Sustainability Services for SMEs
Many small and medium-sized businesses want to do the right thing on sustainability, but are stretched for time, budget and specialist expertise. Ecostatis Limited offers tailored, fixed scope services that help SMEs move from good intentions to clear, credible action, without getting lost in acronyms or complex frameworks.
Our SME services are designed to fit around real pressures: limited internal capacity, changing customer expectations, and increasing ESG information requests from banks, clients and supply chain partners.

1. Sustainability / ESG Health Check for SMEs
A fast, practical assessment of where you stand today, and what you should focus on next.
We review how sustainability and ESG show up across your business, using a simple framework tailored to SMEs. The health check looks at issues such as climate and energy, waste, supply chain, people, governance, and the external expectations you are facing from customers, lenders and regulators.
What you get
- A short, plain English summary of your current ESG and sustainability position.
- A simple risk and opportunity map across key topics.
- 3–5 priority actions for the next 6–12 months, aligned with your capacity and sector.
Who it's for
- SMEs starting to receive ESG questionnaires, supplier codes or sustainability questions from clients.
- Small businesses wanting to understand "where we stand" before committing to a bigger programme.
2. Carbon & Net Zero Lite
A practical starting point for understanding and managing your emissions.
Full carbon footprints and detailed net zero strategies can be overwhelming for smaller businesses. Our Carbon & Net Zero Lite service gives you a clear, proportionate starting point: a high level view of your main emissions sources and a simple route map to begin reducing them.
What we do
- Help identify the key activities that drive your emissions (e.g. energy, travel, vehicles, key suppliers).
- Develop a practical, high level carbon baseline using available data and sensible assumptions.
- Outline priority reduction actions and a simple net zero pathway, tailored to your size and sector.
What you get
- A concise carbon snapshot and summary that you can share with stakeholders.
- A short action plan outlining realistic next steps, including "no regrets" measures.
- Clarity on when and how it might make sense to invest in more detailed carbon accounting.
Who it's for
- SMEs being asked for carbon information by clients, funders or frameworks, but who have never done this before.
- Businesses wanting to move beyond generic "net zero by 2050" statements to something practical and evidence based.
3. Tender Ready ESG Pack for SMEs
Win work by closing the ESG documentation gap in bids and supplier onboarding.
More tenders and supplier onboarding processes now include ESG and sustainability sections that can be hard for smaller firms to complete. Our Tender Ready ESG Pack helps you respond confidently, with documentation that reflects what you actually do and can scale as you grow.
What we do
- Review the typical ESG and sustainability requirements you are seeing in tenders and supplier forms.
- Draft or refine core documents such as an ESG policy, environmental policy, and a short sustainability statement.
- Provide a simple metrics and evidence template to help you track and report the basics.
What you get
- A concise ESG policy and environmental policy in line with your operations and sector.
- A short, consistent sustainability narrative you can reuse across tenders and client questionnaires.
- A basic data/evidence template so you can start building proof over time.
Who it's for
- SMEs losing points in tenders because they lack ESG documentation.
- Suppliers being asked for consistent ESG information by multiple major clients and frameworks.
How we work with SMEs
We know smaller businesses cannot afford long, open ended consulting projects. Our SME services are:
- Fixed scope and transparent – clear deliverables, timelines and fees from the outset.
- Practical and proportionate – focused on what will make a real difference for your business, not what looks good only in a report.
- Designed for non specialists – we explain concepts in plain language, build on what you already do, and leave you with tools you can use yourself.
If you are an SME owner, director or manager who feels the pressure around ESG and climate but is unsure where to start, these services are built with you in mind.
