ICAEW has signed a partnership with sustainability specialists SaveMoneyCutCarbon to assist accountants with achieving sustainability goals at work
The new partnership recognises ICAEW’s vision of the role that they believe chartered accountants can play in tackling the climate crisis and their carbon neutral status.
ICAEW members will be able to access free energy and carbon mentor calls provided by SaveMoneyCutCarbon’s IEMA qualified experts. These calls are designed to help accountants understand how they can decarbonise their buildings’ assets through retrofit technology designed to save money on energy and water bills.
Small businesses are serviced via tailored online shopfronts, while larger enterprise customers benefit from an end-to-end service from initial audit, generating a decarbonisation roadmap to final fit.
Andrew Pittams, commercial director of ICAEW, said: ‘We are pleased to announce our new affinity partner, SaveMoneyCutCarbon. This partnership will help ICAEW and our members contribute towards the aims set out in the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, both key strategic themes for the organisation.
‘We hope that the expertise SaveMoneyCutCarbon provide will help support members mitigate the risk of climate change and help make greener choices for themselves, their organisations and their clients. We look forward to developing and nurturing this partnership in years to come.’
Mark Sait, CEO of SaveMoneyCutCarbon added: ‘Corporate HomeClub is a unique way to save the planet, one member/employee at a time and showcases the difference a group of people can make when they add their sustainable swaps together.
‘Combining this with Energy & Carbon Mentor calls to help businesses who are suffering from energy price rises to reduce their bills constitutes an innovative approach by ICAEW to ensure their members are best placed to help save the planet.’
ICAEW members and staff will also be able to address the rising cost of energy prices in their own homes by accessing SaveMoneyCutCarbon’s Home Club app at a reduced price to allow them to buy eco-friendly products and reduce their carbon footprint.
