Carbon compliance services built for Quebec manufacturing SMEs

From a first-time readiness check to a complete emissions assessment and ongoing performance tracking, Vertalys offers three connected services designed around your buyers' requirements, your regulatory obligations, and your operational reality.

Why Quebec manufacturers are acting now​

EcoVadis & supply chain pressure​

Tier 1 industrial buyers are requiring primary GHG data from their suppliers, not just sector averages. Your score depends on what you submit.

ESG criteria in public tenders​

Government and industrial contracts increasingly include environmental evaluation criteria worth 10–30% of the total score. Without documented data, you’re losing points before the technical review starts.​

RSPEDE carbon pricing​

Quebec manufacturers subject to the carbon market need a rigorous GHG inventory to plan their compliance strategy before free allocations decrease further.​

Three services.
One connected journey.

Vertalys offers practical carbon footprint and sustainability tracking services tailored to the operational realities of Québec SMEs.

Each service is designed to solve a specific stage of the ESG reporting and sustainability management process.

01 — GHG Quick Scan

Your carbon situation mapped in one week

Not sure whether you need a full GHG assessment? The Quick Scan gives you a clear picture of your emission profile, your biggest carbon drivers, and exactly what a full assessment would involve, before you commit to one.

  • Preliminary emission profile and top carbon driver identification
  • Data readiness assessment (what you have vs. what you’d need)
  • Recommended next steps and applicable funding programs

Fully credited toward full GHG assessment if you proceed within 90 days.

02 — GHG Emissions Assessment

For Quebec Manufacturing SMEs

Your complete Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon footprint. Calculated, documented, and delivered in a professional report ready to submit to EcoVadis, industrial buyers, public procurement agencies, and financial institutions.

  • Full Scope 1, 2, and 3 calculation (GHG Protocol & ISO 14064-1)
  • EcoVadis and CDP Supply Chain alignment
  • Optional add-ons for deep supplier auditing and EU export compliance
  • Priority reduction action plan with Quebec funding programs identified

Optional add-ons available.

03 — Environmental KPI Dashboard

From a static report to a living management tool

Turn your GHG baseline into a living management tool. We build a custom dashboard tracking your key environmental indicators with quarterly updates and buyer-ready data always on hand.

  • Custom dashboard with 8 to 12 strategically selected environmental KPIs
  • Quarterly updates, synthesis reports, and strategy calls
  • Built on Excel, Google Sheets, or Power BI

Requires a completed GHG baseline assessment.

Most clients start directly with a GHG assessment if they have a clear, immediate need (EcoVadis deadline, tender submission, financing request). The Quick Scan is ideal if you’re exploring for the first time and want to understand your situation before committing to a full assessment.

The Typical Engagement Path

Most organizations begin with a carbon footprint assessment and later transition toward ongoing ESG tracking and performance monitoring.

Step 1
Establish your baseline

Establish a structured Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions baseline and identify the most significant operational and supply-chain impacts.

Step 2
Track your progress

Monitor your KPIs quarterly and always have current data ready for the next buyer request, tender, or financing review.

Step 3
Demonstrate credible improvements

Year-over-year show your buyers, investors, and stakeholders that your commitments are backed by consistent, independently analyzed data.

What's in scope VS what's not

Vertalys specializes in GHG emissions measurement and carbon performance tracking. We’re carbon specialists, not generalist ESG consultants. Here’s exactly what that means.

The Vertalys difference

Built for Quebec manufacturers

Our methodology, emission factors, regulatory references, and government program knowledge are built around Quebec's specific manufacturing context, not translated from a generic framework designed for large multinationals.

Methodology that holds up to scrutiny

Every assessment follows the GHG Protocol Corporate and Scope 3 Standards, uses official ECCC emission factors, and is documented for ISO 14064-1 compatibility. When your buyer's assessor reviews your report, it stands up.

Fully bilingual

All deliverables available in French or English. One of the few carbon specialists in Quebec operating at full professional depth in both languages, not just a translated interface.

Government funding available for eligible manufacturers

Several Quebec and federal programs can offset part of your assessment cost or fund the implementation of your reduction action plan. We identify applicable programs for every client as part of our standard deliverables.
