Our Story
Clients and Case Studies
Intense demand for carbon accounting has led to the emergence of a large number of practitioners over the past five years. In such a crowded market place, experience counts – and we have been working as specialist environmental accountants since 1997. In that time we have completed over 300 footprint projects ranging in scale from a single apple from South Africa, to the entire NHS. A small number of our recent projects are presented below. Even if your sector isn’t listed below, the chances are we will have done a related or relevant project in the past – contact us to find out more.
CLIENT NAME
Luton Borough Council
YEAR
2008
Local authorities are increasingly required to control organisational emissions and lead the management of emissions authority-wide. Luton Borough Council appointed BFF to undertake a holistic carbon and ecological footprint analysis of its corporate activities and the region as a whole. This included the assessment of the effectiveness of regional transport policies and where the council should concentrate efforts to meet corporate emissions targets under the new Carbon Reduction Commitment.
CLIENT NAME
The South West England Environment Trust
YEAR
2005
The South West region benefits from an outstanding landscape and rich cultural heritage which attract over 20 million visits by tourists each year. The regional government is acutely aware of its need to preserve the natural environment whilst encouraging economic growth and improving quality of life. In order to make informed decisions and develop effective policies, local decision makers first needed to understand the current environmental position. BFF met this need by completing ‘Stepping Forward’, a resource flow and ecological footprint analysis of the South West.
CLIENT NAME
Chartered Institute of Wastes Management
YEAR
2002
This pioneering study was commissioned by IWM as part of the Biffa Programme on Sustainable Resource Use. The study assessed the resource flows and ecological footprint of Greater London with the aim of providing an evidence base with which to influence policy. The report was welcomed by the Mayor of London as “particularly important because it is the first such analysis of a major world city”. The 'City Limits' report has been widely lauded, and now forms part of the curriculum in London schools.
