Step 1
Give us a few details to help us work out your estimated carbon footprint.
Reducing emissions for your business is challenging. With limited resources and multiple priorities, it can be hard to decide where to focus your efforts.
Carbon Planner is free and could support you to become a more sustainable and climate conscious organisation, and help you to identify potential cost and carbon savings too. Use it to measure your carbon footprint by answering a few questions, get tailored actions and start building a plan to reduce your emissions.
Give us a few details to help us work out your estimated carbon footprint.
Set targets to build an action plan to reduce your emissions. We’ll suggest where to focus your efforts for the biggest impact.
Explore products and resources that could support you with actions which could reduce your carbon emissions, cut costs and help you to achieve your targets.
Use the insight gained from the tool to share your climate journey within your organisation.
While any UK business could use the tool, you’ll get the most from it if:
You’ll be using the first version of the tool, which we’re improving and developing based on feedback. So you could help shape the future of the tool as you use it.
Over the last year we’ve talked to over 1000 organisations to help shape the direction of the service. Here’s some general themes that came out of these discussions…
Tackling climate change and helping people, families and businesses with the transition to a low-carbon economy is a key part of our purpose-led approach to banking. We’re setting ambitious targets, doing all we can to reduce our own carbon footprint. We’ve committed to having net zero emissions by 2050 and in 2021 we reduced our direct emissions by 46%.
More than half of the UK’s carbon reduction ambition could be delivered by UK businesses and we want to support other organisations in their climate journeys.

We’ve worked with Green Element, an environmental management consultancy with over 20 years of experience, to ensure we are aligning with sustainable best practice. We have also worked with other third parties to develop the tool, including consultancies and academic experts. We’ve tapped into their knowledge to calculate an estimate of your organisation's carbon footprint and suggest tailored actions to reduce your emissions. In addition, our in-house team of climate experts and data scientists are working hard to continue to develop and improve the tool, making sure the insights generated stay relevant.
NatWest Group does not receive any fees from Green Element for organisations that subsequently purchase products or services from Green Element.
