Why We Exist

Climate change is the defining challenge of our time — and one of the biggest opportunities for businesses to innovate, reduce costs, and gain competitive advantage. 

 

Yet many organisations struggle to act. Sustainability is often seen as complex, costly, or something to be deferred, leaving businesses unsure where to start or how to measure impact. 

 

At Switch2Zero, we take a different approach. Our simple, pragmatic solutions help businesses measure their footprint, identify quick wins, reduce emissions, and improve operations — turning sustainability into tangible business value while creating positive environmental impact.

Our Story

In 2021, Ian Ormerod founded Switch2Zero to help businesses turn sustainability ambition into action. He recognised that businesses of all sizes could create meaningful climate impact, drive efficiency, and strengthen reputation – if they had the right tools, insight, and guidance.  

 

“Climate action can be practical, profitable, and meaningful all at once.”
– Ian Ormerod, Founder, Switch2Zero 

 

Switch2Zero exists to turn intention into action. Our platform and consultancy help organisations measure their footprint, implement targeted reduction strategies, and track progress with confidence, all while generating tangible business value. 

 

From first steps to full-scale strategies, we make sustainability practical and measurable. Our philosophy of progress over perfection ensures that every action counts – no matter the size of the organisation or where it begins.

Our Own Journey

At Switch2Zero, sustainability isn’t just what we do – it’s who we are. We lead by example: from day one, every member of our team has been carbon offset, both at work and at home.    

 

While we are preparing to publish our full Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data, you can already explore our public ledger to see the certificates and projects we have invested in – for ourselves and for our members. This transparency is at the heart of how we operate, demonstrating accountability, building trust, and showing that real impact starts with action.
