What SkootEco does

SkootEco is a UK-headquartered ESG technology company that delivers modular sustainability solutions to businesses, primarily small and medium-sized enterprises alongside select enterprise accounts in hospitality, events, venues, professional services, and e-commerce. The company's platform is organized around a proprietary methodology called the MARC Framework (Measure, Avoid, Reduce, Counter) and combines self-serve and consultancy-driven tools: carbon calculators (business and event-specific), a live ESG dashboard, public-facing Impact Profiles for stakeholder reporting, a Climate Project Marketplace for verified offset purchases, an Eco-Contribution product (SkootLife at the consumer/employee level) that automates in-moment sustainability actions at checkout, and an API For Good for third-party integrations. Technical integrations include Oracle Simphony (hospitality POS), GloriaFood, Zapier, and an open-banking payment partnership with Zyntrix that routes up to 70% of payment processing fee savings into verified climate actions.

Commercially, SkootEco operates a hybrid model spanning professional services (ESG consultancy, B Corp and CDP accreditation guidance, sustainability strategy, reporting and disclosure, carbon and net-zero advisory), recurring SaaS subscriptions to the platform and its tools, transaction fees on climate project purchases through the marketplace, and transaction-based eco-contribution revenues from hospitality checkouts via Zyntrix and carbon credit resales from verified registries (Gold Standard, Verra, ACR, UK Woodland Carbon Code). Go-to-market is also hybrid: a consultative direct-sales motion for enterprise and ESG-program accounts (De Vere, Oracle, Good Energy, Addison Lee, Bupa) layered with a product-led self-serve motion aimed at SMBs without dedicated sustainability budgets. The company is Top 5% B Corp certified (B Impact Score 92.2), was an EDIE Consultancy of the Year finalist in both 2024 and 2025, and operates from London with formal presence in the United States and Switzerland as of 2023.

SkootEco was founded in 2019 as Skootride.com (a carpooling business that planted trees per ride), raised approximately £700k during its 2022 strategic pivot to ESG, and secured a £1.1 million seed round from the Low Carbon Innovation Fund 2 (managed by Turquoise) in September 2023 to scale its hospitality ESG technology. The team stood at 11 employees as of the 2024 ESG Report, served over 30 clients with 20+ sustainability projects in 2024, and reported platform-mediated outcomes including 1.42M+ trees planted, 453k+ plastic bottles recovered, and 40,000 tCO2e countered. Disclosed 2023 revenue was £280.8k (up 579% YoY from £41.2k in 2022); 2024 revenue has not been disclosed.
