California SB 253 · Scope 1 and 2
A filing you can defend.
Done before November 10.
We turn your utility bills, fuel records and CARB refrigerant reports into a Scope 1 and 2 filing that holds up. Every number is reviewed by a GHG professional against the GHG Protocol.
Example estimate · California grocer
About 120,000 tons.
Half of it is refrigerant.
Where it comes from
How precise it gets, using records you already keep
Four steps to a filed number.
Weeks of cleanup, done in days.
-
Step 1
Gather
Utility bills, fuel cards and your CARB refrigerant reports. Most of it already exists.
-
Step 2
Clean
Gaps, outliers and duplicate meters flagged on the first pass, not the last week.
-
Step 3
Validate
A GHG professional checks every judgment call against the GHG Protocol.

File
A CARB-ready Scope 1 and 2 report, documented so it is ready for assurance later.
You get a number first.
Before you send us anything.
We build a two-page estimate of your Scope 1 and 2 emissions from public data. It shows where the number comes from, and the one record that would sharpen it most.
Where your data already lives
Software does the sorting.

First year is good faith. CARB has said it will use enforcement discretion for companies making a good-faith effort.
The law is in court. Chamber of Commerce v. Sanchez is ongoing. We track it and will tell you if it changes your filing.
