Why Our Carbon?

Addressing the Small Business Sustainability Dilemma

Here’s a sobering truth: a mere 1 in 10 small businesses have dived into their carbon accounting. Juggling daily tasks with rising costs makes sustainability seem like a distant dream. That's where Our Carbon steps in. We get it—and that’s why we've tailored our approach with conscientious pricing and a keen understanding of small business hurdles.

It's Our Carbon, Our Call

"Our Carbon" isn’t just a name. It’s a nod to the simple truth that the carbon we produce is ours to manage and reduce. It's not about pointing fingers; it’s about recognizing our role in the carbon story and stepping up. We aim to instil a proactive approach, where leading the change is just what we do.

Accuracy: The Unsung Hero of Genuine Sustainability

Accuracy is pivotal when we talk about carbon footprints. Identifying a baseline with laser-like precision isn’t a mere bureaucratic step, it lets you truly grasp your business’s green impact. Our Carbon’s mission? Ensuring your sustainability investments aren’t based on estimates but on the real deal, driving tangible progress and ROI.

No Hidden Fees, Just Visible Impact

When it comes to costs, Our Carbon doesn’t play hide-and-seek. Our fee structure is unambiguous, and designed for affordability, ensuring that you channel your investments into creating substantive impact instead of deciphering complex pricing.

It’s a collective effort, with all of us from myriad walks of life, pooling together our various expertise in sustainability, tech, business strategy, finance, and, yes, even the expansive universe, to offer something genuinely tailored and accessible. Imagine a room where the astrophysicist, the tech leader, and the environmentalist walk in, not for a punchline, but to rigorously create, debate, and fine-tune approaches that align with the needs and realities of SMEs.
