Organisations seeking a structured, year-on-year partnership with live tracking, data improvement and reduction planning built in.
Annual disclosures aligned to standards
Companies preparing annual carbon disclosures aligned to PPN 006, SECR, UK SRS or wider stakeholder and investor frameworks.
Micro and small businesses
Foundation package designed for organisations starting their net-zero journey with simplified Scope 3 and quarterly review cadence.
Scaling SMEs
Growth package for organisations responding to customer and procurement requirements with monthly support and full standards alignment.
Complex and multi-site organisations

A structured, data-driven pathway to measure, reduce and report
Ongoing expert support and annual reporting aligned to internationally recognised standards and UK requirements including UK SRS, PPN 006 and ISO 14064-1.
Live carbon accounting software
Not spreadsheets. A dedicated carbon accounting platform with live data tracking, export capability and a custom dashboard bespoke to your organisation.
Scope 1, 2 and relevant Scope 3 coverage
All nine Scope 3 categories assessed and quantified where material data is available. UK Government GHG Conversion Factors and ICE Database applied throughout.
Practical reduction planning with ongoing support
A structured reduction strategy built into every report, with ongoing advisory support, regular review meetings and horizon scanning for emerging frameworks.
Certification and commercial recognition
SBS Net-Zero Program Certificate and digital badges for use in tenders and marketing, with an optional route to ISO 14064-1 formal certification.
Standards-aligned at every stage of your journey
Every stage of the SBS Net-Zero Program applies UK Government GHG Conversion Factors, ICE Database and EEIO factors. Reporting outputs are structured to meet GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1 requirements, with optional alignment to PPN 006, SECR, UK SRS and SBTi.
A structured journey, not a one-off report
Every organisation enters the program at the right point for their stage of maturity. From initial planning and boundary-setting through to ongoing improvement, each stage builds a stronger, more defensible carbon position.

Frequently asked questions
What standards is the SBS Net-Zero Program aligned to?
Our methodology is aligned to the GHG Protocol and informed by ISO 14064-1, ISO 14068, UK SRS, PAS 2080 and SBTi principles. Annual reporting outputs can be structured to support PPN 006 requirements and wider customer or tender disclosures.
Is the program suitable for SMEs as well as larger organisations?
Yes. The program is designed to scale. We support micro-businesses through to complex, multi-site organisations, with package levels adjusted for data complexity, Scope 3 requirements and support frequency.
Do you support Scope 3 emissions and supply chain engagement?
Yes. Scope 3 is a core part of the program where relevant. We support supplier data collection, activity-based modelling, spend-based estimates and supply chain engagement to improve data quality over time.
Is this a one-off carbon footprint or an ongoing service?
The SBS Net-Zero Program is an ongoing service. While we establish a robust baseline, the focus is on year-on-year improvement, live tracking, reduction planning and annual reporting rather than static reports.
What does PPN 006 alignment mean in practice?
We structure annual emissions reporting so it can be used to support PPN 006 tender responses, including clear emissions boundaries, reduction plans and progress reporting aligned to UK procurement expectations.
How quickly can we get started?
Most organisations can begin within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on data availability and complexity. Initial baselining is typically completed within the first program phase.
