Become carbon neutral
To be carbon neutral you must measure and offset your carbon emissions. You can attain recognition for doing so by achieving certification through the Australian Government’s Climate Active Network. It’s the best way to demonstrate the credibility of your carbon neutral claim. Join a growing network, working with others to act on climate change.
‘Net zero’ is technically the same however there is an expectation that your emissions will be reduced as far as possible, prior to offsetting via the permanent removal of carbon from the atmosphere. Either way, we can help you decide on and achieve your goals.
SBC has Climate Active Registered Consultants for Organisations, Events, Products, Services and Precincts certification. We also have experience with carbon neutral building certification via the Green Building Council of Australia.
Our Registered Consultants are Suzanne Ridding, Dr Matthias Salomon and Stephanie Bolt.
Why choose SBC to help you become certified carbon neutral?
We have many years of experience in the process of achieving carbon neutrality through Climate Active. We are also a carbon neutral organisation ourselves. We can help set your boundary and scope, create your carbon inventory, help develop your emissions reduction strategy, assist in sourcing carbon offsets and undertake technical assessments.
Measure, reduce, verify data, offset, submit. Sounds easy but if you’d like help contact us.
