Your outsourced
sustainability team,
ready to deploy
Meeting your net-zero obligations should not require a full in-house team. SBS acts as your dedicated sustainability function, delivering the expertise, reporting and strategic guidance your business needs to measure, reduce and disclose carbon credibly.
Measure.
Reduce.
Report.
Most organisations facing net-zero obligations lack the in-house resource to deliver on them properly. SBS bridges that gap. We embed alongside your team as your outsourced sustainability function, taking ownership of your carbon measurement, reduction strategy and regulatory disclosure so you can focus on running your business.
Our net-zero services are built on internationally recognised standards so that your carbon data and claims stand up to scrutiny from customers, procurement teams, lenders and investors. Whether you need your first emissions baseline or are preparing for UK SRS and IFRS S1 and S2 disclosure, we have a programme matched to your obligations and your stage.

When we started on our objective to become a more sustainable and responsible business we quickly found ourselves lost and confused and we didn’t know where to turn for genuine support. Then we found Sustainable Business Services and they were a real game changer!
James talked us through the landscape and worked with us on our data collection, tracking, objectives, strategy and targets! We’ve since achieved amazing results that we couldn’t have dreamed about prior to working with SBS! Thanks to James and the Team, you really are making the world a better place!

Net-Zero Hub FAQs
A credible net-zero strategy sets a clear baseline for your emissions, covers Scopes 1, 2 and material Scope 3 categories, and focuses first on real reductions before using any offsetting.
It should align with recognised frameworks such as ISO 14064, ISO 14069, the GHG Protocol and the UK’s 2050 net-zero target, with transparent interim targets and regular progress reporting
The SBS Net-Zero Program gives you an outsourced environmental manager and high-quality carbon accounting software to measure and manage emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
We take you through staged phases – measure, manage & learn, target & report, and improve – so you end up with a credible roadmap, regular reports and support aligned to ISO 14064, PPN 06/21 and the UN Race to Zero.
SBS provides dedicated Net-Zero & ESG compliance services covering SECR, ESOS, PAS 2080, CBAM-style requirements and PPN 006 carbon reduction plans.
We help you understand eligibility, collect the right data, complete audits and submissions, and integrate findings into your wider net-zero strategy so compliance outputs add business value.
Carbon reduction means directly cutting your own emissions through actions such as energy efficiency, behaviour change, process improvements and cleaner technologies.
Offsetting (or using carbon credits) is about compensating for residual emissions you cannot yet eliminate by supporting verified external projects, and should only be used after you have prioritised reduction in line with the ISEP GHG hierarchy.
SBS can help you map, analyse and report Scope 3 emissions across your value chain, including purchased goods and services, business travel, waste and downstream impacts.
We support supply chain engagement programmes and sustainable procurement, helping you work with key suppliers and customers to co-develop reduction plans and improve data quality over time.
Through the SBS Academy, we offer modular online courses, role-specific learning and Carbon Literacy-style training to build sustainability skills across your organisation.
Training can be delivered digitally or in blended formats and is designed to support your net-zero roadmap, compliance requirements and culture change objectives.
SBS has experience working with funded programmes that provide part-funded or fully-funded support for eligible SMEs to calculate their footprint and develop a net-zero roadmap.
We can signpost you to relevant local or sector schemes where available and design fixed-cost packages that make it easier for smaller organisations to begin their journey.
If you already have basic energy and spend data available, we can typically start initial scoping and onboarding within a few weeks, with baseline calculations following once data is validated.
From there, we agree a clear timeline for measurement, strategy workshops, reporting and implementation so your organisation can demonstrate early progress to stakeholders and customers.
