With sustainability climbing on the agenda, small business owners will be wondering how to juggle tighter budgets while tackling their environmental impact.

For some—like public sector suppliers or those businesses in heavily regulated industries—carbon audits are no longer optional.

But even if you’re not yet mandated to act, getting ahead now can save money and future-proof your business.UK SMEs are responsible for an estimated 15m tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.

A CarbonNow carbon audit gives you a clear breakdown of your emissions, showing where reductions can be made. But it’s not just about saving the planet (although that’s a bonus)—it’s about compliance, cost savings, and staying competitive.

If recent changes to government policy feel overwhelming or your clients are starting to ask awkward questions about your sustainability policies, you’re not alone. Carbon audits are particularly relevant for:

  • Businesses bidding for public sector contracts – If you’re tendering for government projects worth £5m or more, PPN 06/21 makes a Carbon Reduction Plan mandatory. Without it, your business won’t be considered.
  • SMEs in supply chains – Big businesses have been asking their suppliers to measure and report emissions as part of their own net-zero strategies.
  • Sectors under scrutiny – Those in Construction, transport, and manufacturing, in particular, are feeling the heat to monitor and reduce their emissions.

What's in it for you?
Let’s be honest: when budgets are already squeezed, spending on a carbon audit might not feel like a huge priority. But the benefits can far outweigh the cost, especially if compliance or your reputation is at stake. 

  • Stay Compliant: If you’re bidding for contracts or working in regulated industries, a carbon audit ensures you meet criteria like PPN 06/21 without nasty surprises.
  • Save Money: Carbon audits often highlight ways to cut costs—think reduced energy bills, lower waste, and more efficient processes.
  • Win New Business: Clients and customers increasingly demand transparency on sustainability. Showing your commitment can give you a competitive edge.
  • Be Prepared for the Future: Environmental regulations are only going to increase. Acting now will save you headaches down the line.
