Zero Carbon World is Leading the Charge for Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure to Combat Carbon Emissions
LONDON, Oct. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SuiteConnect
-- Zero Carbon World, a UK charity dedicated to
decarbonising the UK through advocating the adoption of electric
vehicles, is using Oracle NetSuite to support its vision of
creating a sustainable and equitable decarbonised society. NetSuite
has helped enable Zero Carbon World expand its national open source
charging network for electric vehicles – removing a key barrier to
electric vehicle adoption – in the UK.
Founded in 2011, by electrical engineer Kevin Sharpe, Zero Carbon World set out to help
the UK reduce carbon emissions by providing the charging
infrastructure to support the adoption of electric vehicles.
Through ZeroNet, a national network of nearly 700 charging stations
for electric vehicles, Zero Carbon World donates unrestricted, open
source charging points to hotels, restaurants and popular tourist
attractions to give electric vehicle drivers a charge while they
rest, work or play. To support its growth as it introduces more
charging stations across the country, Zero Carbon World needed an
integrated platform to streamline donor management, increase
visibility of charging station supplies and support its expanding
workforce of installation experts. To support these goals and help
ensure it could keep its time and resources focused on achieving
its vision, Zero Carbon World selected NetSuite.
"The UK's Road to Zero strategy aims to ensure all new vehicles
are zero emission by 2040, but in order for that strategy to be
successful, the right infrastructure needs to be put in place so
drivers are comfortable switching to electric vehicles," said
Cara Naden, Project Manager, Zero
Carbon World. "At Zero Carbon World, we believe that the UK's
dependence on an unsustainable carbon-based economy limits the
potential for innovation and wellbeing to sustain society in the
face of climate breakdown and we want to start changing that today.
By streamlining so much of what we do, NetSuite allows us to stay
focused on our vision and the important work our team is doing
every day to help support a decarbonised future."
With NetSuite, Zero Carbon World has been able to take advantage
of a single platform to automate and help streamline key business
functions, including supply chain, customer relationship management
and inventory management, and integrate applications and enquiries
for new charging stations. The powerful business management
capabilities within NetSuite have helped enable Zero Carbon World
to increase engagement with its network of supporters, accurately
track donations, and streamline the management of third-party
installation experts. As a result, Zero Carbon World is on course
to donate 1,000 charging stations in support of decarbonising
transport on UK roads.
"Transport emissions make up 34 percent of the UK's greenhouse
gases and Zero Carbon World has developed a proactive, innovative
model to help combat this issue," said Nicky Tozer, VP, EMEA, Oracle NetSuite. "By
enabling the Zero Carbon World team to streamline the way it
operates, we are privileged to help grow ZeroNet and allow the team
to invest more time and resources towards the important work it
does."
NetSuite supports more than 1,500 nonprofits and social
enterprises globally. Zero Carbon World most recently benefitted
from Suite Pro Bono as part of the NetSuite Social Impact program,
which provides nonprofit and social enterprises with coaching and
support from NetSuite employees. The organisation also benefits
from Suite Donation, which helps nonprofits benefit from the power
of technology by providing discounted licensing.
Zero Carbon World's mission will be showcased at SuiteConnect
London. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about
sustainable solutions in carbon reduction and emission-free
transportation, and go head-to-head in the pedal-powered Zero
Carbon World Grand Prix.
