Sward CarbonEmissions data you can confidently defend.
We help agri-food, brewing, and climate-tech businesses build rigorous greenhouse gas inventories, execute precise product life cycle assessments, and design credible carbon removal projects.
Three ways we build data that holds up under scrutiny.
GHG Emissions Accounting
(Scope 1, 2, and 3)
Get a clear, defensible picture of your company's emissions across your own operations and your full value chain. We build GHG inventories aligned with the GHG Protocol and, where relevant, SBTi FLAG guidance for land-based and agricultural emissions.
Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA)
Understand the environmental footprint of your product from raw material to shelf. Our LCA work follows ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, tailored specifically to agri-food and brewing products where ingredient sourcing, processing, and packaging determines the total impact.
Carbon Credit Project
Development Support
Turn emissions reductions in your supply chain into credible, market-ready carbon projects. We help businesses identify eligible interventions — from manure management to sustainable agriculture practices — and structure them for major voluntary carbon registries.
