SkootEco - .eco champion
Making sustainability measurable, credible and good for business.
Sustainability is no longer a side project. Clients, investors and employees now expect businesses to show real progress, backed by real evidence. We spoke with Dr. Naomi Marden, Head of Operations, about how SkootEco can help.
Who is SkootEco?
SkootEco is an ESG consultancy and sustainability platform. We help businesses understand their environmental and social impact, act on it with confidence, and show their progress in a way people can trust.
Our clients range from founder-led companies to large organisations, and they are based all over the world. What they share is a desire to do sustainability properly: measured, verified and built into how the business runs.
We were named one of the UK's most innovative new businesses, an edie Awards finalist in 2024 and 2025, and we are a Top 5% B Corp.
What inspired SkootEco?
SkootEco was founded by CEO Greg Gormley, a serial entrepreneur. A life-changing accident gave Greg a new perspective on what truly matters. He came out of it determined to build a business that creates real value for people and the planet.
That conviction still shapes everything SkootEco does today.
What does SkootEco offer?
Everything we offer is modular, so each client builds the support that fits their goals, with no lock-ins.
- ESG strategy and carbon: carbon footprinting and net zero planning, reduction roadmaps and team training.
- Certifications: B Corp, EcoVadis and other accreditation support, from readiness to verification.
- Reporting and disclosure: ESG reporting, including CDP and SECR.
- Carbon credits and climate projects: verified carbon credits, sourced directly from project developers worldwide.
- Social impact: programmes that create lasting benefits for communities.
- Technology: SkootEco AI and the SkootEco Impact Profile.
What makes SkootEco's approach different?
Our work is guided by MARC, SkootEco's own framework for turning ESG ambition into action:
- Measure your ESG performance through audits, certifications and impact profiles.
- Avoid risks with compliance tools and supply chain reviews.
- Reduce your footprint with practical reduction plans and team training.
- Counter what remains with verified carbon credits and social impact projects.
The sequence matters. Credits come last, after a business understands and reduces its impact. This is what makes a sustainability commitment credible, and what turns it from a compliance exercise into a genuine source of value.
How does SkootEco approach carbon credits?
We work directly with project developers around the world. With no layers of intermediaries, more of every purchase reaches the projects themselves, and we know exactly where each credit comes from.
Every project is vetted and certified under recognised standards such as Gold Standard and Verra, and we work with other registries when a client requires it. Businesses can engage in the way that suits their strategy:
- Spot purchases of credits available today.
- Future purchases to secure credits from upcoming vintages.
- Project investment to support climate projects as they grow.
- Owning a project developed for your business.
We match each portfolio to the client's budget, goals and commitments. We then retire the credits on their behalf or transfer them to their own registry account. Every client receives a certificate and a SkootEco Impact Profile, giving them a transparent record of their impact they can share with confidence.
How does SkootEco use AI?
SkootEco AI is our carbon adviser. It supports businesses across the whole journey, from carbon assessment and reporting to reduction planning and countering remaining emissions, with clear, practical guidance in one place.
It brings expert-level support within reach of businesses of every size, while our team remains close at hand for the decisions that deserve a human perspective.
How does SkootEco support B Corp certification?
As a Top 5% B Corp, certified since January 2022, we know the journey first-hand. We help businesses become B Corp ready before verification, reshaping how they operate and drafting the required changes to their articles of association in-house.
The result is more than a certification. It's a business built to balance people, planet and profit for the long term.
Why did SkootEco choose a .eco domain?
skoot.eco has been our home since November 2021. A .eco domain tells clients and partners, before they read a single word, that sustainability is at the core of what we do. It also connects to our public .eco profile, where our environmental commitments are open for anyone to see.
We're proud to be part of the .eco community, and to support .eco's own climate commitments with verified carbon credits.
At .eco, we are fortunate to be surrounded by a community of businesses, organizations and individuals working hard to protect our planet. We are honoured to spread the word about the great work they're doing. If you are a member of the .eco community and would like to be featured, get in touch.
