At Cameron-Cole we advise and assist our clients with climate change policy development, carbon footprint analysis, and all aspects of greenhouse gas (GHG) management, including inventory design, development, implementation, analysis, documentation, reporting and verification.  We also work to align GHG management with overall business strategy, craft GHG emissions reduction and carbon-neutral strategies and develop action plans to assist our clients in meeting their goals.  Cameron-Cole also advises our clients on the creation or purchase of emissions reductions credits, renewable energy certificates, and the implications of participating in the various carbon markets.  Equally important is our assistance with stakeholder engagement, public reporting and communication of climate-related issues and greenhouse gas-related performance for our clients.
