AWARD WINNING ESG CONSULTANCY | ECOVADIS | B CORP | CARBON REPORTING
Greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting has moved from a niche compliance task to a core business requirement, whether you’re filing SECR as a large undertaking, responding to a PPN 006 tender requirement, or being asked for Scope 3 data by a bigger customer further up your supply chain. GHG reporting measures an organisation’s emissions across Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (purchased energy), and Scope 3 (supply chain and value chain) — and it’s the foundation that SECR, ESOS, PPN 006, B Corp, and EcoVadis all build on. Get it right once, aligned to the GHG Protocol, SBTi, and Net Zero standards, and it feeds every other framework you’ll be asked to comply with, rather than requiring separate work each time.
We treat Scope 3 as essential rather than optional, because it typically accounts for more than 90% of a business’s total footprint, mostly hidden in purchased goods and services. A report that skips it rarely satisfies auditors, tender panels, or serious certification bodies, no matter how complete the Scope 1 and 2 figures look. There’s a practical upside to doing this properly: around 90% of most businesses’ carbon footprint sits in the supply chain, and mapping it tends to expose the same inefficient suppliers and overpriced contracts that are quietly driving up costs elsewhere. Clients regularly use their GHG report as leverage to renegotiate energy, insurance, waste, and vehicle contracts, turning a compliance exercise into a genuine cost-saving one.
Where offsetting is relevant, we only recommend Gold Standard offsets, and only as a supplement to real reduction, never as a substitute for it — where clients choose to offset, we administer the purchase and incorporate it correctly into SBTi and ISO 14068 reporting so it stands up to scrutiny rather than reading as greenwashing. We also don’t charge extra to review historical data from a previous provider; we’ll fold it in to strengthen the current report’s completeness and credibility regardless of who prepared it originally. Timelines depend on data availability, but we offer some of the fastest turnaround in the industry, including emergency support for last-minute SECR filings or tender deadlines, with many clients receiving a complete report within days rather than weeks.

The Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework remains strictly mandatory for all quoted companies, as well as large unquoted companies and LLPs that meet at least two of three criteria: over 250 employees, a turnover exceeding £36 million, or a balance sheet total over £18 million. Obligatory disclosures encompass global Scope 1 and 2 emissions, operational energy consumption, and at least one intensity ratio. ESG PRO safeguards your business against non-compliance by deploying automated data integration pipelines. By replacing error-prone spreadsheets with real-time, source-verified accounting, we deliver absolute accuracy to meet Financial Reporting Council and ISSA (UK) 5000 assurance standards.
Right here with ESG PRO. We completely strip away vague, “eco-friendly” corporate fluff, focusing entirely on empirical data engineering. Our methodologies are aligned with the GHG Protocol, TCFD, and emerging UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS). We establish a clear, documented line of data custody for every ton reported, ensuring your disclosures withstand intense independent auditor scrutiny.
Calculating Scope 3 emissions requires moving entirely away from unreliable, spend-based industry averages. ESG PRO implements activity-based tracking by integrating primary data directly from the source—such as fleet telematics, travel systems, and supplier API links. By converting real material inputs and shipping logs using precise emission factor vintages, we build a granular, legally defensible inventory that stands up to regulatory cross-examination.
While general guidelines are found on official UK government portals, public documents only outline the basic what, not the technical how. ESG PRO’s multidisciplinary team—combining senior carbon accountants, environmental engineers, and sustainability lawyers—takes this generic baseline and embeds it directly into your corporate infrastructure. We align your SECR obligations with wider corporate filings, ensuring no contradictions exist across your public datasets.
ESG PRO stands as the definitive technical authority in the UK market. We do not offer template-driven, checkbox consulting. Instead, we provide an institution-grade framework that merges financial accounting accuracy with rigorous legal defensibility, specifically designed to pass the stringent data validation requirements expected by modern boards, tender panels, and financial institutions.
Engaging senior carbon accountants transforms your sustainability data from a marketing risk into a vetted commercial asset. With strict anti-greenwashing enforcement in place, unverified claims introduce severe liability. ESG PRO’s verification ensures your figures can be safely used to attract institutional investment, lower capital borrowing costs, and clear complex corporate vendor procurement filters.
Comparing methodologies means evaluating their alignment with international standards like the ISO 14064 series or the GHG Protocol. ESG PRO analyses these frameworks to verify that organisational boundaries, tracking thresholds, and gas scopes are correctly established. We eliminate technical errors—such as applying mismatched global averages to localised UK workflows—ensuring the output data is legally sound.
ESG PRO delivers comprehensive carbon verification frameworks that our in-house sustainability lawyers thoroughly vet. This legal oversight ensures your public carbon disclosures, net-zero statements, and regulatory submissions comply with the FCA’s Anti-Greenwashing Rule, eliminating the risk of misleading advertising claims.

UK businesses are heavily impacted by the modern implementation of the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework, the Procurement Act, and strict anti-greenwashing mandates. ESG PRO’s in-house sustainability lawyers translate these complex legal statutes into clear, actionable business rules, ensuring your board is protected against non-compliance penalties.
Rigorous data quality is the absolute foundation of corporate compliance. High-quality, primary data eliminates the margin of error that typically triggers auditor rejections. ESG PRO enforces strict validation controls at every stage of the reporting process, ensuring that every calculation submitted to an analyst is perfectly defensible.
True carbon reduction requires operational intervention rather than purchasing cheap carbon offsets. ESG PRO analyses your emissions data to identify your highest-impact areas. We then design evidence-based operational strategies—such as deep supply chain optimisation, route-planning efficiency, and process electrification—that permanently reduce your reported numbers.
Implementation requires setting clear, mandatory data protocols for all active vendors. ESG PRO helps corporate procurement teams embed technical reporting mandates directly into supplier agreements. We provide simple, secure onboarding tools for your vendors, turning complex cross-border logistics tracking into a highly streamlined data collection workflow.

ESG PRO utilises advanced system automation tools that link directly to your operations. By pulling utility data from automated meter readers (AMR) and fuel data from corporate fuel cards, we remove manual data entry entirely, ensuring your Scope 1 and 2 inventories are compiled with perfect mathematical accuracy.
The four primary greenhouse gases measured in corporate inventories are Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Fluorinated Gases (F-gases). A technical assessment scales each gas using its specific Global Warming Potential (GWP) value into a single, standardised metric: Carbon Dioxide Equivalent. ESG PRO calculates these values using the latest scientific vintages, ensuring your total carbon equivalent calculations are precise and compliant.
The GHG Protocol is the premier global framework for corporate greenhouse gas accounting. It requires absolute technical rigour because small choices—such as selecting location-based versus market-based emission factors for Scope 2 electricity consumption—can fundamentally skew a corporation’s reported net-zero progress. ESG PRO enforces exact technical precision, ensuring your calculations are transparent, repeatable, and completely insulated against greenwashing allegations.
Under Procurement Policy Note 06/21 (and its current designation as PPN 006 under the Procurement Act), suppliers bidding for major public contracts over £5 million must submit an approved Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP). While the mandate accepts any “appropriate methodology,” the framework relies heavily on GHG Protocol core standards for evaluating Scope 1, Scope 2, and the five mandated Scope 3 categories. ESG PRO builds your CRP strictly to GHG Protocol standards to ensure it passes public procurement filters with zero risk of technical disqualification.
Yes, corporate ESG reporting is mandatory for large UK enterprises via SECR, TCFD, and the unfolding UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS). The legal risks of deploying unverified or superficial data are massive, exposing directors to severe regulatory penalties under FCA anti-greenwashing rules and commercial lawsuits for misleading marketplace disclosures. ESG PRO eliminates these vulnerabilities by providing full data assurance, validating your sustainability reporting to the same rigorous standards as financial accounts
