Carbon Accounting
Count what matters. Get the smart reporting tools you need to measure and reduce your impact in the transition to a low carbon economy.
At Ake we’re making Carbon Accounting accessible and affordable for businesses and organisations of all sizes.
What is Carbon Accounting?
Carbon Accounting measures your business or organisation’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. These emissions come from activities such as fuel and electricity use, purchasing goods and services, waste production, travel, and investments.
Why should I be doing Carbon Accounting?
A new era of mandatory climate related reporting is underway. Already around 200 entities in New Zealand are required to produce climate-related disclosures - ultimately impacting the businesses that do businesses with them. As a result, a much wider range of companies will be asked to start measuring their emissions.
Carbon Accounting provides vital transparency and evidence for consumers that a business is serious about sustainability. A 2024 survey by the Sustainable Business Council found that 71% of New Zealanders feel it’s difficult to tell which products/services are good or bad ethically or environmentally.
By proactively adopting carbon accounting now, you’ll be well prepared for customer inquiries and be able to authentically communicate the positive changes your business is making.
