Our Story
Established in 1997, Best Foot Forward has successfully completed well over 1000 footprint analyses helping more than 100 organisations to measure, manage, communicate and reduce their environmental impact.
Whether you are interested in standards compliance, strategy development, or measuring the footprint of products, services or events, Best Foot Forward can provide the metrics you need.
The Energy Saving Trust is a non-profit and independent organisation, funded by the government and the private sector, which provides free impartial advice to help households reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. The Energy Saving Trust is reviewing its suite of customer facing tools and required an examination of current footprinting tools and how they may be developed in the future to provide visitors to their website with the most accurate and comprehensive information. The Energy Saving Trust commissioned BFF to undertake a thorough review of carbon footprint calculators available for consumers and households. The review covered over 30 online calculators assessing them in terms of user attributes and technical ability. The study then assessed likely drivers and how they will shape the future of such tools.
BFF client Sheppard Robson has been awarded the "Most Sustainable Practice" award from Architecture Journal. The award is sponsored by another BFF client InterfaceFlor. In 2008 Sheppard Robson commissioned BFF to assess the carbon and ecological footprints of their annual office activities in London and Manchester. The results from the study have enabled them to develop a strategy to monitor and reduce their footprint in the future.
Best Foot Forward offers sustainability products, designs sustainability tools and delivers sustainability publications. We work with clients to measure the business carbon footprint, offer wider carbon accounting services and provide business carbon calculator tools. Ecological footprint analysis (also known as the environmental footprint) is another area of expertise we apply to support environmental impact projects
