A UK carbon management consultancy based in Basingstoke, Hampshire, that helps organisations measure, report on and cut their emissions, with its own software.
Carbon Footprint Ltd describes itself as the UK's original carbon management experts. It helps organisations measure how much carbon they produce and plan how to reach net zero. Its services include carbon, product and supply-chain footprinting, target setting, verification and assurance, and carbon offsetting and credits. It also helps with compliance, such as the UK's ESOS and SECR energy and carbon reporting rules, and with airport and airline schemes. It makes software called Sustrax, runs a Carbon Marketplace and a credit rating service for carbon credits, and runs the Carbon Academy for training.
Its website says the company was founded in 2004, while the team page says that John Buckley, chief executive, co-founded it in 2005; we have not resolved the one-year difference. The company says its aim is to give businesses the technology and expertise to manage their path to net zero. It emphasises a personal approach, plain language with few acronyms, transparency, and fuss-free, cost-effective work. It launched and runs the Freedom Flight Prize, which backs the development of zero-carbon passenger aircraft.
The company's address is Belvedere House, Basing View, Basingstoke, Hampshire RG21 4HG. It is registered in England and Wales and holds ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certification, and belongs to professional bodies including IEMA and the BSI Associate Consultancy Programme. Its named clients include Mace, Hiscox, Schuh and a number of local councils, such as Corsham, Rushmoor and Cirencester Town Councils. The company chairs the Sustainable Business Network in its region.
The team page names John Buckley as chief executive and co-founder, Dr Wendy Buckley as business development director and co-founder (she has a physics background), Dan Hill-Morriss as head of sales, and Myles Howard as head of development and Sustrax product manager. It says every consultant holds a degree in environmental management, science or engineering, with many holding MSc or PhD degrees, and some are accredited verifiers for airport carbon schemes or lead assessors for ESOS. Staff are shown volunteering at a UK tree-planting project. These are the company's own descriptions.
Teams here include environmental consultants and climate change engineers, a software development team that builds Sustrax, sales and business development staff, and project managers, since each client has a dedicated one. A science, engineering, environmental management or software background is relevant, and people with strong communication skills help explain technical subjects in plain language. The company's website is the place to look for current roles.
