Axiom Sustainability Software is delighted to announce it is renewing its partnership with Family Business United (FBU), strengthening a long-standing collaboration dedicated to helping family-owned businesses embrace sustainability.
Sustainability has become a defining challenge and opportunity of our time, requiring a balance between environmental protection, social advancement and economic prosperity. For family businesses, sustainability is about safeguarding the planet and securing long-term growth, strengthening stakeholder trust, and building a positive legacy.
Through this partnership, Axiom and FBU are committed to:
● Providing practical tools such as the free carbon emissions calculator.
● Offering expert guidance to help family firms navigate complex regulatory requirements.
● Promoting best practice across social value, sustainable procurement, resource efficiency, and carbon reduction.
The renewed partnership builds on the successful launch of Axiom’s free carbon emissions calculator for FBU members, a practical tool designed to help businesses measure their carbon footprint and take the first steps on their sustainability journey. By providing accessible and reliable insights, the tool helps companies identify opportunities to reduce emissions, comply with reporting requirements and align with growing expectations from customers, investors and regulators.
“We’re proud to continue our partnership with Family Business United,” said Joe Oughtred, Co-Founder of Axiom Sustainability Software.
“Family businesses form the backbone of the UK economy, and this collaboration ensures they have the tools and support needed to embrace sustainability, reduce emissions, and create long-term value for future generations.”
Paul Andrews, Founder and CEO of Family Business United, added: “Family firms are committed to building legacies that last, and sustainability is a huge part of that journey."
"Our renewed partnership with Axiom ensures our members continue to benefit from expert guidance and practical tools to take meaningful action on sustainability.”
