ESOS Compliance & Net Zero Strategy
Fully managed ESOS compliance and Net Zero integration
ESOS is no longer just a compliance exercise.
Organisations are increasingly expected to demonstrate credible energy and carbon reduction plans to customers, investors, procurement frameworks and regulators.
We help organisations move beyond ESOS compliance through practical energy and carbon reduction strategies. From ESOS audits and reporting to Net Zero planning and Scope 1–3 emissions management, our services are designed to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and support evolving reporting requirements.
What our clients say
I recently worked with Changing Footprint and couldn’t be more impressed. They took the time to understand our organisation from the ground up, clearly explained the data gathering and modelling, and made sure the recommended actions were realistic and aligned with our operational context. What I appreciated most was their ability to translate technical sustainability jargon into meaningful, actionable steps that we could implement straight away.
Changing Footprint helped us understand our energy use and even gave us a tool to help us compare costs in the future! Thank you 🙂
Your Energy Reporting Experts
Understanding your energy consumption and energy saving opportunities is fundamental to ESOS compliance and creating a Net Zero pathway.
We manage the process within our data platform, which stores and transforms business information and energy data. This keeps everything in one place, making things transparent, efficient and engaging.
Our ESOS and site audit reports give you the clarity and data needed to create action plans, meet compliance standards and communicate your progress confidently.
What we cover
Across our work, we have supported organisations to:
- Identify and prioritise energy and Carbon saving opportunities across large, diverse estates.
- Quantify Carbon baselines and translate Carbon and energy saving opportunities into credible, investable programmes.
- Work alongside in-house teams to build confidence and capability.
- Address operational and maintenance concerns that can otherwise stall progress.
- Develop robust business cases that stand up to internal scrutiny.
- Manage procurement and delivery of low-carbon energy projects.
Our experience spans the full lifecycle — from early-stage assessment and strategy through to procurement, installation and performance evaluation.

Three Levels of ESOS and Net Zero Support
We offer three service tiers that provide increasing levels of analysis, engagement and strategic support. This enables organisations to move from regulatory compliance to integrated company wide energy and Carbon reduction.
Core
Understand and comply
Establishes your total energy consumption and identifies opportunities to reduce energy use across your organisation, including physical site audits. We then produce a compliant ESOS Report and supporting evidence pack that meets Environment Agency requirements.
Integrated
Prioritise and plan
Moves beyond ESOS compliance by working with your operations and finance teams to develop business cases for energy and carbon reduction opportunities across your organisation. We then produce a Net Zero Plan aligned to your operational priorities and business objectives.
Full Scope
All Carbon emissions
Expands your Net Zero strategy to include Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, creating a comprehensive carbon reduction plan beyond energy alone. Full emissions reporting is becoming increasingly important for customers, investors and regulators, with UK procurement and reporting requirements expected to tighten from 2027/28.
