How we work
From retrofit delivery to verified carbon retirement — a complete carbon lifecycle.
Most organisations treat retrofit and carbon markets as separate conversations. We connect them. Every energy improvement we deliver generates measurable carbon savings — and we help you verify, report, trade, or retire those savings through accredited voluntary carbon markets.
Carbon baseline & footprint assessment
We establish a verified carbon baseline for your organisation, portfolio, or scheme — covering Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (purchased energy), and Scope 3 (value chain). Baseline data forms the foundation for all reduction targets, reporting obligations, and market participation.
Carbon reduction planning — Tier 1 & Tier 2
We develop structured Carbon Reduction Plans to PPN 06/21 specification — required for all public sector contracts above £5m from April 2024. Plans are tiered by complexity and reporting requirement, with Tier 1 covering basic commitments and Tier 2 providing full Scope 1, 2, and 3 detail with verified reduction pathways.
Retrofit delivery & carbon monitoring
Every retrofit measure we install — insulation, heat pumps, solar PV, LED lighting — generates a quantified carbon saving. We monitor and verify performance against design targets, producing auditable carbon saving evidence for reporting, compliance, and voluntary carbon market registration.
Carbon funding & finance
We identify and structure carbon finance to part-fund or fully fund retrofit programmes — including voluntary carbon market revenue, social value funding, Local Authority Delivery grants, and green asset finance. Carbon savings generated by improvements can be forward-sold to fund the works that create them.
Carbon retirement brokering & placement
For organisations needing to offset residual emissions on the path to net zero, we broker access to verified carbon credits from accredited registries — Gold Standard, Verra VCS, and others. Credits are matched to your sector and sustainability narrative, and retired on your behalf with full certificate and chain-of-custody documentation.
Social value measurement & reporting
Carbon programmes deliver more than CO₂ savings — they generate measurable social value in the communities where retrofit works are delivered. We quantify social value using HACT and TOMs frameworks, linking warm homes, reduced fuel poverty, local employment, and health outcomes to your scheme's carbon narrative.
Step 01
Measure & baseline
Establish your Scope 1, 2 & 3 carbon footprint. Set a verified baseline for all future reduction targets and reporting.
Step 02
Reduce & retrofit
Deliver fabric, heating and renewable improvements. Every measure generates verified, auditable carbon savings.
Step 03
Fund & finance
Access carbon finance, LA grants and green asset funding. Forward-sell carbon savings to fund the works that create them.
Step 04
Retire & report
Offset residual emissions through accredited credits. Report social value and carbon outcomes to stakeholders with full audit trail.
