How ACP Cut
Emissions by 35%
and Strengthened Their Sustainability Position
Helping UK manufacturers like ACP quantify emissions, reduce GHG impact, and achieve carbon neutrality through expert carbon footprint calculation and year-on-year emissions management.
Before Using The Carbon Stamp
Advanced Coated Products had no verified emissions baseline, which made it difficult to track progress or communicate carbon performance to stakeholders.
The team had no internal capability to conduct GHG calculations, relying instead on sustainability goals that weren't backed by data.
There was no formal offsetting strategy, meaning their environmental efforts didn't translate into certified carbon neutrality.
After Using The Carbon Stamp
ACP now has a fully compliant carbon footprint calculated across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, providing a strong foundation for measurable progress.
The business achieved a 34.97% reduction in total emissions, including major cuts to Scope 1 and 3 through targeted changes guided by our expert reporting.
ACP have achieved carbon neutrality for the second consecutive year, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions fully offset in line with ISO 14068-1 standards.
"Our sustainability agenda was clear—recycled content, biodegradable materials, renewable energy, and waste reduction—but we needed a way to turn that into measurable carbon targets. Enter Frazer from The Carbon Stamp, who provided expertise in carbon footprint assessment and carbon offset solutions, working with us over three months to drive positive decisions and future planning. I highly recommend them for their deep subject knowledge and incredibly helpful approach."
Certified Achievement
The successful completion of ACP's second-year carbon assessment represents more than just numbers—it demonstrates a genuine commitment to measurable environmental progress and stakeholder transparency.

The Company
Advanced Coated Products Ltd (ACP) is a UK-based manufacturer of specialised coated films serving industries like healthcare, food packaging, and industrial applications. As a forward-thinking supplier, they wanted to turn their sustainability ambitions into measurable outcomes to reinforce their market position.
The Challenge
To meet rising expectations from large customers and strengthen their sustainability position, Advanced Coated Products needed a verified carbon footprint and credible emissions data to back up their environmental commitments.
With sustainability now a key purchasing criteria for many of their customers, ACP required expert guidance to transform ambition into transparent, measurable, and credible climate action.
How The Carbon Stamp Helped
As part of their second-year collaboration, The Carbon Stamp conducted their annual carbon assessment to build on the foundation established in year one. We ensured full continuity in methodology, aligning with ACP's previous GHG reporting structure to deliver consistent, year-on-year insights.
We worked closely with their team to collect and validate updated Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data, identifying where the most significant reductions had occurred. The findings allowed ACP to see exactly where operational changes had delivered impact, and where further improvements could be made.
In addition, we provided full carbon offset advisory and helped ACP achieve carbon neutrality across Scope 1 and 2 for the second consecutive year, certifying them in line with ISO 14068-1. Our reporting also equipped their leadership with clear data for both internal planning and external stakeholder communication.

Looking Ahead
Advanced Coated Products is now focused on building momentum from two years of verified emissions reporting and certified carbon neutrality. With a clear emissions profile in place, the team is working toward a longer-term net zero strategy that includes supplier engagement and deeper integration of sustainability across operations.
Their priorities over the coming year include maintaining Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality, strengthening Scope 3 tracking, and embedding routine GHG reporting into management processes. With support from The Carbon Stamp, ACP continues to turn climate ambition into credible, measurable progress—keeping them ahead of customer demands and aligned with future environmental standards.
