What solutions does the product offer for mitigating my business's carbon footprint?

Does NetNada provide any alternative solution to help reduce carbon emissions?

NetNada does offer a variety of alternative solutions, including reforestation, carpooling, and carbon offsetting. We recognise that there may be instances where businesses are unable to alter their operational structure in order to achieve carbon-neutral. As a result, we assist our clients in reducing their carbon footprints through environmental projects and non-profit organisations that we have evaluated.

The product enables your business to gain a better understanding of its consumption and usage across its supply chain. We then recommend tailored solutions that assist in reducing inefficiencies and increasing bottom-line savings.

Which standards does NetNada follow?

NetNada accredits businesses in accordance with the Climate Active and NABERs rating systems. These are internationally recognised for their environmental and sustainability performance by the Australian government and other governments.

Is there a standard-compliance mark on the certificate for my business?

Not immediately, but the good news is that you will have all of the data ready to submit!

Is it necessary to continue subscribing if we already have our baseline assessment

Once you have obtained your baseline assessment, it is critical to continue monitoring your business's emissions, as your business's emissions will change over time. If you seek carbon neutral certification you you must send a report periodically to maintain your certification, which NetNada makes simple for you. You may, of course, cancel your subscription at any time.

What certifications do we receive once our business's carbon footprint is neutralised?

Depending on the nature of your business and your rating objectives, your business may be certified to Climate Active Carbon Neutral standards or assigned a NABERs rating.

What is a carbon emission?

A carbon emission is the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Usually measured in carbon equivalent units, it's regarded as an agregate of several greenhouse gases.

What is a carbon credit?

A carbon credit is a marketable permit or certificate that entitles the holder to emit one tonne of carbon dioxide or an equivalent glasshouse gas.

What is a carbon offset?

A carbon offset is created when an activity prevents, reduces, or eliminates GHG emissions from the atmosphere. Carbon offsets are generated by emission reduction projects worldwide through activities such as renewable energy, biogas, and reforestation.

What is a carbon footprint?

A carbon footprint is the quantity of carbon dioxide equivalent released into the atmosphere as a result of an individual's, business's, group's, organisation's, or community's activities.

How does the product measure carbon emissions?

The NetNada product calculates the carbon emissions associated with each dollar spent using data from our users' purchases, invoices and other accounting and consumption records. We can simplify this process for you by connecting to your accounting software or allowing you to upload invoices and CSV files to our platform. NetNada employs Input-Output Analysis (IOA) to determine your organisation's total emissions and their source. Following that, it will make recommendations based on your unique circumstances to assist you in reducing your carbon footprint and maintaining sustainable operations.

Does NetNada provide carbon offsets?

NetNada enables users to offset their emissions through environmental projects and non-profit organisations that we have assessed. However, we believe that it is more important to reduce your emissions than to offset them, and thus encourage our users to prioritise sustainable solutions.

How long will NetNada take to carbon neutralise my business?

Our baseline analysis can take as few as two minutes. The full analysis depends on a number of factors, including your business, the solutions available, and how quickly you wish to move!

Is it possible for our business to purchase carbon offset?

NetNada offers a variety of offsetting options including programs for reforestation, combating poverty, helping people gain human rights and empowering women. We recognise that there may be instances where businesses are unable to alter their operational structure in order to achieve carbon-neutral. As a result, we assist our clients in reducing their impacts through environmental projects and non-profit organisations that we have evaluated. These projects have a measurable impact on communities and environments for the greater good of carbon reduction.

What is Net-Zero?

The term "Net-Zero" refers to the balance between glasshouse gas emissions and removal from the atmosphere.

How does NetNada contribute to our business's goal of net-zero energy consumption?

We begin by assisting you in reducing your carbon emissions. We believe that the most beneficial solution for the environment and your business is to implement positive changes and increase efficiency. After that, we can offset the remainder of your carbon emissions.

What doesn't your integration do?

NetNada is a “read-only” integration. This means that your data inside Xero is not deleted, modified, or updated in any way by using our integration.

Using the Xero integration does not automatically make your business carbon neutral. While using our software and Xero integration can facilitate your path to carbon neutrality, NetNada helps understand your business emissions and reduce them before purchasing carbon offsets.

Why do you need Xero data for sustainability?

NetNada applies Xero integration to analyse accounting data and create a clear impression of your carbon footprint. Accessing data in this structured way enables NetNada to attribute carbon emission factors to transactions in your business and perform a complete business carbon accounting calculation. Moreover, a Xero integration allows a more frequent calculation of emissions (if requested) and ensures your business has a real-time analysis of your sustainability performance to deliver optimal efficiency.

What data do we sync from Xero?

NetNada is a 'read only' app, meaning that it will never update any information inside your business Xero account.
We sync only the customer’s organisation details, chart of accounts, and 12 months of accounting journals. Read more about accounting integration scopes here.

Where do we store the Xero data?

We store your data in a cloud-hosted database secured by Google security and Privacy Policies

What happens to my Xero data if I cancel my subscription with NetNada?

Your Xero integration will be revoked and you will not be able to reconnect or automatically extract data to NetNada. You can also request to have your existing data deleted. Read our Privacy Policy for more information.

How do I disconnect from Xero

You can disconnect from Xero at anytime by navigating to the overview page and click on the 'Disconnect from Xero' button.
