Carbon freebie

8 July, 2022

This week on the Goods we want to highlight a great new business product from one of our longest standing clients.

NatWest is launching its Digital Carbon Planner tool this month, and it is going live on July 28th. The tool will allow all UK businesses, including those which are not NatWest customers, to start their journey to better understand and manage their carbon footprint. The tool, designed with the help of customers, will support businesses to understand their emissions hotspots in scopes 1 and 2, understand which reduction options might be best for their business, start planning next steps and deliver on their plan.

If you are ready to take a bigger step in understanding and managing your carbon impact, our friends at Net Zero Now have been working hard to create sector specific protocols to help SMEs understand their emissions throughout their value chain (scopes 1,2, and 3). They can also support you in defining reduction targets and get you certified net zero. .

Every organisation will need to play their part to get to net zero by 2050, yet access to support in carbon accounting and management services for SMEs is very limited, so it is great to see tools to support small business owners.
