CO2 Australia is proud to continue to be certified as a carbon neutral organisation under the government-backed Climate Active program. Climate Active is available for organisations, products, services, events, buildings and precincts, with some of Australia’s best-known brands participating and over 350 certifications achieved since 2010. Certification under Climate Active means that all our emissions are reduced where possible first and what’s remaining after that is offset, and therefore the activities associated with running our business have no net negative impact on the climate. This is a way for CO2 Australia to let our clients, stakeholders and other businesses know that we are serious about sustainability and are leaders in positive climate action.
Since joining the program in 2018, we have reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with our operations (e.g. transportation via company vehicles and to and from site locations, energy consumption in the office and waste management across all aspects of the business) by over 50% and offset the rest with Australian Carbon Credit Units generated by our independent carbon projects. In 2021, CO2 Australia was proudly recognised as a certified supporter of Australian projects through use of 100% Australian offsets. Carbon credits purchased for offsetting our emissions contribute towards the Carbon Estate: Creating a Better Climate (Stage 2) project in New South Wales. This project establishes permanent plantings of Blue Mallee (Eucalyptus polybractea) trees on land that was previously used for agricultural purposes.
Being ‘Climate Active’ isn’t just for businesses; individuals can support a carbon neutral economy through the use of products and services from the certified brands listed here.
