“Ndevr Environmental provided fantastic support to the business during our journey to become certified carbon neutral under the Australian Government’s Climate Active program. The industry first certification is for the base building operations on all ISPT owned and operated properties, as well as our corporate offices and covers around 80,000 tonnes of CO2-e. Ndevr Environmental were integral in all aspects of carbon neutrality including; expert carbon accounting of scope 1, 2 and particularly scope 3 emissions, supporting offset procurement, emissions reductions and communicating our commitment to internal and external stakeholders. We have since engaged Ndevr Environmental for our ‘true-up’ accounts and continue to work with their climate change experts on a number of projects.”
