EnviroLink’s carbon footprint consultants help UAE and GCC companies measure, cut and report their emissions. We build your greenhouse gas inventory across Scope 1, 2 and 3, and then we turn the numbers into a clear plan to lower them. We work to ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol.
What Does a Carbon Footprint Consultant Do?
Why Do UAE Companies Hire Carbon Footprint Consultants?
Most firms call us for one of four reasons.
- UAE Climate Law. Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 asks most UAE firms, free zones too, to measure and report their emissions.
- EU CBAM. EU buyers of steel, aluminium, cement and fertilisers now need real carbon data from their suppliers. See our CBAM guide.
- Buyers and tenders. Many clients and green building projects ask for carbon data before they sign.
- Net zero goals. Boards, banks and investors now expect a clear carbon target and a plan to reach it.
Most teams lack the time or the skills to do this in-house, so a consultant gets you a sound result faster.
Our Carbon Footprint Consulting Services
We tailor each project to your goal, and most clients use two or three of these services.
| Service | What you get |
|---|---|
| GHG inventory | A full count of your Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to ISO 14064-1 |
| Scope 3 support | Supplier surveys and data checks for your biggest carbon source |
| Reduction roadmap | A ranked list of steps to cut carbon, with costs and savings |
| Target setting | Help to set science-based or net zero targets |
| Reporting support | Data and text for CDP, ESG and sustainability reports |
| Product carbon footprint | The carbon of one product to ISO 14067 (learn more) |
| Verification readiness | A pre-check of your data before an independent verifier reviews it |
How Does Our Consulting Process Work?
- Agree the goal. We confirm why you need the data, which sites to include and which year to measure.
- Collect the data. We send a simple checklist. Your team shares bills, fuel logs and supplier records.
- Calculate. We turn your data into tonnes of CO2e with trusted emission factors.
- Find the hotspots. We show which sites, fuels or suppliers drive most of your carbon.
- Plan the cuts. We rank the best steps by cost, carbon saved and ease.
- Report. You get a clear report your team, buyers and board can read.
If you need a certificate, we then prepare you for an independent verifier. Learn more on our carbon footprint certification page.
Carbon Footprint Consultant vs Verifier: What Is the Difference?
Many people mix up these two roles, but they do different jobs and you often need both.
| Role | What it does | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| Consultant | Measures, calculates and reports your emissions. Plans your cuts. | EnviroLink |
| Verifier | Checks the consultant’s work. Issues a statement or certificate. | An independent verification body |
Which Industries Do We Support?
- Manufacturers of building products, from steel to paints and panels
- Factories and plants with high fuel and power use
- Hotels, malls and office buildings
- Schools, colleges and public bodies
- Event organisers who want a low-carbon event
- Exporters who sell steel, aluminium, cement or fertilisers to the EU
How Long Does a Carbon Footprint Project Take?
Each project differs, so we quote after a short call and explain which factors set the time and cost.
| Factor | Effect on time and cost |
|---|---|
| Number of sites | More sites mean more data to collect |
| Scopes covered | Scope 3 adds the most work |
| Data quality | Clean bills and logs speed things up |
| Extra services | A roadmap or target adds time to the project |
Tip: If your supplier data is weak, measure Scope 1 and 2 first. Your Scope 3 figures can follow once your suppliers share better data.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a carbon footprint consultant do?
A carbon footprint consultant measures how much greenhouse gas your company releases. They also show where it comes from and how to cut it. EnviroLink builds your Scope 1, 2 and 3 inventory to ISO 14064-1. Then we give you a clear plan and a report your buyers and board can trust.
What is the difference between a carbon footprint consultant and a verifier?
A consultant measures your emissions, writes your report and plans your cuts. A verifier checks that work and issues a statement or certificate. The two roles stay separate to keep the result fair. EnviroLink acts as your consultant and supports you through any independent check.
How does the UAE Climate Law affect my company?
Federal Decree-Law No. 11 of 2024 took effect on 30 May 2025. It asks most UAE firms, free zones too, to measure and report their emissions and keep records for five years. A carbon footprint consultant like EnviroLink helps you build that data and keep it ready for each report.
Does every company need a full carbon footprint?
Most companies need a carbon footprint, but the depth depends on your goal. A small firm may only need Scope 1 and 2. A large exporter or a building product maker may need a full Scope 3 study. EnviroLink helps you pick the right scope for your goal and budget.
Can EnviroLink help us set a net zero target?
Yes. Once we know your footprint, we help you set a target that fits your sector and size. We can align it with the Science Based Targets initiative if your buyers ask for that. Then we build a yearly roadmap, so your team knows which steps come first.
How long does a carbon footprint consulting project take?
A first project often takes a few weeks. The time depends on your number of sites, the scopes you include and how clean your data is. Clean bills and logs speed things up. EnviroLink gives you a clear timeline after a short scoping call, before any work starts.
