About Warneford Consulting

The company specialises in producing bespoke CIF funding submissions and securing zero-cost renewable energy solutions.

MyCarbon's Services
- Sustainability Quick Scan (SQS): The SQS acts as a Carbon Action Plan (CAP) for schools and other businesses, which helps layout the key steps of the future decarbonisation process and makes the case for the cost and carbon benefits of each stage. Getting a clear picture of your CAP can be crucial in helping you to demonstrate a clear ROI to both potential funders and internal stakeholders, ensuring that future investments to the school represent improvements in infrastructures and impact management. Through working with Warneford Consulting, we are offering these at a reduced rate to schools.
- Carbon Footprint Reporting: Measuring your carbon footprint is a crucial first step towards reducing your impact on the environment. By understanding your emissions, you can develop a targeted approach to cutting your carbon footprint, while also identifying opportunities for cost savings and operational efficiencies. The framework for our corporate greenhouse gas assessment is supported by principals and requirements listed in ISO 14064-1.
- Net-Zero Strategies: We believe in getting as close to your business as possible, which is why we love to visit you on site so we can get a real feel for your challenges and spot any immediate quick win reductions. Once we’ve mapped out your business, we utilise carbon modelling to create reduction scenarios that identify the most efficient and effective routes to net-zero. We also develop a custom net-zero dashboard for your business to monitor your progress and keep you on track. Our consultants will also schedule regular check-ins to tackle any challenges as they arise and support you throughout the journey.
Relevance to Warneford Consulting
The partnership between MyCarbon and Warneford Consulting is a strategic collaboration that combines complementary expertise in carbon management and educational infrastructure improvement. MyCarbon’s focus on comprehensive carbon footprint assessments, net-zero strategies, and emissions reduction aligns perfectly with Warneford Consulting’s commitment to enhancing the education estate.
By offering SQSs to schools at a reduced rate, this partnership ensures that educational institutions can operate efficiently and sustainably, creating an optimal learning environment while meeting the Department for Education’s long-term sustainability goals. By leveraging our combined expertise, we provide comprehensive solutions that address both immediate challenges and strategic objectives, guiding schools towards net-zero and fostering a sustainable future for the next generation.
