What does a carbon footprint consultant actually do?

Let's be honest: improving your carbon footprint is complicated. So why not get us to do it for you?

We do the hard work so you can focus on impact and creating change.

What our clients normally ask for

  • Measure your full carbon footprint. Scope 1, 2 and 3, from your office and business operations to everything you sell. The full works.
  • Realistic carbon reduction targets. Targets that make a positive impact on the world and will stand up to pressure from the board.
  • A carbon reduction plan. We find the laziest, smartest, most efficient way for you to reduce your carbon footprint.
  • A report people will (actually) read. From mandatory reporting to impact reports, we make your sustainability work easy to understand and communicate.
  • Training, workshops and talks. Need someone who knows what they are talking about to inspire change? That's us (hopefully!).

How it typically works

  1. 1We get to know your business

    A call to understand what you need, how you operate, what data you already have and how we can make this work have a lasting impact.

  2. 2We do the carbon calculations

    We crunch the numbers so you can see exactly where your emissions come from. (You can be involved as much or as little as you like.)

  3. 3Future targets and actions

    When done right, your carbon footprint will tell us how much you can reduce by and what actions make the most sense for you.

  4. 4We stay with you

    Measuring is just the start. We work with you year on year to keep finding new reductions.

Step 2 · Where your emissions come from

Example: where a tour operator's carbon footprint comes from Illustrative example. Flights 62%, accommodation 14%, ground transport 9%, food and activities 8%, office, staff and everything else 7%. Flights: 62% Accommodation: 14% Ground transport: 9% Food and activities: 8% Office, staff and everything else: 7% Flights 62% Accommodation 14% Ground transport 9% Food & activities 8% Office & everything 7%

Why ecollective?

We don't make money by selling you offsets.

Our job is cutting your emissions, not selling you credits to cover them.

We deliver the best ROI.

Done right, sustainability should save you money, not cost you money.

Deep sector knowledge.

We understand the challenges travel and events businesses face, which means we can suggest solutions that actually work.

We go into serious detail.

Accuracy is what makes a reduction strategy worthwhile. We have worked out how to get geekier without adding work (we use activity-based calculations 99% of the time).

We are easy to understand.

Our clients regularly tell us we explain carbon in a way that makes sense. No corporate or carbon jargon here.

You get people, not a chatbot.

When you get in touch, it's normally Charlie who replies. Our team has measured more than 100 company footprints in the last 12 months.

How much does a carbon footprint consultant cost?

The fee is based on how long we estimate the calculation will take, and that depends on how complex your operations are. Answer three short questions and we'll send you an estimate.

Put simply, we don't charge the kind of fees other consultancies do. Sustainability is about saving money, not spending it.
