Carbon consulting services rooted in data, driven by strategy, and tailored to your organisation’s unique needs. Our low-carbon consulting services empower you to navigate your Net Zero journey with confidence, clarity and measurable impact.
Why Work With a Carbon Consultant?
Whether you’re responding to regulatory demands, stakeholder pressure, or internal sustainability goals, a carbon consultant provides the expertise and objectivity to guide your transition to low-carbon operations.
Carbon management is not simply a reporting exercise, it’s a strategic imperative. Done well, it can unlock efficiency, improve your ESG credentials, and create long-term commercial value.
Our consultants bring a science-based approach to measuring and reducing emissions, supporting you across every phase of your decarbonisation journey, from initial assessments to implementation and reporting.
Our Carbon Consulting Services
Our services span two key areas:
- Organisation-Level Strategy: Focused on helping entire organisations reduce emissions and meet Net Zero goals.
- Product & Material-Level Services: Specialised support including Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), and Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs), which are particularly valuable for manufacturers and product-led businesses.
Every engagement is underpinned by our rigorous methodology and commitment to credible, data-led outcomes.
Our Low Carbon Consulting Approach: Assess. Plan. Deliver.
Our carbon consulting services follow a proven methodology that ensures outcomes are credible, achievable, and aligned with your wider business strategy.
Step 1: Assess
Our first step is to conduct a comprehensive carbon footprint assessment, providing a robust and transparent baseline for your emissions. We use bottom-up impact measurement techniques to ensure data accuracy and completeness, sourcing primary data wherever possible.
Establishing a Baseline
We measure emissions across Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect energy emissions), and Scope 3 (value chain emissions, including supply chain, business travel and product use)
All assessments are delivered in line with internationally recognised standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, PAS 2050 and ISO 14064.
Step 2: Plan
Once we understand your emissions profile, we work with you to develop a practical, data-informed carbon reduction strategy. Our low-carbon consulting team ensures that every plan is bespoke, grounded in technical feasibility and organisational realities.
Building Your Low-Carbon Roadmap
This includes identifying emissions hotspots, setting science-based targets (SBTs), prioritising reduction opportunities, aligning with Net Zero commitments, and integrating with existing ESG and sustainability goals
Step 3: Deliver
Whether you're looking to embed emissions tracking into operations, roll out behaviour change programmes or prepare for climate-related disclosure requirements, we’ll help you move from ambition to action.
Implementing with Impact
We also assist with compliance-related reporting such as SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) and PPN 06/21 for public sector suppliers, helping you meet your obligations with confidence and clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions about Carbon Consulting
- What does a carbon consultant do?
-
A carbon consultant helps organisations understand, measure, and reduce their carbon emissions. Our carbon consultants offer strategic advice, technical analysis, and tailored action plans to support your journey to Net Zero. We focus on robust data collection, emissions reporting, and practical solutions that reduce environmental impact and deliver business value.
- Why is low-carbon consulting important for my business?
-
Low carbon consulting enables you to identify emissions hotspots, improve operational efficiency, and align with regulatory requirements and market expectations. Whether you’re responding to investor pressure, preparing for tenders, or working toward Net Zero, working with a low carbon consultancy ensures your strategy is credible, science-based, and commercially effective.
- How do you calculate a carbon footprint?
-
We follow international standards such as the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and ISO 14064. Using a bottom-up data approach, we collect information across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, covering everything from energy and fuel use to supply chain and product lifecycle impacts. Our carbon consultants then model this data to give you an accurate, organisation-specific emissions profile.
- What’s the difference between Net Zero and carbon neutrality?
-
Net Zero refers to reducing your greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible, then balancing any remaining emissions through credible offsetting. Carbon neutrality typically involves offsetting all emissions, sometimes without deep reductions. As a leading carbon consultancy, we help you understand these distinctions and design a strategy that aligns with global standards like PAS 2060 and SBTi guidance.
- How can low-carbon consulting support compliance?
-
Regulations such as SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting), TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures), and PPN 06/21 require transparent and accurate emissions reporting. Our carbon consultants ensure your data meets these standards and is ready for audit, disclosure, and stakeholder scrutiny, helping you stay compliant and competitive.
- Can Blue Marble support my supply chain emissions reporting?
-
Yes. Scope 3 emissions, those from your supply chain and value chain, can be complex to manage. Our low carbon consulting services include supply chain mapping, supplier engagement, and primary data collection strategies to build a more accurate and actionable emissions profile.
- How long does it take to create a carbon reduction strategy?
-
Timelines depend on the size and complexity of your organisation. A typical engagement ranges from a few weeks for footprinting and compliance to several months for full Net Zero strategy development. We’ll always agree clear milestones and deliverables from the outset to keep your project on track.
- Do you work with SMEs as well as large organisations?
-
Absolutely. Our carbon consultants support businesses of all sizes, from local enterprises just beginning their sustainability journey to multinational corporations looking to lead in their sector. We tailor our approach to meet your needs, resources, and ambitions.
- How much do your carbon consultancy services cost?
-
Costs vary depending on the scope of work, data complexity, and level of support required. We provide clear, upfront pricing for all our carbon consulting services, and we’re happy to discuss scalable options to fit your budget and goals.
- What makes Blue Marble different from other carbon consultants?
-
We combine scientific expertise with commercial understanding. Our low carbon consulting is grounded in robust data and international standards, yet always tailored to your operational context. We’re not here to sell templates, we build long-term partnerships that deliver measurable, meaningful impact.
