Two lucky individuals are set to boost their sustainability know-how and add an enviable name to their CVs after being selected as winners of Net Zero Now’s latest competition.

Empowering Leaders in Sustainability: Insights from Competition Winners
Winner Stuart commented: “I am super excited to have won and inspired to really focus and learn as much as I can about what sustainability means for our firm. One of my passions is conservation and combating climate change so a course that looks at sustainability in leadership seemed something too good not to enter!”
Net Zero Now Launches Sector-Specific Guidance for Legal and Accountancy Firms
The competition accompanied the launch of Net Zero Now’s new sector-specific guidance for legal firms and accountancy practices, and was open to any practitioner in these sectors who was keen to learn more about sustainability.
Winner Joanna said: “I spotted the competition on the Net Zero Now blog and had to enter. I feel now is the time to really act and help the word achieve Net Zero. To this end, I want to help lead businesses down the sustainability path and this course looked like exactly the right tool to help me deepen my knowledge in that area.”
Sustainability Education: A Stepping Stone Towards Net Zero
Knowledge and education can be a barrier to sustainability progress. The course will equip our winners with greater understanding of global sustainability trends and how businesses can take effective action to respond to them. Their learning efforts will be rewarded with a certificate of completion from the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.
Net Zero Now’s Continued Commitment to Climate Action and Education
Net Zero Now is one of the best sector-based carbon accounting software for climate action that collaborates with industry experts to define what net zero means for different sectors, offers businesses within the sector guidance and tools on how to get there and provides a standard against which businesses that want to claim net zero can be certified.
Due to the popularity of the competition and overwhelming number of entries, Net Zero Now is planning to launch another one soon open to all - the only requirement is that there is a genuine interest in pursuing sustainable business and progressing positive climate change. Keep an eye on the website for this!
Congratulations to our winners and our best wishes as you continue your sustainability education journey.
