A clear path to net zero - not just a report
Measuring your carbon is the easy part. Actually reducing it - credibly, affordably, and in a way that stands up to scrutiny - is where most organisations get stuck. We take you through the whole journey, from first footprint to funded delivery.
Carbon has become a commercial requirement
Carbon reporting and reduction are no longer a nice-to-have. Alongside established accreditations, many pre-qualification questionnaires now ask businesses to declare their carbon footprint and submit a Carbon Reduction Plan - including for public sector contracts under frameworks like PPN 06/21.
This is being driven by large corporations and public bodies with their own net zero targets, who increasingly demand transparency and action on emissions from their suppliers. Those expectations cascade down through supply chains.
The commercial reality is simple: failing to measure and reduce your carbon can now mean exclusion from contracts and supply chains. Carbon accountability has become a condition of doing business.
Where the pressure comes from
- → Tender and PQQ requirements for a Carbon Reduction Plan
- → Public sector procurement frameworks (PPN 06/21)
- → Customer and supply chain net zero commitments
- → SECR and wider regulatory reporting
- → Investor, board and stakeholder scrutiny
Four stages, from first footprint to funded delivery
Net zero is not a single project - it is a journey with clear stages. We guide you through each one, building capability as we go, so you are never left with a report and no idea what to do next.
Carbon footprinting
You cannot reduce what you have not measured. We build your carbon baseline across all three scopes, using the GHG Protocol - the direct emissions you control, the electricity you buy, and the value chain emissions that usually make up the bulk of the total.
Scope 3 - your value chain emissions - is the largest and most complex piece. It has its own dedicated approach, using three calculation methods matched to your data.
Net zero targets
A credible target is one you can actually hit, and defend. We help you set science-based, realistic net zero goals - grounded in your baseline, aligned to recognised methodologies, and broken into interim milestones so progress is measurable rather than aspirational.
Decarbonisation planning
Between a target and real reduction sits a plan. We build a practical decarbonisation roadmap - identifying the measures that will cut the most carbon for the least cost, sequencing them sensibly, and modelling the impact so you know what each step delivers before you commit.
For a multi-site hospitality group, that can mean a site-by-site feasibility study across an entire estate - assessing the decarbonisation options for each property and modelling what a whole-portfolio plan would deliver.
Decarbonisation implementation
A plan only matters if it gets delivered. This is where many consultancies stop - and where we do not. We help you put the roadmap into action, connecting you with the right technologies and delivery partners, and helping secure the funding that makes projects viable.
From measures like on-site generation and efficiency upgrades through to securing available funding, we help turn the plan into delivered projects - and track the carbon savings as they land.
The technology that keeps it all honest
Every stage of the journey runs on data - and data is only useful if it is accurate, current and comparable. Our platform elexi brings your energy and carbon data into one place, so the whole journey is built on a single source of truth.
It benchmarks your footprint against your industry, automates the reporting behind SECR and Carbon Reduction Plans, and tracks progress against your targets - so you always know where you stand, and can show it.
Build a net zero roadmap that is ambitious and achievable
Wherever you are on the journey - first footprint or ready to implement - tell us a little about your business and our carbon team will show you the practical next step.
Carbon footprints are measured in line with the GHG Protocol. Targets, plans and reporting are tailored to each organisation and its baseline. Funding availability and implementation options vary by project and location.
