Carbon reporting for agencies: the commercial case and how to prepare
BCI Webinar
For creative and digital agencies, carbon data is increasingly a mandatory condition for winning/continuing a contract. Whether that’s a direct request for emissions data as part of a supplier assessment, a line in an RFP asking how you’re managing your environmental impact, or a Gov/NHS tender requiring a Carbon Reduction Plan – if you don’t have an answer ready, you risk losing the pitch before you’ve had the chance to make your case.
In this session, we’ll explore: why carbon reporting is becoming a commercial necessity, what the most common reporting frameworks require, and how to respond credibly – even without in-house carbon expertise.
Whether you’re actively pursuing B Corp, responding to requests from clients, or simply want to understand what’s coming and how to prepare, this session will give you a clear, practical picture of the commercial case for carbon reporting and what to do next.
This session is for creative and digital agency teams that are being asked for carbon data, or expect to be soon. You could be an agency owner, bid manager, compliance lead, marketing manager, or anyone else picking up these data requests alongside their main role – no prior carbon knowledge needed. We’ll keep it practical and focus on what agencies need to do to respond credibly, whatever your starting point.
