The challenge
LSL Auctions is one of Ireland's leading property auction companies, operating across multiple auction categories including residential, commercial, and agricultural property. As a growing Irish SME operating in sectors increasingly scrutinised for sustainability performance, LSL Auctions needed to understand and document their carbon footprint both for internal awareness and to respond to emerging supply chain data requests from larger partners.
The challenge was practical: LSL Auctions did not have a sustainability team, a dedicated ESG function, or prior experience of carbon reporting. They needed a solution that could work with their existing data, required minimal overhead to set up, and produced a report they could stand behind.
The solution
LSL Auctions onboarded GreenKPO with a 30-minute walkthrough. Existing data, energy bills, vehicle records, and operational data, was uploaded into the platform. GreenKPO structured, classified, and calculated the emissions automatically against DEFRA and GHG Protocol emission factors, producing a Scope 1 and 2 baseline and identifying the key Scope 3 categories relevant to LSL's operations.
The entire process from onboarding to first completed report took under one working week.
The outcome
LSL Auctions now has a structured, audit-ready carbon baseline that can be updated annually and shared with supply chain partners and clients on request. The report is traceable to source data, methodology-referenced, and produced in a format designed for auditor review: not a spreadsheet, not a PDF with no supporting data, but a structured evidence-backed output.
In numbers
- Under 1 week from onboarding to first completed carbon report
- Zero ESG staff required: GreenKPO guided the process
- Scope 1, 2 and key Scope 3 emissions documented and traceable
- Audit-ready output suitable for supply chain disclosure
