Environmental, operational and ESG consulting
Everyday problems, sorted into priorities.
Purchasing, stock, waste, water and energy, the team’s routine: we look at your operation as it really is and help you decide what’s worth changing first.
Illustrative example, not a client
A neighbourhood bakery
Lots of weekend orders, leftover dough on Monday and purchasing done “by feel”. That’s where the review starts: what gets bought, what gets lost and who decides.
Who it’s for
For businesses that want to spend less and waste less — without turning into a different company.
Retail and food
Shops, bakeries, cake shops and restaurants that buy often and lose things nobody measures.
Production and farming
Small producers and farms that want to get a grip on inputs, water and energy.
Growing teams
Businesses where everything goes through the owner and the routine has no clear owners yet.
What we look at
Six areas of a review.
Purchasing
What gets bought, from whom, how often and on what basis.
Stock
How it’s tracked, where there’s too much and where there’s too little.
Waste
Lost inputs, product and packaging — and why it happens.
Resources
Water, energy and materials used day to day.
Routine
Schedules, bottlenecks and tasks repeated for no reason.
Responsibilities
Who does what, and who decides at each step.
How it works
From review to a plan with names on it.
1Conversation
Understand the business and the problem that bothers you most.
2Observation
Follow the routine and gather the data that already exists.
3Priorities
Separate what’s urgent, what’s cheap and what pays back most.
4Plan
Actions with owners, deadlines and simple indicators.
5Follow-up
Measure again and adjust based on what actually happened.
No promises before we measure: we only talk about cutting costs or impact once we know your business’s numbers.
What you get
A plan that fits your routine.
No report that ends up in a drawer. The result is short, practical, with a name next to every action.
- A written review of what we saw, in plain language.
- A priority map: urgent, cheap and what pays back most.
- An action plan with owners, deadlines and simple indicators.
- A check-in after a while, to measure again and adjust.
Illustrative example of an indicator
“Kilos of dough thrown away per week”
One simple number, always noted the same way, is worth more than a spreadsheet nobody updates.
Frequently asked questions
What business owners usually ask.
Do I need organised data to start?
No. We start with what you have — receipts, notebooks, conversations with the team. Organising the data is part of the job.
Is it only for big companies?
No. The method was designed for small and mid-sized businesses, where every bit of waste hits the cash flow.
Do you award a seal or certification?
No. Carbomint is not a certification body. If your business needs a certification, we help you understand what it requires.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the business and the problem. In the first conversation we agree the scope and timeline in writing.
Want to take a calm look at your operation?
Tell us what kind of business you run and the problem that bothers you most. The first conversation is about understanding, not selling.
