The Association of International Accountants (AIA), a leading professional body for accountants and finance professionals is pleased to announce its latest partnership with leading climate platform, Net Zero Now – the climate experts who enable accountancy firms to measure and reduce their carbon emissions.

This new partnership will provide AIA members access to Net Zero Now’s industry-backed standard for carbon reduction and the ability for accountancy practices to take action on climate and get ‘Net Zero’ certified.

With the climate crisis upon us, we must all play our part and take action if we are to meet the UK government’s target for our whole economy to reach Net Zero by 2050. Those businesses acting now are not only the ones creating a brighter future for us all but are also able to take advantage of the many commercial benefits from becoming a more sustainable business. By being seen to act on climate and by getting certified with Net Zero Now, accountancy firms will:

• Gain a competitive advantage
• Win more business
• Generate considerable savings from energy use, reducing waste, use of paper, staff travel, office refurbs etc
• Hire and retain better staff
• Be more likely to secure investment

Announcing the partnership, AIA Sales and Marketing Director Carl Jepson said: “We are very pleased to welcome leading climate platform, Net Zero Now, as a new strategic partner. Net Zero Now will offer our members an industry-backed, sector specific platform providing our members with a clear, simple route to make an immediate impact on the climate crisis.”

Neil Ross Russell, Net Zero Now Managing Director, added: “We are delighted to be partnering with the AIA and look forward to working closely with both the Association and its members. We’re excited to see more and more accountancy practices starting to calculate their emissions and get on the road to Net Zero – creating a brighter future for their businesses and for the planet.”
