Axter's journey to carbon literacy

We’re proud to have supported Axter in their transition from a forward-thinking flat roof waterproofing business to a Silver-accredited Carbon Literate Organisation.

An incredible achievement kick started by rolling out our accredited Net Zero Masterclass to the entire team.

The challenge

As a natural next step in their quest to "improve the roofscape and transform the world above our heads”, Axter has taken the time to assess every part of their business activity, strategy and supply chain.

On a journey to become a certified B Corp and having completed an essential benchmark carbon assessment study, Axter recognised the importance of equipping its team members with the tools and knowledge necessary to make informed decisions that prioritise environmental well-being and combat climate change.

The solution

Towards the end of 2023, we worked closely with Axter to identify the specific needs and level of training required for their entire team before going on to craft a bespoke programme of action-oriented training.

We also identified the benefits in becoming an official Carbon Literate Organisation and went on to support them with their evidence and submission. Their steadfast dedication means they’re now certified by The Carbon Literacy project as a Silver level Carbon Literate Organisation.

The highlights

Axter’s incredible achievement has resulted in Carbon Literacy training becoming part of its standard onboarding process, ensuring that a climate-conscious mentality is on everyone’s radar, at every level.

Supporting newly certified staff is Axter's recently formed Environmental & Sustainability Committee, which is helping turn their individual and collective goals into action.

And, having recognised the importance of extending this training beyond its workforce, we are now also discussing how to build this out.
