Frequently Asked Questions

The best starting point is understanding where you currently stand. We'd begin with a conversation about your business, then help you measure your emissions and energy use. From there you have something concrete to work with — and a clear picture of where the biggest opportunities are.

Carbon neutral means balancing the emissions you produce by funding projects that remove or reduce the same amount elsewhere. Net zero goes further — it means cutting your actual emissions as close to zero as possible, with only a small remainder offset. Offsetting is simply the act of funding those external projects, such as tree planting or renewable energy schemes. Net zero is generally considered the more credible, longer-term goal.

You'll need to gather data on your energy use, travel, fuel, waste and supply chain activity. It sounds daunting but we guide you through the whole process, help collect the data and do the calculations. Most organisations are surprised by how achievable it is with the right support.

It's a document that sets out where your emissions come from today and what actions you'll take to reduce them over time, with clear targets and timelines. It's increasingly required for public sector tenders and funding applications, and it gives your business a practical roadmap rather than just a number to stare at.

It varies depending on the size of your organisation and the scope of work involved. We're transparent about costs from the outset and tailor our proposals to what you actually need — we don't offer one-size-fits-all packages. Get in touch and we'll give you a clear indication quickly and with no obligation to go ahead.

Not at all. We work with organisations of all sizes, from small businesses to large public sector bodies. Our approach is always scaled to what's practical and affordable for you.

Yes, this is something we deal with regularly. Whether it's a retailer asking for your product carbon footprint, a customer requesting your emissions data or a tender requiring a carbon reduction plan, we can help you respond accurately and confidently.

Scope 1 is emissions you produce directly — fuel burned on site, company vehicles, refrigerants. Scope 2 is the emissions from the electricity and heat you buy. Scope 3 is everything else in your value chain — goods you purchase, how your products are transported, business travel, waste and more. Scope 3 is often the largest category and the least well understood.

Yes. With scrutiny of green claims increasing — and new regulations coming — it's important that any sustainability statements are backed by real data and methodology. We can review what you're saying, identify where claims need strengthening or evidencing, and help you communicate your sustainability story accurately and credibly.

A clear picture of how your site uses energy, where it's being wasted and what you can do about it. You'll receive a practical report with prioritised recommendations — from low or no-cost quick wins through to larger capital investment options — each with indicative costs, savings and carbon reductions so you can make informed decisions.
