“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.”
Carbon footprinting
Want to be a net zero business? Unsure how to go about it or even what it means?
Need a Carbon Reduction Plan to meet tendering requirements?
‘Carbon footprinting’, ‘carbon neutral’, ‘climate positive’, ‘net zero’ – the list of buzzwords gets ever longer. Our net zero business support is designed to help you understand and apply them to your business.
We can produce a carbon footprint for your business and help you develop a clear net zero commitment.
Our approach to carbon footprinting:
- follows international protocols
- emphasises the need to keep it manageable
- determinedly avoids all ‘greenwash’
Our package of support includes this 3-step process:
1. You complete our online carbon scoping assessment, so that we know what needs to be included in your carbon footprint
2. We develop a bespoke data collection spreadsheet for your business and in a video call, talk you through all of the data that needs to be gathered
3. We will calculate your carbon footprint using the business data you have gathered and send you an easy-to-read briefing paper, summarising your carbon footprint, providing recommendations for next steps and links to all of the resources you need.
And we’ll be available for any queries or problems that arise along the way.
If you are a certified Green Small Business, you can track your annual carbon footprint calculations alongside your action plan in our user-friendly portal.
Wondering how this relates to our environmental plan and certification package? Carbon footprinting is an action that we often include in our small business action plans and we provide high-level advice on how to go about it. This is often enough for most businesses, but some don’t have the time and or expertise to calculate their footprint.
