Question 1

How accurate is the timeline estimate?

Accepted Answer

The simulator gives an indicative roadmap based on the size, accounting setup, operational footprint and business model you select. Actual delivery depends on data quality and stakeholder availability.

Question 2

Does it cover Scope 1, 2 and 3?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The roadmap reflects Scope 1 and 2 baselining, plus the most relevant Scope 3 categories for your business model under the GHG Protocol.

Question 3

Is the result aligned with SECR or PPN 006?

Accepted Answer

The roadmap flags whether your business is in scope for SECR and outputs a RAG indicator for PPN 006 readiness, using DESNZ Factors for energy-related calculations.

Question 4

Do I need to enter my company website?

Accepted Answer

No. You can configure your inputs manually. Entering a website lets us pre-fill your profile so you reach a tailored result faster.

Question 5

Is this a quote?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a planning aid. For a defensible, audit-ready report covering Scope 1, 2 and relevant Scope 3, EcoHedge Express delivers in weeks, not months.

Question 6

Which reporting framework will the output map to?

Accepted Answer

The roadmap is built on the GHG Protocol, which underpins SECR, PPN 006, CDP, ISSB (IFRS S2) and CSRD. One robust dataset can be mapped to several frameworks, so you do not need a separate project per framework.

Question 7

What if our Scope 3 data has gaps?

Accepted Answer

We tier the approach: spend-based estimates against DESNZ Factors where you cannot measure, activity-based or supplier-specific data where it materially changes the result. Every assumption is documented so the report is defensible at audit and procurement review.

Question 8

How often should we re-run the report?

Accepted Answer

Annually, aligned to your financial year. Fix a base year, restate prior years if the boundary or methodology changes materially, and use the same methodology each cycle so year-on-year progress is comparable.

Question 9

Do we need third-party assurance?

Accepted Answer

Not for most voluntary SME reports, but it is increasingly expected for tenders above ~£5m, CDP submissions and CSRD-in-scope groups. We build outputs to assurance standards from day one so you can add limited assurance later without re-baselining.
