Emissions data can pass assurance early: Dyno Nobel’s first global audit covered 1.6 million tonnes of Scope 1 and 2 emissions on five continents, a year before Australia’s deadline.
Fewer, more automated emission factor sources saved time and delivered a clearer audit trail. Sime cut 24 emission factor databases to 4, and maintenance fell to near zero.
Scope 3 is most of the footprint (over 98% at Ohmium, 99% at iNova Pharmaceuticals), so the biggest cuts sit in products, packaging and suppliers.
The data now pays its way: Sime reports a positive return on investment, Dyno Nobel’s product data gives it an edge with buyers, and Tetra Pak uses product footprints in customer conversations.
Your auditor wants evidence behind every emissions figure. Under Australia’s mandatory climate reporting rules, companies in scope need limited assurance over their Scope 1 and 2 emissions from their first report. Your customers want product footprints. Your site data arrives in spreadsheets, once or twice a year, from a dozen countries.
These five mining, industrial and manufacturing companies faced the same gap. Each one built an emissions baseline it could defend, found where most of its emissions sat, and acted on it.

Result: limited assurance over 1.6 million tonnes of global Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2025, a full year ahead of the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) deadline.
Business outcome: Dyno Nobel used the lead time to fix data quality issues. Its internal benchmarking shows its product-level emissions are typically lower than generic emission factors from ecoinvent, a widely used life cycle database, which gives it an edge with buyers trying to cut their own Scope 3. The audited data underpins its targets to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25% by 2030 and 50% by 2036, against a 2020 baseline.
Dyno Nobel, listed on the ASX, makes commercial explosives and blasting technology for mining, quarrying and construction, and employs more than 5,500 people.
“The most significant achievement Terrascope helped us with was completing a global scope 1 and 2 limited assurance audit, something we’d never done before, using consolidated data from our operations across five continents including the Americas, Australia, Europe and Asia. We are extending this to limited assurance of global scope 3 and reasonable assurance of scope 1 & 2 in 2026.”
Karen Durand, General Manager Global Sustainability at Dyno Nobel

Result: about 50,000 emissions data points expected in FY26, up from about 3,000 in FY25, with the same team effort.
Business outcome: Sime reports a positive return on investment, driven by stronger data quality, more confidence in its reported figures and insights that inform its decarbonisation work. The team now spends more time on decarbonisation strategy, and energy, waste and water dashboards give executive leadership a quarterly view.
Sime, listed on Bursa Malaysia, sells and services vehicles and industrial equipment from about 600 sites in 18 countries and territories.
“Terrascope has enabled us to consolidate, track and manage our GHG emissions in a more structured and consistent way.”

Result: a full Scope 1, 2 and 3 footprint in 15 weeks, and 10 high-impact ways to cut it.
Business outcome: Ohmium now has a transition plan that supports its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) submission. Staff who took part in the workshops backed the actions.
Ohmium, headquartered in the United States, designs, makes and deploys proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers, which produce green hydrogen. It manufactures in India and has projects in more than 30 countries.
“Terrascope made it easier for us to measure and understand our emissions. The platform and guidance enabled us to gather data more readily.”
Ashwin Varma, Chief Operations Officer, Ohmium
Result: its first complete, audit-ready Scope 1, 2 and 3 baseline, for FY23, mapped across more than 700 products.
Business outcome: a cost-benefit model of options such as switching packaging and optimising transport lets iNova Pharmaceuticals weigh return on investment alongside emissions. It met packaging reporting rules in Singapore, Vietnam and Australia and is now assessing new packaging formats and logistics with a priority group of suppliers.
iNova Pharmaceuticals, headquartered in Singapore, sells over 1,100 products in more than 75 markets, made by third-party manufacturers.
“Terrascope made it easy for our team to understand our emissions footprint and how we stacked up against industry peers. Their insights helped us focus on what really matters.”
Paul Smith, Chief Operations Officer, iNova Pharmaceuticals
Result: product carbon footprints for 16 products in one month. Fifteen came in between 2% and 88% below industry-standard packaging.
Business outcome: Tetra Pak uses verifiable product-level data in conversations with prospects and customers, which helps it attract new customers and strengthen relationships with existing ones.
Tetra Pak makes food processing and packaging solutions used in more than 160 countries. This project was with its business in Japan.
