About
About Carter Sustainability Consulting
Carter Sustainability Consulting is an independent sustainability advisory focused on carbon, decarbonisation, ESG data and investment decision support.
The consultancy
Technical analysis connected to practical delivery.
We combine technical carbon expertise, data analysis, business modelling and practical project delivery to help organisations move from sustainability ambition to informed action.
The consultancy is led by Chris Carter, whose experience spans corporate Net Zero programmes, Scope 3 methodology, carbon data management, transport decarbonisation, ESG analytics and sustainability consulting.
Work is delivered for UK and international clients, including remotely, as defined projects or specialist support alongside an existing team.
Our delivery model
Lean, senior-led consulting.
Core sustainability, carbon, analytical and strategic work is delivered directly within the consultancy. Where specialist engineering, legal, financial or other technical expertise is required, appropriate specialists are engaged for clearly defined workstreams and integrated into the wider project.
Why the model works
- Direct senior involvement
- Continuity throughout the project
- No unnecessary consulting layers
- Specialist expertise brought in only when required
- Lower overhead
- Clear accountability
- Practical and evidence-led recommendations
Our principles
Trace numbers to their source
Material figures should be supported by clear source data, methods, assumptions and evidence.
Governance before tooling
Ownership, accountability and controls need to be clear before software can improve the process.
Strategy that can be delivered
Recommendations must reflect available capital, operating constraints, capability and implementation dependencies.
Explain uncertainty honestly
Estimates and limitations are stated clearly rather than hidden behind numerical precision.
Focus on material issues
Effort is directed towards the decisions and data weaknesses that could meaningfully change the outcome.
Avoid unnecessary complexity
Methods and tools should be proportionate, usable and maintainable by the organisation after the engagement.
