As the government declares a climate emergency and the Prime Minister promises to follow it up with action, Philippa talks to two companies that aren't waiting around. The Toitū carbon assess platform helps SMEs to calculate their emissions by tracking the money spent on electricity, fuel, flights and waste. Another tool, Cogo app, is aimed at individual consumers and uses their banking data to track their footprint in real time and deliver "ethical nudges" about how to lower it. Philippa is joined by Steve Dixon, Toitū Envirocare's general manager of strategy and partnerships and Ben Gleisner, founder and CEO of Cogo.
