Carbon Neutral
| Net Zero

To meet the 1.5°C global warming target outlined in the Paris Agreement, ambitious efforts need to be made to reduce global carbon emissions to net zero before 2050. Organisations both large and small play a critical role in this transition to a decarbonised future. The transition to carbon neutrality or a further commitment to net zero, demonstrates tangible action to decarbonise and displays leadership in the shift to a low carbon economy.

We are one of the leading carbon neutral consultancies in supporting business and governments in responding to climate change. We assist organisations wherever they are on their carbon neutral or net zero journey, from guidance on setting and measuring ambitious reduction targets, carbon neutral consulting to the Climate Active Certification standard to the more ambitious goals of setting Science-based Targets and net zero trajectory and modelling.

Carbon NeutralityClimate Active
Certification

More and more organisations are choosing to go carbon neutral. Going carbon neutral in accordance with a carbon neutral certification such as Climate Active, means a business can credibly claim carbon neutrality and be a carbon neutral business.

Climate Active is the leading carbon neutral certification program in Australia. It consists of a suite of standards and a certification framework for business, products and/or activities. Climate Active is administered by Australia’s Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources and underpinned by a rigorous and transparent protocol.

    Carbon Offsets

    Carbon offsetting is a way to reduce or offset business emissions that cannot be avoided through other emissions reduction means. We support our clients to achieve carbon neutrality through the procurement of certified national and international carbon offsets. Our team guides clients to align their offset strategy with their corporate sustainability objectives and priorities, to achieve both environmental and social outcomes. We work with Australia’s leading carbon offset provider, Tasman Environmental Markets, which has the required licences, track record and due diligence processes to operate effectively in this space.

    We also assist clients to build a carbon offset strategy for self-generating offset projects. For businesses with the opportunity, a carbon offset strategy with self-generating carbon offsets can be an excellent way to mitigate the risks from the future price of carbon. It can also become a rewarding, cornerstone piece of any organisation’s carbon neutral (or net zero) strategy as well as broader sustainability goals.    Learn more

    Science-Based Targets - Net Zero Pathways

    A commitment to carbon neutrality or net zero emissions demonstrates tangible action to reduce emissions and leadership in the shift to a low carbon economy. We are one of the leading consultancies in supporting organisations and government entities in responding to climate change. We assist organisations in all stages of their carbon neutral or net zero journey, from guidance on setting and measuring ambitious reduction targets, or setting and certifying Science-based targets (SBTs), to net zero trajectory and modelling, and Climate Active certification. View more information on science-based targets and our services here.

    Net Zero Trajectory and Modelling

    Modelling emissions trajectories to meet net zero targets enables businesses to implement the appropriate strategy and initiatives to reach these targets. We support clients in modelling their emissions under a business-as-usual scenario, compared to various policy scenarios. We can benchmark this data against peers and State and Federal targets, to provide a comprehensive understanding of their ambitions and current initiatives. We supplement this with modelling of carbon offsets that may be necessary to supplement planned emissions reduction initiatives; and provide recommendations on meeting targets.

    Carbon Accounting

    Calculating and reporting on their carbon footprint underpins all climate action and allows organisations to understand, manage and reduce their impact. Our team is collectively one of the most experienced in the market, providing fit-for-purpose carbon accounting services for medium to large businesses. We love the phrase, ‘You can’t manage what you don’t measure’, and our specialists are adept at calculating carbon footprints and emissions from the most complex to the most straightforward sources, across all sectors and under key frameworks, including the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting scheme (NGERs), Climate Active and the international Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
