GO CLIMATE POSITIVE LIMITED

What GO CLIMATE POSITIVE LIMITED does

GO CLIMATE POSITIVE LIMITED is a UK private limited company headquartered in Cheltenham that delivers carbon management services to small and medium-sized enterprises, with additional reach into public sector suppliers bidding for NHS and MOD tenders. The company operates a proprietary cloud-based portal — the Go Climate Positive Portal — that consolidates carbon footprint measurement, reduction target-setting, supplier data collection, action planning, and certification artefacts across 22 emissions categories in conformance with the GHG Protocol, PAS 2060, and Science-Based Targets methodology. Its core offerings include a monthly Road to Net Zero membership programme (priced at £49/month plus a £149 joining fee) with dedicated IEMA-accredited Carbon Coaches, PPN06/21 and PPN006 compliant Carbon Reduction Plans (£449–£739/year) for public procurement compliance, a Supplier Carbon Reduction Programme addressing Scope 3 emissions, Carbon Handprints (Gold Standard credits, avoided emissions, and UK woodland creation via a 9Trees partnership), and an independent Certification service with marketing badges.

The company generates revenue through a hybrid model combining recurring subscription (Road to Net Zero, MHEA Carbon Cluster Programme), one-time fees (Carbon Reduction Plans), affiliate/referral programmes rewarding existing members, and transaction-based offsetting and tree-planting sales. Go-to-market is multi-modal: a self-service website funnel, inside sales guided by Carbon Coaches through quarterly reviews, community-driven growth via monthly peer meetings and member referrals, and channel partnerships with industry associations such as the Material Handling Engineers Association. The company holds B Corp certification, Cyber Essentials certification, Living Wage Employer status, and Disability Confident status, and is a member of the Carbon Accounting Alliance. Founded by Eoin McQuone, the business operates with a small team of Carbon Coaches and has tracked cumulative customer outcomes of 7,612 tonnes CO2e reduced/avoided/offset and 2,341 trees planted since 2020.

Core offering

Go Climate Positive delivers accessible, coach-led carbon management services to UK businesses, primarily SMEs. Its offering combines a proprietary cloud-based portal (the Go Climate Positive Portal) with IEMA-accredited Carbon Coach support to calculate Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, build reduction roadmaps, certify progress toward Net Zero, and engage supply chains. Revenue comes from subscription memberships (Road to Net Zero), one-off PPN-compliant Carbon Reduction Plans, supply chain programmes, certification, and carbon credits/offsetting.

Product overview

Go Climate Positive offers a suite of interconnected carbon management services built around its cloud-based Go Climate Positive Portal platform. The core offerings include Carbon Reduction Plans (PPN-compliant for public procurement and full Scope 1-3 versions) and the Road to Net Zero monthly membership programme, both of which utilize the Portal for data collection, reporting, target-setting, and action planning. Add-on services include the Supplier Carbon Reduction Programme for supply-chain emissions management, Carbon Handprints (covering credits, avoided emissions, and nature regeneration), and Certification services. The programme follows GHG Protocol standards and includes Stakeholder Engagement and Net Zero Roadmap components as part of its structured pathway to Net Zero certification.
