The Carbon Stamp

What The Carbon Stamp does

The Carbon Stamp is a UK-based carbon consultancy founded in 2023 by Frazer Holroyd that delivers carbon footprint assessments, PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plans, ISO 14068-aligned carbon neutral certification, SECR reporting, and net zero strategy services exclusively to UK SMEs (3–250 employees). The firm operates a consultant-led, professional-services model with no SaaS subscription layer, using a proprietary three-phase methodology (Identify, Collect, Deliver) built on activity-based data (kWh, litres, km, kg) and UK Government DESNZ conversion factors, explicitly refusing spend-based estimation. Pricing is fixed-fee by employee headcount band, ranging from £1,295+VAT for a 3–10 employee Carbon Impact Report up to £4,195+VAT for mid-market Procurement-Ready Packages, with offset credits priced separately at £6.50/tCO2e+VAT.

Revenue is generated through one-off project engagements initiated via a free 30-minute discovery call, with annual recalculation engagements available at discounted rates for returning clients. The go-to-market is sales-led and inbound-driven — content marketing (blog, YouTube, downloadable PPN 006 templates), SEO-optimised vertical pages, and free self-serve tools (Supplier Engagement Portal, Employee/Company Carbon Surveys) feed qualified discovery calls, with field sales (on-site scoping and board presentations) reserved for mid-market clients. The company is registered as The Carbon Stamp Ltd (company number 14720145) in England & Wales, headquartered at 128 City Road, London, operates primarily remotely across the UK, and is a member of the NHS Net Zero Expert Network with UK Government Approved Supplier status. No external funding rounds have been disclosed; the firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned.
