FAQ

Common questions

Is this a one-off payment?

Yes. Choose your plan, pay once, and receive your carbon reduction plan. No subscriptions, no recurring charges. Plans start from £299.

How long does it take?

The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes. Your professional carbon reduction plan is available to download instantly after checkout — no waiting for consultants.

Is it really PPN 006 compliant?

Yes. Every Carbonhogs plan is structured to meet all requirements set out in Procurement Policy Note 006 for UK government contracts over £5 million, including the mandatory declaration.

Do I need exact data?

No. Estimates and approximations are perfectly fine. We use DEFRA 2024 emission factors and industry benchmarks alongside your answers to calculate your carbon footprint accurately.

What does the plan cover?

Your plan includes a full carbon footprint analysis across Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions, SBTi-aligned net zero targets, priority reduction actions ranked by impact, and methodology notes following the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.

What is a carbon reduction plan?

A carbon reduction plan (CRP) is a document that quantifies your business’s greenhouse gas emissions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) and sets out targets and actions to reduce them. It’s required for UK government contract tenders under PPN 006.

Can I update my plan each year?

Yes. Our Annual Refresh (£199) lets you update your plan with current emissions data, track year-on-year progress against your baseline, and set new reduction targets. PPN 006 requires annual updates.

How is my carbon footprint calculated?

We follow the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard using DEFRA 2024 UK Government Greenhouse Gas Conversion Factors. Your answers are converted into tonnes of CO2 equivalent across all emission scopes.

The reality

Why your business needs a carbon reduction plan

Since 2021, the UK government has required a carbon reduction plan from any business bidding for public sector contracts worth more than £5 million annually. This requirement, known as PPN 006 (Procurement Policy Note 006), means that without a compliant plan, you simply cannot tender for government work.

But carbon reduction planning is not just about compliance. Understanding your carbon footprint across Scope 1 (direct emissions from gas boilers, company vehicles), Scope 2 (purchased electricity and energy), and Scope 3 (supply chain, business travel, employee commuting, waste) gives you a clear picture of where your emissions come from — and where the biggest savings are.

Large companies are increasingly asking suppliers for evidence of net zero commitments and environmental sustainability. The Procurement Act 2023, coming into full effect in 2026, will expand these requirements further. Businesses that act now will be ahead of the curve, winning contracts that competitors without a plan cannot access.

Traditional sustainability consultancies charge £5,000 to £50,000 for a carbon reduction plan. Carbonhogs delivers the same professional output — using DEFRA 2024 emission factors, GHG Protocol methodology, and SBTi-aligned targets — for just £99. No consultants, no meetings, no waiting.
