Carbon Reporting &
Reduction Consultancy

Buyers, procurement teams and tender evaluators increasingly expect suppliers to show credible emissions data, a clear Carbon Reduction Plan and practical actions they can evidence. Orbis helps you prepare that information properly — and keep it current.

We can support an existing sustainability team, undertake a defined project, or provide an outsourced carbon reporting service for businesses that do not have in-house resource.

Technology and AI help us gather and prepare information efficiently. People review the calculations, assumptions and every client-facing document before it is issued.

We help you communicate evidenced progress accurately — keeping future commitments clearly separate from outcomes already achieved.

Practical Reduction Planning

Where Practical Reductions Are Often Found

⚡
Energy & Buildings

Switching to renewable energy tariffs, improving insulation and heating efficiency, LED lighting and smart building controls. Often the single largest lever for office-based businesses.

✈
Business Travel

Rail-first policies, virtual meeting protocols, consolidated travel and class-of-travel guidelines. Travel is frequently the dominant Scope 3 emission source for professional services firms.

🚚
Fleet & Logistics

EV transition planning, route optimisation, driver behaviour programmes and logistics consolidation. Particularly relevant for distribution, field services and construction businesses.

🔗
Supply Chain

Supplier engagement, procurement policy changes and lower-carbon choices of materials and services. Addresses Scope 3 Category 1 — often the largest share of the footprint for product companies.

♻
Waste & Circular Economy

Reducing landfill waste, improving recycling rates, eliminating single-use plastics and designing out waste from operations. Often quick wins with both emissions and cost savings.

💻
Digital & IT Infrastructure

Lower-carbon hosting, device lifecycle extension and reducing the footprint of digital operations. A growing source of emissions for technology-intensive businesses.

Already have a Carbon Reduction Plan? We can review your existing plan, check the emissions data and assumptions behind it, identify gaps against the buyer’s requirement, and help you prepare an updated version.

03

Tender-Ready Carbon Evidence

Carbon evidence for tender responses, together with support completing supplier carbon questionnaires and buyer information requests.

Ways to Work With Us

Support That Fits Your Team

Support Your Sustainability Team

Additional capacity and review for an existing in-house team, from data checks to document preparation.

A Defined Project

A scoped piece of work — for example a first emissions inventory, a Carbon Reduction Plan or the carbon section of a tender response.

Outsourced Carbon Reporting

An ongoing outsourced service covering annual emissions reporting, CRP updates and buyer requests.

Carbon Reduction Plans & Tender Evidence

Tender-Ready Carbon Evidence,
Prepared Properly

Public-sector, NHS and framework buyers increasingly ask suppliers for carbon evidence. Requirements vary by buyer, contract and procurement route, so we start by reviewing what is actually being asked for.

Carbon Reduction Plans

Plans prepared in the PPN 006 format where it applies — for in-scope central government contracts above £5m a year. PPN 006 replaced PPN 06/21, which some buyers and older documents still reference.

Supplier Questionnaires

Clear Scope 1, Scope 2 and relevant Scope 3 information for supplier questionnaires, framework bids and NHS supplier requirements.

Annual Updates

Annual emissions updates and Carbon Reduction Plan reviews, keeping published plans and tender evidence current.

Clear Methodology

Calculations aligned with the GHG Protocol using UK Government conversion factors, with data sources and assumptions set out so buyers can follow them.

Good documentation helps you respond clearly and consistently. It does not by itself guarantee compliance with a particular tender or the outcome of a bid. More about Carbon Reduction Plans →

Bidding for public-sector or framework work? Ask us for a Carbon Tender Readiness Check and we’ll help you see what you already have — and where the gaps are.

How We Work

A Clear Process, From
Requirement to Annual Update

01

Review the Requirement

We review the tender, buyer request, framework requirement or supplier questionnaire to confirm what carbon evidence is needed and by when.

02

Collect the Data

We identify and gather the relevant energy, fuel, fleet, travel, waste and supply-chain information, and note any gaps or estimates.

03

Prepare Calculations & Documents

We calculate emissions across the relevant scopes and prepare the emissions summary, Carbon Reduction Plan or evidence pack.

04

Client Review

You review the draft, the assumptions and the wording before anything is submitted or published, so the final document reflects your business accurately.

05

Plan Practical Reductions

We help you set out realistic reduction actions that can be documented, tracked and reported on, separating future commitments from progress already made.

06

Keep It Up to Date

We support annual emissions updates and CRP reviews, so the next tender or buyer request is quicker and easier to answer.

Free Tool

Estimate Your Carbon Footprint

Use our calculator for an indicative emissions assessment across Scope 1, 2 and 3, aligned with the GHG Protocol and using UK Government conversion factors. It is a useful starting point — not a verified footprint — and a basis for discussing a reviewed emissions inventory, Carbon Reduction Plan or tender evidence pack.
