An innovative supplier emissions platform using industry standards and ML to enable consistent measurement and reporting of supplier-emissions data

NZN是一家总部位于英国的气候技术中小企业，其核心项目团队包括Neil Ross Russell（战略/MD）、Matt Overall（技术/CTO）、Simon Heppner（气候/执行董事）和大卫罗瑟拉（销售/商务总监）。虽然财务会计原则确保投资者能够衡量/比较各业务的财务影响，并奖励那些最有效地使用资本的公司，但管理碳会计的全球指导方针尚不明确。由于缺乏一致、可信的排放数据，建筑业的气候行动和市场效率受到了限制，2019年建筑业产生了1300万吨二氧化碳当量。这极大地影响了实现净零排放的努力，并创造了对全行业系统的巨大需求，以监测、减少和一致地报告排放，同时提高市场效率。NZN正在与建筑行业的主要参与者合作开发“气候意识承包商”认证标志，包括一套明确的认证标准，以及一个“小型承包商排放计算器”，以便在整个建筑价值链中对小型承包商的碳排放进行一致的测量。该计算器将解决未满足的需求，使小型承包商能够在年度和项目基础上测量碳排放量。通过强大的影响计算和相关的认证标志，建筑行业的主要参与者（一级承包商、政府和地方当局、房主等）可以奖励低碳承包商，并最大限度地减少其范围3和项目相关排放。这与政府最近的净零审查中的建议完全一致。（英国政府，2023年）创建“跨价值链合作与合作的论坛，以衡量排放”，并将大大有助于英国到2050年实现净零排放的努力。

NZN is a UK-based climate-tech SME with a core project team of Neil Ross Russell (Strategy/MD), Matt Overall (Tech/CTO), Simon Heppner (Climate/Executive Director) and David Rothera (Sales/Commercial Director).While financial accounting principles ensure investors can measure/compare financial impacts across businesses and reward those that use capital most effectively, global guidelines that govern carbon accounting are unclear. This lack of consistent, credible data concerning emissions effectively limits climate action and market efficiency across the construction industry, which created 13M tonnes of CO2e in 2019\. This dramatically impacts efforts to reach net zero and creates a substantial need for industry-wide systems to monitor, reduce and consistently report emissions while increasing market efficiency.NZN is collaborating with key players in the construction industry to develop a “Climate Conscious Contractor” certification mark, including a clear set of criteria for achieving certification, and a “small contractor emissions calculator” to enable consistent measurement of carbon emissions by small contractors across the construction value chain. The calculator will address an unmet need, enabling small contractors to measure carbon emissions on both an annual and project basis. Through the robust impact calculation and associated Certification Mark, key players in the Construction sector (Tier 1 contractors, Government & local authorities, homeowners, etc) can, reward low-carbon contractors and minimise their own Scope 3 and project-related emissions.This is perfectly aligned with the recommendation in the Government's recent Net Zero Review (Gov.uk,2023) to create "forums for collaboration and cooperation across value chains to measure emissions" and will significantly aid the UK's efforts to reach net zero by 2050.
