Scenario Analysis & Hotspotting
Identify hotspots across materials, energy, packaging, and transport.
Model improvement scenarios (material swaps, recycled content, routes).
Estimate abatement potential and cost implications.
Modeling & Assumptions
Map process flows with inputs/outputs, coproducts, and waste.
Allocate burdens (mass, energy, economic) transparently.
Document assumptions for reproducibility and review.
​
Reporting, Review & Disclosure
Create audit-ready LCA reports with methods, data sources, and results.
Support critical review/verification where required.
Generate disclosure packs for customers, ecolabels, and RFPs.
KEY BENEFITS
Make credible, data-driven design and sourcing decisions that cut impact and cost.
Defensible product footprints
through ISO-aligned methods, documented assumptions, and data quality checks.
Clear hotspots and levers
by tracing impacts across materials, energy, logistics, and end-of-life.
Actionable improvement scenarios
with quantified reductions for materials, processes, and routes.
Faster, repeatable assessments
via reusable models, standardized boundaries, and structured datasets.
