Why should you care about collaboration?
There have been a couple of big sustainability collaboration announcements in the last couple of weeks. While these are top-level and only the start, they are big steps in the right direction.
Whether it is top level standards, GHG Protocol and the IFRS foundation, or the sector-specific collaboration between Agrecalc, the Farm Carbon Cutting Toolkit and Cool Farm Alliance, these announcements are great news.
These collaborations will allow better understanding between standards and methodologies, reducing inconsistencies and inefficiencies in reporting.
On a more elemental note, collaboration is key for the transition to a sustainable future.
- Both of these announcements role model collaboration while ensuring individual organisations stay independent.
- Both announcements will support future collaboration both for the organisations themselves, and those who use their processes.

Agrecalc: 'Three major farm carbon calculators outline a roadmap to harmonisation.'
📖 Full press release: https://lnkd.in/dGzcTHtq
🗣️ Michael Jones, one of 5D Net Zero's resident sustainability experts, has this to say:
"It was great to see collaboration in the Agriculture sustainability sector last week. Three leading UK farm carbon calculators announced a ‘Memorandum of Understanding to harmonise their greenhouse gas (GHG) emission methodologies.’
Agrecalc, Farm Carbon Cutting Toolkit and Cool Farm Alliance’s announcement, guided by the Defra Report “Harmonisation of Carbon Accounting Tools for Agriculture – SCF0129", is a win for farms looking to accurately and reliably report their emissions.
The standardisation methodology will support a better understanding of farms across the three calculators. While the organisations will remain independent, their alignment of methodology will support the agriculture sector in understanding and communicating in a single ‘language’. This supports cross sector action, and collaboration, which can only be a good thing."
