Measure, report and cut your carbon emissions
AEMT has partnered with Climate Action for Associations (CAFA) to give members a free carbon dashboard built for the electrical and mechanical trades. Enter your figures and you get an instant view of your organisation's carbon footprint.
Your data also helps us build a picture of the sector as a whole, so we can represent your interests with government and key stakeholders.

Why act now?
Clients, customers and suppliers increasingly want evidence of environmental action, and new regulation is pushing the same way. Businesses that can't show their figures risk losing work. Knowing your emissions helps you:
Win work
Answer the sustainability questions now appearing in tenders, contracts and supplier assessments.
Cut costs
Find waste in energy use, transport and your supply chain that is costing you money.
Stay compliant
Keep ahead of legislation, including Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) for larger companies.
Build your reputation
Show clients, staff and stakeholders that you take your impact seriously.
Track progress
Set targets and benchmark your improvement year on year.
Play your part
Climate change affects every sector, and the electrical and mechanical trades have a role to play.

- Open the dashboard using the button below.
- Create a free account.

Your data stays confidential
AEMT and CAFA only use anonymised, aggregated data for industry benchmarking and representation. Individual company data is never shared.
We've done it ourselves
AEMT worked with CAFA to measure its own carbon footprint and produce an Emissions Report and Action Plan. We're asking members to take the same step we have.
