    Net Zero

    An unprecedented number of businesses and local governments are taking leadership in tackling climate change by setting a net zero pathway for their organisation. Going net zero refers to achieving an overall balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced and emissions taken out of the atmosphere. We’re one of the leading consultancies supporting organisations and government entities in understanding their carbon footprint and developing mitigation strategies to achieve net zero. We do this in line with best practice against the requirements of the international Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. This includes building business commitment; measurement of carbon inventories; setting targets; developing a strategy and managing risk; taking action on emissions reductions and resource efficiency; and reporting.

    Science-Based Targets

    The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) offers one of the most credible, globally recognised approaches for setting emission reduction targets. Setting a science-based emissions reduction target (SBT) allows an organisation to understand their fair share of the carbon budget and ensures that emissions reductions are in step with science, future compliance obligations, and stakeholder expectations. Setting a science-based target also increases innovation opportunities, cost efficiencies and provides a competitive edge. We assist organisations on the journey in selecting the right science-based target approach depending on size and industry, understanding the main emissions drivers (Scope 1, 2 and 3) and where significant emissions reduction initiatives can be implemented to ultimately achieve the set SBT. View more information on science-based targets and our services here.

    Nature-Based Solutions

    Nature-based climate solutions are a vital contributor for the world to meet its Paris Agreement net zero targets. They are also critical in halting and reversing habitat and biodiversity losses. Ndevr Environmental’s Nature-based Solutions team assists clients and landholders to investigate opportunities for carbon projects to sequester carbon and improve land condition under both National and International carbon abatement and environmental standards.

    Our team are experts in identifying cost-effective and impactful nature-based solutions, that protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural capital and modified ecosystems. Learn more

    Climate Risk and TCFD

    The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) is a framework for businesses to ensure that the impacts of climate change become routinely considered in management decisions, and to improve and increase the reporting of climate-related financial risks and opportunities. It has fast become the leading international framework setting a new precedent for climate-related risk management and opportunity identification for large and listed companies as the world transitions to a clean energy future. We assist organisations to analyse their corporate governance in line with the TCFD recommendations; understand and analyse foreseeable climate risks and opportunities to the business; set metrics and targets; undertake scenario analysis and strategic reviews; and prepare company disclosures in line with the TCFD framework.

    Climate Change Strategy

    Organisations are under increasing pressure to manage the impacts of climate change-related risks to their business. For more than 10 years we have worked with some of Australia’s largest organisations to develop and implement their climate strategy to ensure they succeed in an increasingly carbon constrained future. Our guidance often focuses on change management and balancing structural decarbonisation with carbon offsets. This delivers a climate change strategy that turns climate opportunities into strategic business value. We utilise approaches including internal carbon pricing and Marginal Cost Abatement Curves, which are based on deep and current industry knowledge, to provide pragmatic and usable solutions.

    Offset Projects

    Carbon offset projects are used to reduce or offset business emissions that cannot be avoided through other means. We support business with the development, registration and ongoing management of carbon offset projects under the Federal Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund, enacted through the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011. Our experienced team provides support across both the industrial and land sectors, to support clients to earn Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) and reduce their climate impact. We have worked as both auditors and advisors on carbon offsetting projects which collectively have saved tens of millions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere.

    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

    Carbon Footprinting

    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 organisations both large and small. Our specialists are adept at calculating emissions from the most complex to the most straightforward sources, across all sectors and under key frameworks, including NGERs, Climate Active and the international Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

    Change Management

    Change Management is a fundamental yet continually overlooked aspect of organisational initiatives. The sustainable transition offers one of the most significant challenges because it is often not in line with the core business. ​By assessing an organisations readiness to change and then targeting key initiatives organisation transition can be much more efficient, smooth and successful.​

    We can support your team to do all of this through proven industry specialised tools and techniques. As we are subject matter experts and we are client facing through many industries we are perfectly placed to aid in designing sustainable focused change management programs and initiatives.​

We are experts in identifying feasible opportunities and quantifying abatement potential, implementation costs and benefits. We are market leaders in securing subsidies and capital grants to drive implementation. Our emissions reduction service streams include: feasibility assessment and implementation support, energy productivity, renewable energy solutions, energy procurement and carbon offsetting.

    NGERs | Safeguard Mechanism

    The Clean Energy Regulator’s National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme is Australia’s national framework for reporting and disseminating company information about greenhouse gas emissions, energy production and energy consumption. The Safeguard Mechanism is designed to limit emissions increases across the economy and can lead to significant financial cost if not managed correctly. Complying with NGERs and the Safeguard Mechanism can be a complex and resource intensive process, which is why many organisations choose to partner with us to oversee their reporting obligations. We have one of the most experienced teams of NGER experts in Australia, with diverse skill sets including engineers, economists, policy professionals and data analysts. Over the past decade, we have worked with many of Australia’s largest emitting companies, helping them comply with complex and ever-changing legislation and using this as a lever to identify carbon, energy and cost saving opportunities.

    More information on the Safeguard Mechanism and updates for 2022 – 2023 here.
