Industries we help

Sector Specific

Education

Universities and colleges are being held accountable by students, staff and funders to act on climate commitments.

Kinto Join has successfully supported numerous Top Universities on Sustainability projects. Larger institutions are increasingly subject to SECR, and many are voluntarily aligning with CSRD or TCFD frameworks. Meanwhile, 90% of UK students say they want their university to act on climate change, and faculty, staff, and unions are applying pressure on ESG fronts, from carbon targets to ethical investments.

Hospitality, Events and Sports

Hospitality and events businesses are under growing scrutiny to deliver measurable sustainability, not just marketing claims.

UK companies in this sector with 250+ employees or £36M + turnover fall under SECR, requiring disclosure of energy use and GHG emissions. On the customer side, platforms like TripAdvisor and Bookings.com’s Sustainable Travel Badge are elevating sustainability visibility – and guests now expect real progress, not greenwashing. Despite this, most of the hospitality sector still manages ESG via spreadsheets or occasional consultants, with no industry-specific solution.

Healthcare (NHS Suppliers)

Supplying the NHS now means meeting strict ESG and carbon reporting requirements.

The NHS is the world’s first health system to commit to Net Zero, and it’s already embedding ESG compliance across its £27B+ supply chain. Under PPN 06/21, all suppliers bidding on contracts over £5M must submit a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP), covering Scope 1-3 emissions and updated annually. From April 2024, these requirements will apply to smaller contracts, meaning thousands of SMEs and mid-sized suppliers now need to comply. Kinto Zero offers the software and support needed to help suppliers create audit ready CRPs, reduce emissions, and align with NHS procurement rules.

Logistics and Transportation

With rising pressures to decarbonise transport operations, logistics firms are being asked to account for every mile and litre of fuel.

Mid-sized logistics and transport companies are under growing pressure to decarbonise core operations, especially Scope 1 (fleet emissions) and Scope 3 (staff commuting, outsourced delivery, supply chain). As CSRD and client-led ESG expectations rise, businesses in this fleet-heavy sector must now quantify and reduce emissions to stay competitive. Labour shortages are compounding the challenge, with driver and depot staff retention often linked to poor commuting options, Kinto Join can support on making commuting more accessible and affordable.

Manufacturing

Manufacturers are facing urgent pressures from regulators and major buyers to disclose emissions and show progress on Net Zero.

Across Europe, thousands of mid-sized manufacturers from FMCG to food production, agriculture services, and wholesale are all caught under CSRD and face rising pressure from large buyers to report Scope 1-3 emissions. Most of these businesses are early in their ESG journey, and we are here to help carve the pathway to achieving sustainable business operations

Financial Services

As regulators and investors tighten expectations, ESG is becoming a baseline requirement across finance – not a differentiator, but a licence to operate

Financial service firms are leading the way with being ESG reporters and enforcers, especially those in private equity, real estate and asset management. Many mid-sized funds fall under CSRD, SFDR, or ESG-linked financing frameworks, and must not only report their own sustainability data, but also track ESG performance across all portfolio companies. The problem? They lack the tools to gather consistent, comparable ESG data at scale. Kinto Zero offers a clean solution: streamlined data collection and assurance ready reports with custom workflows and templates.

Charities

Charities are being held to higher standards, not just in how they spend money but in how they manage their environmental impact.

Charities are increasingly expected to demonstrate sustainability in operations, funding bids and public engagement – particularly those receiving government grants or working in health, education and international development. Donors, partners and regulators are pushing for transparency on environmental impact, yet most organisations lack the tools or bandwidth for structured ESG reporting.

No matter the sector; whether you’re managing fleets, running campuses, hosting guests, supplying the NHS, or overseeing investment – Kinto gives mid-sized organisations the tools they need to meet growing ESG demand without the overwhelm. With Kinto Zero, you get intuitive, audit ready ESG reporting software that makes it easy to capture emissions data, comply with frameworks like CSRD, SECR, and PPN 06/21, and respond to procurement, investor or funder expectations. And with Kinto Join, you can tackle Scope 3 transport emissions while improving staff retention through smarter commuting.

As regulators and buyers raise the bar, Kinto helps you stay compliant, credible and competitive. We turn ESG from a burden into a business advantage.
