Net Zero Nation

Net Zero Nation was co-founded in January 2021 by notch and the Scottish Business Network (SBN). It came from a mission to support SMEs in their Net Zero journey by offering guidance and expertise through an Accelerator Programme which has seen over 100 SMEs become certified to the Science Based Target Reporting Standards.

It is a not-for-profit social enterprise that has empowered SMEs to be able to develop and implement credible Net Zero strategies which strengthens their businesses to become more sustainable in the future with real commercial value in the present.

What’s involved in the Net Zero Accelerator?

 The Accelerator is a structured 12-month programme that mobilises and drives real action to mitigate GHG emissions.  It is underpinned by the “best in class” carbon accounting software notch, which each participant receives and this together with leading knowledge, support and collaboration creates a unique and powerful ecosystem.  

  “The Net Zero Accelerator is a practical and useful program that has allowed us to benchmark our carbon reduction and monitor this through the carbon accounting dashboard.”Maggie GormanBusiness Support & Development Director On graduating companies have the option to join the Net Zero Nation Eco-system to continue to drive their Net Zero Transition as part of a broader, collaborative, and supportive Net Zero community.

How big is the ecosystem?

We grew to over 1600 individual and member organisations and continue to foster this dedicated community through an active LinkedIn Group.Our evolution to Net Zero Nation in July 2021 was driven by business need: recognising the demand for a quick-start process to Net Zero, we created our pioneering Accelerator Programme which has seen almost 100 SMEs become Net Zero certified to the SECR, PPN 06/21 and Science base target reporting standards in 2023. Our ambition is to partner and collaborate with businesses globally to tackle the 50 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions which the world emits annually. We’re always happy to chat more about our journey to date and explore ways we can continue to grow.
