TCS has launched a Carbon Accounting Service to help businesses in measuring, understanding, and reporting their carbon emissions.
The firm says this is aimed at addressing the increasing prominence of sustainability reporting across various sectors.
The service provides a framework for tracking emissions data over time through carbon footprint measurement and reporting support.
TCS said that while formal disclosure requirements often target larger organisations, smaller businesses are increasingly affected by supply chain demands and stakeholder expectations regarding environmental transparency.
This includes through carbon footprint measurement and benchmark performance analysis, the development of carbon reduction plans and net-zero pathways, and through offering support for impact assessments and sustainability-related communications.
Millie Goubert, the Operations Manager at TCS, said understanding carbon data is now a necessary component of business.
“Understanding carbon data, measurement and disclosure is no longer a ‘nice to have’ but an important part of being prepared for how businesses are asked to operate and report.”
“Businesses need a realistic starting point and support to understand what is expected of them.
“The earlier they begin to measure and understand their emissions, the better placed they are to start making a positive impact.”
