MAKING CARBON REPORTING ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY BUSINESS
ValueChain exists because measuring your carbon footprint should not require a corporate budget or a team of consultants.
Why We Exist
The Problem We Set Out To Solve
Most UK SMEs know they should measure their carbon footprint. Only about one in ten actually have.
It is not because they do not care. It is because the options do not fit. Enterprise consultancies charge enterprise prices. Free online calculators do not produce anything you would want to show a client. And figuring it out yourself takes more time than most business owners have available.
We started ValueChain to fill that gap: credible GHG assessments, built specifically for businesses that need the credibility without the complexity or the cost.
Our Approach
Three principles guide everything we do.
Simple
We translate technical methodology into language you can actually understand. You do not need to know what an emission factor is or where your organisational boundary sits. You just need to know your numbers and what to do with them. That is what we provide.
Positive
Measuring your carbon footprint is not about guilt or pressure. It is about understanding where you are so you can make progress. We are here to help you get clear on the facts, not to lecture you about what you should have done already.
Action
Reports that sit in drawers do not change anything. Every assessment we deliver comes with practical recommendations you can actually implement. We focus on what is achievable for businesses your size, not theoretical targets that would never work in practice.
Part Of Something Bigger
Our Connection To Somerset Origination
ValueChain sits alongside Somerset Origination, which works on carbon credit certification for climate mitigation projects. Different focus, but the same underlying commitment: making it easier for organisations to take meaningful climate action, whether that is measuring their own footprint or supporting projects that reduce emissions elsewhere.
Ready When You Are
Get Your Carbon Assessment
Only about one in ten UK SMEs have measured their carbon footprint. If you are considering it, you are already ahead. No sales pressure. No jargon. Just clarity on what is involved and whether we are the right fit.
