GHG accounting and reporting for a global alco‑bev major

 Client type (industry, region)

• Global alcohol & beverages company, South East Asia business
  unit.

Challenge, solution, outcomes (brief)

• The client had committed to science‑based climate targets but lacked a
  credible, audit‑ready baseline and clear decarbonisation pathway for a
  complex growth region. The co‑founder led the design and
  implementation of a centralised GHG accounting and pathway model
  covering Scope 1–3 and climate reporting. This created the first
  assurance‑ready baseline and turned climate work from annual
  reporting into ongoing operational planning.

Problem

• The South East Asia business unit was one of the group’s most
  complex regions, with a fragmented manufacturing footprint, limited
  primary supply‑chain data, and immature reporting infrastructure in
  high‑growth markets. Leadership had committed to science‑based
  targets but did not have confidence in the regional emissions numbers
  underpinning these commitments.
  Without a robust baseline and clear logic for decarbonisation, the
  region risked inconsistent disclosures, weak investor confidence, and
  difficulty prioritising climate investments across plants and markets.

Solution

• This work was led by TreeLynk co‑founder Inesh Singh in a previous
  role, before establishing TreeLynk.
• The team designed and implemented a centralised GHG accounting
  and decarbonisation model for the SEA business unit, including:

• • Asset‑level Scope 1 and 2 accounting.
  • Scope 3 modelling across key categories.
  • Integration with CDP and other climate reporting requirements.

• The programme introduced:

• • Standardised data structures across brands, assets, and
    geographies.
  • Repeatable accounting, hotspot analysis, and reporting
    workflows.
  • A structured set of carbon‑reduction levers and initiatives
    connected to the business planning process.
  • This shifted climate work from a once‑a‑year reporting exercise
    to an ongoing operational planning discipline.

 Results

• First region‑wide, audit‑ready Scope 1–3 baseline for the SEA
  business.
• Credible, consistent carbon reporting and improved readiness for
  investor‑grade disclosures.
• Repeatable workflows and upskilling of local teams in data collection,
  modelling, and interpretation.
• ROI‑based decarbonisation levers and initiatives identified, enabling a
  short‑ and long‑term pathway integrated into regional strategy and
  investment planning.
