What is Carbon Accounting?

Carbon Accounting is a technique used to calculate CO2 emissions emitted directly and indirectly by a business or an individual.

Why should you calculate your emissions?

Carbon emissions are intangible and by utilising accounting principles we can measure carbon emissions, Once your carbon footprint has been measured it then allows informed decision making and the ability to track the ongoing impact of these decisions.

In addition, it is anticipated that the Australian Government will soon make it mandatory for large corporations to report their CO2 emissions. This will over time have an impact on small and medium businesses who will potentially have to supply carbon emission figures for the services they are providing. This could lead to large corporations only dealing with suppliers who are able to provide details of their carbon emissions.

How can it benefit you?

Reporting your emissions can have multiple benefits to you and your business.

• allow you to make informed decisions on how to reduce your carbon footprint.
• potential higher chance of keeping existing large clients who may be required to report carbon emissions from their supply chain under the incoming legislation.
• opportunities for financial benefits such as grants, efficient equipment and potentially accessing reduced interest loans with banks.
• potential client base and customer growth
