What CARBON MANAGERS SOLUTIONS LTD does

Carbon Managers Solutions Ltd is a UK-based environmental consultancy headquartered near Bath, England, operating since 2007. The firm provides carbon footprint measurement, reporting, and reduction planning services to enterprise clients across multiple industries, including pensions/investment, healthcare, risk and governance, and fitness/wellness. Its service portfolio spans Carbon Footprint Reporting (Scope 1, 2, and 3 auditing), Whole Life Carbon Assessment, Product Life Cycle Assessment, Carbon Reduction Planning aligned to PPN-06/21 requirements, Carbon Offsetting via third-party removal partners, and Staff Engagement Initiatives — delivered under a four-step decarbonisation methodology (Measure, Reduce, Offset, Communicate) using internationally recognised frameworks including the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-3.

The underlying technology is a manual consultancy workflow grounded in standards-based emissions accounting rather than proprietary software. Carbon Managers does not offer an API, SDK, mobile app, or disclosed data platform; all measurements are produced by trained auditors working directly with client data. The firm claims a global team spanning the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia, suggesting distributed practitioner capacity rather than a centralised software product.

Revenue is generated through project-based and ongoing professional services engagements, with pricing on a quote basis (not publicly disclosed). The go-to-market is consultative and sales-led: prospects complete a "new client questionnaire" on the website, schedule virtual meetings, and receive tailored quotes. Customer acquisition relies on direct outreach via website forms, phone (+44 20 8050 3545), email, and credibility signals from client testimonials and certifications. The firm has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and appears to be founder-owned, with William Thomas serving as Managing Director since June 2022.

Emerging players

• Greenly: Carbon accounting platform and consultancy serving SMBs and mid-market companies with automated footprint measurement. Comparable in target customer (SMB / mid-market) and core Scope 1-3 auditing, with stronger SaaS tooling than Carbon Managers.

Direct peers

• South Pole Group: Global climate consultancy and carbon offset developer offering emissions accounting, reduction strategy, and carbon credit sourcing. Comparable to Carbon Managers across the full measure/reduce/offset stack, with broader geographic reach and project-finance capability.
• Watershed: US-based enterprise carbon accounting SaaS platform providing automated Scope 1-3 measurement, reporting, and reduction planning. Competes with Carbon Managers for enterprise climate reporting budgets but operates a technology platform rather than pure consultancy.
• ClimatePartner: German-based climate action company providing carbon accounting, reduction, and offsetting services for SMEs and enterprises. Highly comparable service portfolio (footprint measurement, climate strategy, offsets) with stronger tech platform than Carbon Managers.
• EcoAct (Accenture): Climate strategy and carbon management consultancy providing GHG inventory, reduction planning, and net-zero advisory across Europe. Directly comparable to Carbon Managers in service offering (Scope 1/2/3 auditing, strategy, LCA), now operating as part of Accenture after acquisition.
• Net Zero Now: UK-based net-zero certification and carbon reduction consultancy helping SMEs and corporates measure footprints and achieve verified net-zero status. Comparable to Carbon Managers in UK-market focus, Scope 1-3 work, and net-zero strategy services.

Others

• Carbon Literacy Project: UK-based charity delivering carbon literacy training and staff engagement programmes to organisations and individuals. Adjacent to Carbon Managers' 'Staff Engagement Initiatives' service offering, supporting the people-side component of corporate decarbonisation.

Broad incumbents

• Carbon Trust: UK-headquartered climate and sustainability consultancy offering carbon footprinting, strategy advisory, and certification services to enterprises and governments. Highly comparable to Carbon Managers as a UK-based carbon advisory firm, but with broader scale, established brand, and government-linked origins.
• Sphera: Established ESG, EHS, and carbon management software provider offering enterprise-grade emissions tracking and LCA tools. Overlaps with Carbon Managers' LCA and reporting offerings but at much larger scale and as integrated software rather than bespoke consultancy.

Regional players

• Toitū Envirocare: New Zealand-based carbon measurement, reduction, and certification organisation serving Pacific and Australasian clients. Comparable to Carbon Managers in standards-anchored (ISO 14064) carbon advisory, though operating primarily in a different geography.
