The Momentum Is Real

CSRD expands every year. Your customers are asking for Scope 3 data. Funding exists. Competitors are measuring their footprint. The window for first-mover advantage is now.

But most consultancies charge big-company fees for a service your SME can actually move on.

Altus bridges that gap. Carbon accounting and climate strategy from someone who's spent 15 years making sustainability work in the real world, translated into roadmaps you can actually follow.

80%
of sustainability consultancy costs can be covered by government grants for eligible Irish SMEs

What We Do

Three interconnected pillars: measure accurately, reduce strategically, implement with confidence.

📊

Carbon Measurement

Scope 1, 2 & 3 inventories aligned to GHG Protocol. We turn your utility bills, travel data, and supply chain into a credible baseline, not guesswork.

CSRD ready, CDP-aligned
🎯

Reduction Strategy

A prioritised roadmap showing where your biggest wins are. Costed, sequenced, and realistic. Built on data, not sentiment.

SBTi-aligned, net-zero ready
⚙️

Implementation & Reporting

Turn strategy into action. CSRD disclosures, annual reporting, monitoring dashboards, stakeholder engagement. We handle the frameworks so you can focus on the reductions.
