“As an environmental business, measuring our carbon footprint was essential. We can now use our Environmental Action Plan to work towards reducing our footprint across all areas of the business. Tim is highly knowledgeable and great at tailoring the process to meet your business’ requirements.”

The meeting we had with Tim really got us forward thinking in many areas we hadn’t previously considered. He really helped us focus & think of new ideas for the Business to lower our carbon footprint as much as possible. We had started involving carbon information for our staff & learners – now we feel we can move this forward to a higher more informative level. Thanks for all your help!”

“Having a baseline number for the carbon footprint of our business allows us to measure changes that we make to reduce this. Without an actual figure, it is easy to think that what we are doing is lessening our environmental impact, when it may not be having the kind of impact we hoped. Being certified will show that we are serious in reducing the environmental impact of the business – not just ‘greenwashing’.”

“Green Small Business certification will help decrease both the company’s and supply chain’s carbon footprint and it provides the credentials to support and develop our environmental policy.”

“We’re at the start of our Carbon reduction journey and Tim has helped to guide us through our first footprint measurement. We now have a much better understanding of the process and the data we need to include in our footprint, he has also helped us to identify improvements we can make to get better data for future measurements.”

“Being Green Small Business certified means that when we approach funders we can demonstrate our commitment to the environment. This is something that most funders and grant-making organisations require now. If we couldn’t demonstrate this it’s highly likely we would lose funding opportunities to competitors.”

“Being a Certified Green Small Business is the perfect way for us to communicate our environmental commitment and credibility to clients, employees, and other stakeholders.”

“The carbon footprinting service provided some really useful and interesting results. The emissions we now target were not those we expected to see so it’s been a really useful benchmarking exercise.”

“The Green Small Business process has been practical and helpful. The certification allows us to shout more loudly about all our efforts on sustainability.”

“We want to help our clients improve their own social footprint simply by using us as their catering partner. Being a certified Green Small Business supports our own credentials, and has helped us focus on certain aspects that we hadn’t considered previously.”

“Tim has given us the focus, structure and coordination that we needed to understand what net-zero is, how we are going to get there, and what our plan is. We hope to continue to work with him into the future.”

“The whole process was really smooth and simple and we are delighted with the results.”

“The Green Small Business approach gives us a structure to work with and aim for, rather than feeling the task of being green feeling too big to achieve and beyond our finances.”

“It was great to get some affirmation for our efforts up to this point. What we found useful was the extra research that Green Small Business did for us and pointing us in the right direction.”

“We decided to do it because it’s a good thing for the business and help save on costs. The process is really simple, straightforward and convenient”

Environmental management systems

We can help you to understand and manage your environmental impacts better.

Our streamlined approach to environmental management systems is ideally suited to SMEs. We can do all of the work for you or provide you with the tools to do it yourself, including our free guide

Environmental certification

We can help you to maximise the business benefits of your environmental management system.

We provide an independent, trusted, small business-friendly alternative to ISO 14001 accreditation. We use environmental management not as a compliance tool, but a way to support business change.

Carbon footprinting

We can help you understand what net zero means for your business and how you can get there.

Our approach to carbon footprinting follows international protocols, emphasises the need to keep it manageable and proportionate, and determinedly avoids all greenwash.

Training on environment and carbon

We can build the understanding of carbon and environmental management among your staff.

We run accredited training courses for business owners, managers and employees.

They can be accessed online or in-person.

Consultancy on environment & carbon

We have decades of experience of supporting businesses like yours to better manage their environmental impacts and reap the benefits of going green.

We can provide a bespoke consultancy package to meet your requirements.

Buildings and Energy

Through our partners we can offer independent, specialist advice on the energy performance of your buildings. With energy costs being a critical issue for many businesses, these services are in increasingly high demand.

We include general advice on buildings & energy as part of our environmental management systems package. When more in-depth advice is then needed, we can arrange ’greening’ assessments, renewable energy feasibility assessments & much more.
