Case study: Tire retailer improves data and compliance
A large tire retailer enhanced its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting through an assurance readiness assessment.
A large retailer with more than 10,000 employees specializing in the sale and service of tires and wheels. The company offers a wide selection of tires and wheels from various manufacturers, plus services such as installation, rotation, balancing, and flat tire repair.
The situation
The company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting needed to be enhanced to align with regulatory requirements, including upcoming climate regulations such as California’s SB 253. The company also wanted to prepare their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting for limited assurance in 2025.
Solution and results
Advisors conducted an assurance readiness assessment for GHG emissions reporting which included a comprehensive review of the client’s fiscal year emissions calculations across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, as well as its supporting inventory management plans.
The advisors’ final deliverable summarized and prioritized recommendations to enhance emissions calculations, ensuring alignment with the GHG Protocol and industry standard practices. This assessment helped the company identify documentation gaps, improve the accuracy and reliability of its data, and align its reporting with regulatory requirements.
With this guidance, the company gained a clearer understanding of key areas for improvement and actionable next steps to prepare for the required limited assurance under SB-253 in 2026.
