Verifiable data, not PR · ESG consultancy

What isn’t measured can’t be improved or reported.

Huella advises companies on materiality, carbon footprint and ESG reporting under international standards, so they can answer customers, investors and regulators with real data.

Industrial smokestack emitting smoke at sunset
Scope 1 emissions: the ones coming out of your own smokestacks. The easiest to see, not always the largest.

When a mid-sized US company measures for the first time, it usually finds that most of its emissions aren’t where it thought. They’re in its supply chain, third-party logistics or the energy it buys.

That’s why we don’t deliver image reports. We deliver documented methodology, traceability for every data point and a reduction plan with targets and deadlines an auditor can review.

The end goal is for your team to run the process on its own, year after year, without depending on a consultant forever.

FAQ

Before you book

Is ESG reporting mandatory in the US?

It depends on your type of company and the markets you operate in. Even where it isn’t required by law, more and more corporate customers and investors demand it.

What’s the difference between a report and a certification?

The report documents your ESG performance; certification is an external verification of that report, which we coordinate if you need it.

What size of company do you work with?

Mainly mid-sized and large companies with enough operating data for a meaningful measurement.

How long does the first report take?

The first full cycle takes three to five months, depending on the complexity of the business.

How do you protect our data?

We sign NDAs, and only the aggregated metrics you choose are ever published.

Do you work with any industry?

Yes. The methodology adapts to each sector’s processes and emission sources.
