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.
"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."— Hamish Pitt, Managing Director, Advanced Coated Products Ltd
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.
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.
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.
| Benefit | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Annual Carbon Assessment | Second-year emissions measured using consistent methodology to track real reductions |
| Scope 1 & 3 Reduction | 41.5% drop in Scope 1 and 31.5% in Scope 3 emissions through targeted operational improvements |
| Carbon Neutral Certification | Scope 1 and 2 emissions fully offset and certified under ISO 14068-1 standards |
| Carbon Offset Expertise | Supported ACP in sourcing and verifying quality carbon offsets aligned with UK standards |
| Emissions Reporting Clarity | Delivered board-level insights to support stakeholder communication and future net zero planning |
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.
