AAT seeks volunteers to use Net Zero software

aat comment

AAT wants to hear from licensed members who would like to use a new software platform designed to make light work of implementing action plans to reach net zero. 

Net Zero Now is cloud software that calculates carbon emissions, sets targets, and generates a tailored reduction plan for the subscriber. 

AAT, along with the ICAEW, ACCA and the Good Business Charter, have assisted Net Zero Now by creating a protocol for the accountancy sector, which will be used by the software to certify users. 

This protocol can be downloaded directly from netzeronow.org/accountants, along with a free ‘playbook’ of helpful ideas. Alternatively, companies can subscribe to the Net Zero Now software platform and have it do the heavy lifting. 

What AAT is looking for?

AAT wants to find two practices of 2-25 people interested in taking steps towards net zero. We would like to report on their learnings from implementing a plan, along with how the software platform has helped.

How will your practice benefit?

All costs of using the software will be covered. You will also be given help during the onboarding phase.

Why is AAT doing this?

Achieving net zero is going to be challenging, but it is a legal requirement. We want to help our membership by sharing learnings of how to go about this.

Adam Williamson, AAT’s head of responsible business and policy, commented: “AAT is very aware that net zero can seem daunting, and we want to work closely with our members help them engage with it.” 

How to apply?

To be considered, drop an email to the Content Team briefly describing your company and why you want to be involved. 

David Nunn is a former Content Manager at AAT.
