Thames Environment is a UK environmental compliance consultancy helping companies across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland understand and meet their environmental obligations. From ESOS Phase 4 energy audits and packaging EPR (pEPR) producer reporting to environmental permit applications, SECR carbon reporting, ISO 14001 and UK CBAM readiness, we combine regulatory expertise with the hands-on work to get you compliant.

Why businesses choose a specialist environmental consultant

UK environmental regulation is expanding fast: modulated pEPR fees, ESOS Phase 4, UK CBAM from January 2027, the Deposit Return Scheme from October 2027, mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain and the arrival of UK Sustainability Reporting Standards. Missing a threshold or deadline can mean five-figure penalties, enforcement notices and lost tenders. An experienced environmental compliance consultant identifies exactly which rules apply, handles the audits, data and filings, and keeps you ahead of change — usually for less than the cost of one mistake.
