3 key reasons for local government to act on energy and carbon

1. Show sustainability leadership in your area. Measure your carbon emissions. Set targets for reducing your carbon footprint. Show support for strategic green initiatives in your community.
2. Undertake an energy efficiency audit. Reduce costs and access federal government funding.
3. Manage your risks. Find out what Australia’s Carbon Pricing Mechanism means to your council, now in effect. Do you know what you can pass on to ratepayers?

• Staff engagement
  This is a comprehensive online survey. It includes a detailed report on your staff’s travel to and from work, along with attitudes towards climate change. It will help you determine viable, lasting sustainability across your organisation.
• Carbon price modelling
  Our Carbon Strategy and Risk Report measures the impact of Australia’s Carbon Pricing Mechanism on your organisation.

  The assessment takes into account your expenditure on goods and services over the course of a financial year. It then applies the impact of the carbon price for the 3 fixed price years.

  We interpolate potential costs through the most carbon intensive areas of your supply chain, based on financial accounts and invoicing data.
