Our team is experienced with developing decarbonization pathways across multiple sectors, including the transportation and food industry. Giero has reviewed decarbonization plans and supported emission audits for scope 1 and scope 2 GHGs. Moreover, our team is experienced with operationalizing renewable energy credits within warehouse operations, and negotiating green lease terms with retail tenants. To that adds developing ESG strategy for a publicly listed clean technology royalty company.
Giero has supported multiple mining clients in evaluating the carbon and co-pollutant reduction potential of an advanced wastewater tailings treatment solution designed to mitigate emissions from tailings pond off-gassing.
The team is experienced in quantifying baseline and projected post-implementation emissions, covering both greenhouse gases and criteria air contaminants such as NOx, SOx, and VOCs. Using engineering-based calculations and emissions factor methodologies, we modeled lifecycle impacts—including energy requirements, reagent inputs, and operational changes—to assess net abatement effectiveness and avoided emissions.
Beyond technical quantification, Giero evaluated regulatory alignment and air quality compliance implications, identifying potential reductions in reportable emissions and environmental liabilities. Decision-support materials were developed to summarize emissions performance, implementation considerations, and strategic ESG implications.
This enabled executive leadership to assess the solution not only as an environmental initiative, but as a risk mitigation and value-enhancing investment aligned with long-term sustainability commitments.
For publicly listed retail companies, Giero has led enterprise-wide greenhouse gas inventory development, mapping operational and value chain emission sources across stores, distribution centers, corporate offices, and logistics networks.
Accordingly, our team is experienced with quantifying Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions through detailed analysis of fuel consumption, refrigerant leakage, and purchased electricity, consolidating energy data across extensive property portfolios. Giero also identified and estimated material Scope 3 categories, incorporating supplier emissions, upstream transportation, waste streams, and relevant use-phase considerations.
To address data variability and reporting complexity, Giero developed advanced measurement and estimation methodologies, including gap-filling techniques, accrual models for incomplete utility data, and normalized intensity metrics such as emissions per square foot and per revenue. Giero established emissions baselines and supported public disclosures aligned with International Sustainability Standards Board standards and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations, as well as securities regulatory requirements. The outcome was a robust, audit-ready inventory framework enabling transparent reporting and strengthened investor confidence.
We have partnered with dozens of electronic waste management companies to quantify lifecycle emissions and evaluate circular economy strategies. Leveraging existing Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) and supplier-provided lifecycle data, we established baseline embodied emissions associated with electronic asset manufacturing.
Our analysis extended to end-of-life processing emissions, including collection, transportation, dismantling, shredding, and material recovery activities. We then modeled avoided emissions attributable to refurbishment and life extension, comparing reuse scenarios against new device production using lifecycle assessment methodologies.
By evaluating net environmental performance across reuse, recycling, and disposal pathways, we provided a data-driven foundation for strategic positioning within the circular economy. All emissions quantification and lifecycle documentation were prepared in alignment with International Organization for Standardization standards ISO 14064 (GHG accounting and reporting) and ISO 14044 (lifecycle assessment methodology), ensuring transparency, methodological robustness, and verification readiness.
