What if the key to cutting your carbon footprint is hidden in your bookkeeping… and your accountant is the one holding it?
On Earth Your While, Jack and Ellie talk to Kathryn Frimond, bookkeeper, carbon literacy trainer and founder of The Sustainable Bookkeeper. Kathryn shares how she moved from saying yes to any client to working mainly with purpose‑led businesses, and why that values‑driven niche actually made it easier to grow.
She reveals how day‑to‑day accounting data can be turned into a credible carbon footprint in minutes, why SMEs are quietly responsible for up to half of UK business emissions, and how upcoming reporting standards could see unprepared small suppliers losing contracts.
**Topics covered include:**
- The true impact of SMEs on UK emissions
- What UK Sustainability Reporting Standards and scope 3 mean for small suppliers
- Simple, often free sustainability wins such as energy tariffs, pensions and banking
- What carbon literacy training is and how it changes behaviour inside businesses
- The quiet power accountants and bookkeepers have to shift client decisions
- Drawing ethical lines on who you work with and why that can accelerate growth
