Making carbon reduction simple for every business

Carbonhogs was founded with a simple belief: every UK business should be able to create a professional carbon reduction plan without hiring expensive consultants. We saw businesses spending thousands on sustainability consultancies for a document that could be generated in minutes with the right technology. So we built it.

We took the methodology behind the best consultant-led plans — the GHG Protocol, DEFRA emission factors, SBTi target-setting — and turned it into a straightforward questionnaire that any business owner can complete in ten minutes. The result is a fully compliant carbon reduction plan, delivered to your inbox, at a fraction of the cost.

No meetings. No waiting weeks. No jargon. Just a professional plan that does exactly what you need it to do.

With PPN 006, the UK government requires carbon reduction plans for public sector procurement contracts above £5 million annually. Businesses tendering for government contracts need compliant documentation — it is no longer optional. Without a plan, you cannot bid.

But even beyond compliance, understanding your carbon footprint is the first step to reaching net zero. Whether you are responding to client expectations, preparing for ESG reporting and investor scrutiny, meeting SECR obligations, or simply doing the right thing — a clear picture of your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions gives you a foundation to act on.

The Procurement Act 2023 will expand sustainability requirements further when it comes into full effect in 2026. Large businesses are already asking their supply chains for carbon data. Acting now puts you ahead of the curve.

The problem has never been willingness. It has been access. Traditional sustainability consultancy fees of £5,000 to £50,000 put carbon planning out of reach for thousands of small and medium-sized businesses across the UK. We exist to change that.
