Tuesday, April 4, 2023 • Duration 50:01

It’s more important than ever for the business community to play a part in protecting our planet. At COP27, there was an increased call for stronger action on net zero – but it can be difficult for smaller businesses to know where to start.

In this episode, we’re talking about sustainability in business with James Lizars, who is founder of accountancy firm Thrive, and Elliot Coad, CEO and co-founder of Ecologi whose carbon footprinting tool, Ecologi Zero, connects to Xero’s accounting software to give businesses the ability to calculate their carbon footprint and gain insights into their emissions, at no extra cost.

Take inspiration on how the accounting industry can not only measure and improve upon their own footprint and impact, but also how they can support millions of the UK’s small businesses to do their part too.

This podcast is hosted by Ash Gibson, brought to you by Xero and produced by Bird Lime Media.
