Problem
Suppliers bidding for UK public-sector contracts increasingly need to evidence carbon reporting and net zero progress, yet many lack the in-house expertise to produce credible, procurement-ready submissions. Complex frameworks such as PPN 006 and the Evergreen Assessment demand accurate emissions baselines and structured Carbon Reduction Plans, creating a significant compliance burden for organisations under deadline pressure.
Solution
C Free provides end-to-end carbon reporting and net zero support tailored to tender success and procurement readiness. The company calculates organisational carbon footprints using the GHG Protocol, prepares Carbon Reduction Plans, and guides suppliers through the Evergreen Assessment with dedicated support sessions. A structured digital portal reduces back-and-forth and accelerates data collection, while expert advice ensures outputs are defensible and aligned with current UK policy. C Free helps organisations define the right level of analysis—whether corporate, product, or lifecycle-based—so reporting meets both compliance needs and commercial objectives.
