Not sure where your carbon emissions stand?
Start here.
The GHG Quick Scan gives you a clear, honest picture of your emission profile, your biggest carbon drivers, and exactly what a full assessment would involve.
One week. No surprises.
- $950 CAD
- Delivered in 1 week
- Fully credited toward your full assessment if you proceed
- French or English
Is the Quick Scan the right starting point for you?
The Quick Scan is for you if :
- You've heard about GHG assessments or EcoVadis but aren't sure yet if you actually need one
- You want to understand your carbon situation before investing in a full assessment
- You're starting to explore sustainability reporting options and want an honest, low-commitment first step
- You have a buyer or lender who mentioned GHG data but hasn't given you a formal deadline yet
- You want to know roughly what your emissions look like and what the biggest drivers are before making any decisions
The Quick Scan is NOT for you if :
- You've received a formal EcoVadis request with a submission deadline
- You're responding to a public tender closing within the next 6 weeks
- Your bank has requested a GHG report as part of a financing condition
- You're subject to RSPEDE and need a compliance inventory now
The Quick Scan is a preliminary diagnostic, not a submittable report. If you have a specific, urgent deadline, the full assessment is what you need.
An honest description of what you're getting
The Quick Scan is a preliminary diagnostic tool — think of it as a doctor’s consultation before ordering full lab tests. It tells you what the tests would likely show, which ones matter most for your situation, and whether you actually need them. It is not the lab test itself.
What the Quick Scan IS :
- A preliminary estimate of your likely Scope 1, 2, and 3 emission profile based on your sector, size, and publicly available data
- An identification of your probable top carbon drivers — where most of your emissions likely come from before any formal data collection
- An honest assessment of your data readiness — what information you already have and what you’d need to gather for a full assessment
- A clear recommendation on which service tier and add-ons make sense for your specific situation
- A preliminary overview of applicable Quebec and federal funding programs
- A practical, plain-language document your team can use to start an internal conversation about carbon performance
What the Quick Scan IS NOT :
- A formal GHG assessment submittable to EcoVadis, buyers, or financial institutions
- A calculation using your actual operational data (it uses sector-level estimates and public benchmarks)
- A document that meets GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-1, or any formal standard
- A substitute for the full assessment if you have real reporting obligations
- A third-party verified or audited emissions report
If you proceed with a full GHG Emissions Assessment (Service 02) within 90 days of receiving your Quick Scan, the $950 fee is fully credited toward your assessment. The Quick Scan effectively costs you nothing if you move forward.
Your Quick Scan deliverable
A 5 to 7 page diagnostic report
Preliminary Emission Profile
An estimated overview of your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions based on your sector, size, and publicly available benchmarks. Not a formal calculation — but a credible directional picture of where you likely stand relative to your industry peers.
Use it for : understanding your approximate carbon situation before committing to a full assessment
Top Carbon Driver Identification
The 3 to 5 emission sources that most likely drive the majority of your carbon footprint — before any data collection. For most manufacturers, this is a predictable mix of energy use, raw material procurement, and logistics. Knowing this upfront helps you focus your data collection efforts and prioritize internal conversations.
Use it for : deciding which add-ons make sense and where to focus your reduction efforts.
Data Readiness Assessment
An honest inventory of what data you already have (energy bills, production records, accounts payable) versus what you’d need to gather for a full assessment — and how difficult that data collection is likely to be given your operations.
Use it for : planning your internal data collection process and estimating the internal effort a full assessment would require.
Recommended Next Steps
A clear, personalized recommendation on which service tier (base assessment, add-ons, timing) makes the most sense for your specific situation — with honest reasoning. If the full assessment isn’t the right next step for you right now, we’ll tell you that too.
Use it for : making an informed decision about whether and when to proceed with a full assessment.
Preliminary Funding Program Overview
A first look at the Quebec and federal programs you may be eligible for — Fonds Écoleader, ÉcoPerformance, MADI, and others — with a preliminary assessment of your likely eligibility based on your sector and situation.
Use it for : understanding the financial support available before budgeting for a full assessment.
Simple, fast, low-effort
Delivered in one week
01
Kickoff Call (45 minutes)
Day 1
A focused conversation about your operations, your sector, your approximate size, and your buyers’ or lenders’ expectations. No data to prepare in advance — we ask the questions, you answer them. That’s the primary input for your Quick Scan.
02
Analysis & Report Preparation
Days 2-5
We use sector benchmarks, publicly available emission factors, and the information from your kickoff call to build your preliminary emission profile, identify your likely top carbon drivers, assess your data readiness, and develop your recommended next steps.
03
Delivery & Review Call (30 minutes)
Days 6-7
We deliver your Quick Scan report and walk through the findings in a 30-minute call — explaining what the results mean for your situation, answering your questions, and helping you decide on the right next step. No pressure, no upsell — just an honest conversation about what makes sense for you.
The Quick Scan is effectively free if you proceed with a full assessment.
If you complete a Quick Scan and decide to proceed with a full GHG Emissions Assessment (Service 02) within 90 days, the $950 Quick Scan fee is fully credited toward your assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Can I submit the Quick Scan report to EcoVadis or use it in a tender?
No — and we want to be very clear about this upfront. The Quick Scan is a preliminary diagnostic based on sector benchmarks and estimates, not a formal GHG assessment based on your actual operational data. It cannot be submitted to EcoVadis, used in a tender response, or presented to a financial institution. If you need a submittable report, go directly to the full GHG Emissions Assessment.
How accurate is the preliminary emission profile?
It’s directionally accurate — meaning it gives you a reliable sense of your approximate emission scale and your biggest drivers, but not a precise figure. Think of it as an order-of-magnitude estimate with a margin of error of roughly ±30–50%. That’s enough to understand your situation and make informed decisions, but not enough for formal reporting.
What if I decide not to proceed with a full assessment after the Quick Scan?
That’s completely fine — and we’ll tell you honestly if we think the full assessment isn’t the right next step for you right now. The $950 fee covers the Quick Scan as a standalone service. You’re under no obligation to proceed further. The credit toward the full assessment is available if and when you’re ready.
How is the Quick Scan different from the free scoping call?
The free scoping call is a 30-minute conversation where we discuss your situation, explain our services, and help you figure out which option makes sense. The Quick Scan is a paid, week-long engagement that produces a written diagnostic report with a preliminary emission profile, driver analysis, data readiness assessment, and personalized recommendations. The scoping call helps you decide whether to book the Quick Scan or go directly to the full assessment.
Can the Quick Scan be done in French?
Absolutely. The kickoff call, delivery call, and written report are all available in French or English — your choice.
