What Navis International Trade & Consulting Ltd does

Navis International Trade & Consulting Ltd is a privately held UK consulting firm incorporated in England and Wales in May 2018, focused exclusively on regulatory compliance and quota trading for hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants under the EU and GB F-GAS regulatory regimes (Regulation (EU) 517/2014 and the successor Regulation (EU) 2024/573). The firm holds Incumbent status in both GB and EU F-GAS quota systems and provides a 360-degree service spanning quota application and trading, customs procedures and classification, auditing support via accredited certification bodies, ERP architecture design, Only Representative (EUOR/UKOR) services for non-resident companies, and CBAM compliance advisory. Its core technology assets include the F-Gas Quota Trading Mobile Application (iOS and Android) for self-service EU Quota, Authorisation, and Delegation transfers; an Easy Reporting Solution that integrates with client ERP systems; an online GWP Converter tool; and a Shared Import Scheme that consolidates New Entrant and Incumbent quotas to enable full ISO tank imports.

The company earns revenue through four streams: (1) professional services for F-GAS compliance consulting, training, auditing, and reporting; (2) transaction fees on quota, authorisation, and delegation brokerage matched between vetted counterparties; (3) subscription/recurring fees on the Easy Reporting ERP-integrated software; and (4) managed-service fees on the Shared Import Scheme covering vendor selection, customs coordination, logistics, and insurance brokerage. The go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, anchored on active participation at Chillventa, MCE Milan, and ISK-SODEX, supplemented by technical webinars, a multi-language website (English, Japanese, Chinese), and LinkedIn engagement. Navis serves SMEs dealing with HFC refrigerants, importers of precharged HVAC-R equipment, New Entrant quota applicants, and non-EU/non-GB companies needing an Only Representative, with 5,000+ customers in UK/EU and 700+ globally across 50 countries and 7 regions. The firm operates from offices in London (HQ), Pärnu (Estonia), Ankara (Turkey), Boulder, Colorado (US liaison), and Sharjah (UAE), supported by an APAC Head based in Australia.

Emerging players

• Anthesis Group: Global sustainability consultancy with strong CBAM and Scope 3 practices. Comparable as a CBAM compliance specialist serving industrial clients — a credible adjacent peer competing for the same CBAM wallet Navis is extending into.
• EcoAct: European carbon and climate consultancy advising corporates on net-zero strategy, CBAM, and Scope 3 emissions. Comparable as a CBAM-focused advisory peer; Navis is already co-hosting CBAM webinars with adjacent providers in this category.
• Normec Verifavia: Independent verification body for emissions and carbon, including CBAM. Already a webinar co-host and verification partner of Navis — a tightly comparable peer in the F-GAS/CBAM MRV space with overlapping customer conversations.
• ClimEase: European climate and environmental advisory co-presenting CBAM webinars with Navis in 2024. Comparable as a CBAM-focused advisory peer; reflects the broader ecosystem of small specialist consultancies Navis both partners with and competes against.

Broad incumbents

• DNV: Independent assurance and risk-management firm with deep climate and environmental verification capabilities. Comparable as a provider of accredited MRV and emissions compliance services; a direct competitor for any emissions-reporting mandate adjacent to F-GAS or CBAM.
• SGS: World-leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company with established environmental services. Comparable in offering regulated-industry compliance and certification services to corporate buyers — a likely competitive threat if it bundles F-GAS/HFC reporting into its existing TIC contracts.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification major with a sizable environmental compliance and emissions verification practice. Comparable to Navis as a potential provider of F-GAS/CBAM compliance services to overlapping HVAC-R and industrial customers, but operating at vastly greater scale across many verticals.
• TÜV SÜD: Global certification and testing firm with a strong environmental and product compliance portfolio in Europe. Comparable in auditing, verification, and regulatory compliance services for industrial clients — a credible broad incumbent that could absorb F-GAS/CBAM mandates into existing engagements.
• ERM (Environmental Resources Management): World's largest pure-play sustainability and environmental consulting firm. Comparable as a deep environmental compliance advisor to industrial multinationals — a credible competitor for CBAM and refrigerant-related mandates at the enterprise end of Navis's addressable market.

Regional players

• Carbon Trust: UK-headquartered climate and sustainability advisory helping organisations decarbonise and meet carbon regulation. Comparable as a UK-rooted climate compliance advisor; overlapping customer base with Navis's UK/EU SME segment but broader scope across net-zero strategy.
