What Treligan does

Treligan, a trading name of Novascape Limited (UK company 09965342), is a York-based environmental and sustainability consultancy founded in early 2019 with a team of approximately 6-7 practitioners. The firm delivers project-based consulting to UK public sector bodies (Defra, JNCC, NHS England, local authorities such as City of York Council and the York and North Yorkshire Growth Hub, plus bodies including SEPA and NatureScot) and selectively to private clients such as Pawprint and the University of Oxford's Pathogen Dynamics Group. Service lines include digital discovery compliant with the UK Government Service Standard, complex environmental data modelling (notably marine feature and personal carbon footprint data models), assessment and appraisal, and solution design — all aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals or equivalent frameworks.

Technically, Treligan is not a software vendor; its "products" are client-engagement deliverables such as the original Defra National Air Quality Hub (c.200 professional days over 18 months), the JNCC FeAST discovery phase (c.60 days), the NHS England National Low Carbon Menu Bank discovery (c.30 days) and the York & North Yorkshire Bioeconomy Mapping Project (c.40 days). It relies on a small in-house team supplemented by a network of partners (e.g., Verse for digital/UX, Biorenewables Development Centre for bioeconomy, Small World Consulting for carbon footprint science, Zambart for public health data architecture) rather than proprietary code or AI/ML systems. The firm has spun out Speak Carbon as a separate Community Interest Company for carbon literacy training.

Commercially, Treligan operates on a sales-led, project-based professional services model with free initial consultations, no publicly disclosed pricing, and revenue derived from discrete consulting engagements rather than recurring subscriptions. It maintains UK government procurement-relevant credentials including Cyber Essentials certification, ICO data protection registration, Carbon Literacy Trust–accredited directors, compliance with the UKRIO Code of Practice for Research, and a published Carbon Reduction Plan under PPN 06/21.

• Biorenewables Development CentrecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2023Treligan partnered with the Biorenewables Development Centre and their Biovale Cluster team for the York and North Yorkshire Bioeconomy Mapping Project. The BDC provided deep knowledge of the biorenewables context in the North Yorkshire region. They had previously worked together on 2019 food waste logistics trials and subsequently co-bid for WWF's Future Value of Seaweed project and NERC's Economic Appraisal of the UK Bioeconomy (which they won).
• Zambart (LSHTM and University of Zambia)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2023Collaboration with Zambart on the Pathogen Dynamics Group public health data architecture project.

Emerging players

• Metabolic: European sustainability consultancy focused on circular economy, climate advisory and data tools. Comparable to Treligan's circular economy framing and bioeconomy mapping, though operating across continental Europe rather than UK-only.

Broad incumbents

• RSK Group: UK environmental and engineering consultancy offering sustainability, ecology and environmental advisory services. Overlaps with Treligan's ecotoxicology, marine and bioeconomy mandate areas at much larger scale.
• Carbon Trust: UK-headquartered advisory firm specializing in carbon footprinting, net-zero strategy, and sustainability advisory. Overlaps with Treligan's carbon accounting, Net Zero by 2050 advisory work, and footprint behaviour change domain (Pawprint-like engagement).
• WSP Environment & Sustainability: Global professional services firm with a substantial UK environmental and sustainability consulting practice. Competes with Treligan in environmental data analysis, decarbonisation strategy and climate advisory work.
• Anthesis Group: Global sustainability consultancy offering strategy, reporting and carbon advisory services. Directly comparable to Treligan for ESG/sustainability consulting mandates, but operates at much larger scale across multiple geographies and industries.
• ERM (Environmental Resources Management): Global environmental, health, safety, risk and sustainability consultancy. Competes broadly with Treligan for sustainability and environmental data advisory work, particularly with large public and private sector clients.

Direct peers

• Avieco: UK-based sustainability and ESG advisory firm specializing in carbon footprinting, reporting and training services. Overlaps with Treligan's carbon literacy and personal/professional carbon footprint advisory offerings.
• Brite Green: UK sustainability consultancy supporting built environment clients with ESG strategy, reporting, and net-zero advisory. Comparable to Treligan's specialist sustainability advisory positioning, though Treligan operates across broader environmental and data domains.
• 3Keel Group: Oxford-based boutique consultancy specialising in nature, food and natural capital strategy. Comparable to Treligan's bioeconomy mapping, food systems (NHS Low Carbon Menu Bank) and nature-focused client work; similar scale and public-sector focus.
• Small World Consulting: UK-based sustainability consultancy focused on carbon footprinting and supply-chain emissions, co-developer with Treligan on the Pawprint project. Closely comparable on size and specialization, with overlapping customer profiles and methodology in footprint modelling.
