n0de

n0de Pty Ltd is a Melbourne-based climate action partner for businesses, focusing on making the transition to Net Zero emissions achievable and financially beneficial. The company was co-founded by Rob Brimblecombe and Scott Ferraro, who previously led Monash University's renowned Net Zero Initiative, which earned a UN Momentum for Change Award in 2018. Their experience in developing and delivering this large-scale project, including securing over $200m in climate financing, now forms the foundation of n0de's approach.

The firm primarily serves business owners who may lack the time, expertise, or resources to develop a credible climate action strategy. Operating on a monthly subscription model, n0de provides a combination of software and expert consultation to guide clients. The process begins by establishing a baseline for a company's emissions, using as little as a conversation and an electricity bill to start. From there, n0de develops a tailored action plan, identifying the most impactful and cost-effective measures first. This includes services like evaluating shifts to renewable energy, specifying solar panel requirements, and identifying credible carbon offsets.

n0de's service is structured around three core pillars: Envision, Engage, and Enable. 'Envision' involves strategic planning, crunching numbers to create a baseline, and visualizing a Net Zero future for the client. 'Engage' focuses on communications, providing templates and expert guidance to help businesses share their sustainability story credibly. Finally, 'Enable' is the implementation phase, where n0de's experts project manage the delivery of the Net Zero plan, allowing the business to focus on its core operations. The company has received backing from LaunchVic's CivVic Labs program and a grant from the Victorian Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) to advance its use of energy data.
