What is a carbon consultancy?
A carbon consultancy is a professional service that helps organisations measure, manage and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. A specialist UK carbon consultant collects your energy, fleet, travel, waste and supply-chain data, calculates Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard using current UK Government conversion factors, and produces compliance-ready reporting for SECR, PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plans, ISO 14068 carbon neutrality, EcoVadis, B-Corp and customer ESG questionnaires.
For UK SMEs, hiring a carbon consultant typically replaces the cost and time of training an in-house sustainability lead — most engagements run on fixed fees rather than day-rates, with a verified Carbon Footprint Assessment delivered in 4–6 weeks and a published Carbon Reduction Plan in 2–4 weeks. We work across construction, manufacturing, NHS supply chain and wholesale.

What Does a Carbon Consultant Do?
Read our full guide: What Does a Carbon Consultant Do? UK Guide 2026A carbon consultant works alongside your team to make carbon measurement and compliance straightforward. Here is what you can expect when working with we at The Carbon Stamp:
1. Collect & Verify Your Emissions Data
We provide structured data collection templates covering energy use (electricity, gas), business travel, fleet vehicles, waste, water, and supply chain spend. We verify data quality before calculating anything — errors at this stage are the most common cause of non-compliant reports.
2. Calculate Scope 1, 2 & 3 Emissions
Using the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and the latest DEFRA emission factors, your consultant calculates your full carbon footprint across all relevant scopes. For PPN 006 compliance, Scope 3 coverage is increasingly expected — we guide you through which categories are material to your operations.
3. Identify Reduction Opportunities
We analyse your emissions profile to identify the highest-impact, most cost-effective reduction actions — from energy efficiency and fleet electrification to supply chain engagement. We prioritise interventions that align with your business operations, not generic recommendations.
4. Deliver Compliant Reports & Carbon Reduction Plans
Whether you need a carbon footprint report for ESG disclosure, a PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan for procurement, or SECR compliance documentation, your consultant delivers publication-ready documents. Our reports are clear, evidence-based, and formatted to meet the specific requirements of each framework. Find out when you need a CRP consultant.
5. Provide Ongoing Strategic Support
This is not a one-off exercise. Your consultant supports annual updates, tracks progress against reduction targets, helps respond to customer or investor carbon questionnaires, and advises on emerging UK carbon compliance requirements. We build your internal capability alongside delivering expert guidance.
