Turn environmental ambition into a practical plan
We help organisations estimate and understand their carbon emissions, identify realistic opportunities to reduce them and plan responsibly for residual emissions.
How we can help
- Establish a proportionate carbon-emissions baseline
- Identify major sources of emissions and practical reduction priorities
- Explore responsible offsetting approaches for residual emissions
- Assess biodiversity and tree-planting opportunities
- Create climate and environmental budget lines
- Develop an evidence-based pathway towards carbon-neutral or carbon-positive operation
Reduction before offsetting
Credible environmental action begins by measuring and reducing emissions. Offsetting can then address residual emissions through transparent, proportionate and verifiable approaches. We help organisations document their assumptions, decisions and evidence so that public claims are clear and defensible.
A methodology developed through practice
This approach was developed by Barefoot Research and Evaluation through applied organisational work with Difference North East. It combines practical calculation, budgeting and decision-making with locally relevant environmental and biodiversity options.
