What is a carbon footprint report?

A carbon footprint report calculates the greenhouse gas emissions produced by a company, typically following DEFRA guidelines and covering Scope 1, 2, and optionally Scope 3 emissions.

How quickly can I get a carbon report?

We offer standard turnaround and a 72-hour express option, depending on how quickly we receive your data. Most clients receive their report within 1–2 weeks.

Do I need to provide data every year?

No — if you're a returning client, we retain your previous structure and only request updated information. This makes annual renewals faster and easier.

Is EcoCalcs compliant with SECR and ISO standards?

Yes, our reports are designed to comply with SECR requirements and follow ISO 14064-1:2018 methodology using DEFRA GHG Conversion Factors.

Can you help if I've never done carbon reporting before?

Absolutely. EcoCalcs is built to guide new clients through the process with minimal input required. We make carbon reporting simple, even for first-timers.
