Zeroing In On Impact: Climate Zero

About
Climate Zero is an Australian carbon accounting company, with more than 15 years’ experience helping businesses measure and reduce emissions. Previously known as Impact Sustainability, we’re focused on removing barriers to net zero with carbon accounting software that’s flexible and easy to use for businesses across industries from tourism to construction, facilities management and professional services.
Built on experience and supported by our local team, our software makes it easier for businesses to meet sustainability requirements and achieve their goals. - Founder, Hayley Morris.
Climate Zero team has a long history in sustainability, including developing one of Australia’s first emissions management platforms – Impact EMS – in 2010 via our previous company, Impact Sustainability.
Founder, Hayley Morris, is a leading Australian social and environmental entrepreneur, as well as a prominent impact investor and philanthropist. Her work focuses on helping our economy shift from depletion to regeneration, and encompasses founding, advocacy and Board roles in purpose-driven organisations.

Hayley’s vision is shared by the leadership team, including our Managing Director Tai Lennon and Chief Product Officer Jess Symes, who bring decades of experience in impact-led businesses, sustainability and product development. Together with our wider team, we’re focused on removing barriers between businesses and net zero with robust technology that brings confidence and ease to sustainability.
Why Melbourne
Climate Zero has been based in Melbourne since the original company, Impact Sustainability, was founded more than 15 years ago. Their founder, Hayley Morris, is based here and has worked in sustainability since 2007. Our leadership team is also based in Melbourne, while the broader team lives here and throughout Australia.
At Climate Zero, we’re focused on helping Australian businesses measure and reduce emissions in their operations here and internationally.
Challenge
Climate Zero aims to remove the main barrier between businesses and net zero – the ability to measure emissions easily and accurately. Once businesses can do this, the next natural step is to reduce emissions.
In our experience, businesses are often surprised by how straightforward this process can be, with the right support. Once they’re accurately tracking emissions, it’s clear to see where and how they can make a difference. - Hayley Morris

Solution
Climate Zero's carbon accounting software brings businesses the confidence needed to measure and reduce emissions.
Climate Zero is unparalleled in ease of use, allowing experts and non-experts alike to benefit from our years of experience with robust software to accurately measure emissions, supported by our local team and online climate literacy training.
Over the years, the team has listened to what works (and what doesn’t) for busy teams when it comes to carbon accounting software. Many businesses don’t understand the complexity and language of sustainability, let alone where to start or how to involve their teams.
Climate Zero solves these problems with software that is:
- Robust – built to global standards for accuracy and confidence
- Complete – full coverage of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions based on internationally recognised emission sources
- Intuitive – simple design that’s easy for anyone to use, including clear data and dashboard
- Helpful – Tools to help you set targets (aligned to the latest science), and easy to access data for industry certifications
- Configurable – highly configurable for businesses with more complex emissions profiles
We also provide quality online climate literacy training to help businesses bring their teams and suppliers on the sustainability journey. This is available to users to work through at their own pace and is full of knowledge, expertly shared.
Looking Ahead
From launching one of Australia’s first emissions management platforms back in 2010 to releasing our evolved carbon accounting software – Climate Zero – in 2023, we have helped many businesses achieve their sustainability goals.
With our broader goal of helping the economy shift from depletion to regeneration, we have clear growth plans so that we can help more businesses measure and reduce emissions. In 2025, we’re expanding our team and working on some exciting partnerships with other purpose-led brands such as carbon credit project developer, Carbon Neutral to help us support more businesses. - Hayley Morris.
