Total Climate Footprint™ and Super Pollutant Advisory
Reveal your full climate impact and get expert guidance on where to take action for the greatest climate ROI.
Driving Smarter Climate Mitigation with More Data and Super Pollutant Advisory Services
Total Climate Footprint is a comprehensive assessment of your organization’s full climate impact that calculates everything in a typical carbon footprint plus all super pollutants including heat-driving air pollutants like soot and smog precursors. This includes your heat print — an added layer of heat impact analysis from your organization’s emissions. We deliver insights to drive strategic mitigation planning over critical near-term timeframes such as the next five, 10, and 20 years.

Fast-Track Your Climate Progress
Traditional carbon footprints undervalue nearly half of today’s global warming drivers which means you’re flying blind. A Total Climate Footprint, enhanced with your heat print, reveals the full emissions picture to help you:
- Identify the most near-term heat drivers across operations and supply chains
- Compare and prioritize the most impactful mitigation solutions for your business
The SCS Consulting Services Advantage
Developed by SCS Global Services' Global Heat Reduction Initiative, Total Climate Footprint is built on the Total Climate Accounting™ framework — a transformative approach to measuring climate action that captures the full range of heat drivers from carbon dioxide to super pollutants, across all time scales. Organizations can now prioritize investments with the greatest climate return per dollar spent and deliver immediate local benefits.

FAQS
- What is a Total Climate Footprint?
A Total Climate Footprint is a comprehensive assessment that calculates all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and super pollutants – including those that drive heat and pollution, like soot and smog precursors – across your organization’s operations. It goes beyond traditional carbon accounting by also calculating your heat print, which quantifies the direct heat impact of your emissions on the environment. This gives you a full picture of your climate impact and helps you target the most effective mitigation investments.
- Who needs a Total Climate Footprint and what industries do you serve?
Any organization seeking to understand and reduce its climate impact can benefit from a Total Climate Footprint assessment. This includes companies, governments, and NGOs across all sectors including energy, manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and more.
- What results can I expect from a Total Climate Footprint consultation?
- A full picture of all greenhouse gases plus other heat drivers throughout your operations
- A comparative analysis of mitigation options by heat impact and air quality benefits
- How long does a Total Climate Footprint take?
Timelines vary based on:
- The complexity and size of your organization’s operations
- The availability and quality of emissions data
- Any additional requests needed to refine the dataset (e.g., emission control measures)
- What is the difference between the Total Climate Footprint service and conventional carbon accounting services?
The Total Climate Footprint service is unique because it calculates not only greenhouse gas emissions, but all heat-driving pollutants – providing both a complete emissions footprint and a detailed heat print. Our approach uses the Total Climate Accounting™ framework, enabling organizations to see the full impact of their activities and prioritize actions that deliver the greatest climate return per dollar spent.
- How do you handle data security and compliance during the creation of a Total Climate Footprint?
GHR data security and compliance practices are outlined in the Global Heat Reduction Standard – Quantification and Reporting of Organizational Level Inventories and Footprints. These practices include:
- Confidential handling of GHG and SLCP emissions data.
- Alignment with international standards and audit requirements. GHR is program netural. If a GHG program is applicable, the requirements of the program are included.
- Science-backed emissions factors and radiative efficiencies sourced from primary data, peer-reviewed scientific sources, and IPCC assessment reports.
- Assurance-ready outputs
- What is the pricing for a Total Climate Footprint?
There are several options to assess your heat impact, and the pricing varies depending on your selection. Please reach out to SCS Consulting Services to learn more about the pricing tiers.
- Can I see a demo of this service?
Yes, we are happy to schedule a demo of the Total Climate Footprint dashboard. Reach out to SCS Consulting Services to get started.
