The United Nations describes climate change as the defining issue of our time. In our sustainability policy, we step through the ways we incorporate sustainability into our plans, processes and operations. Working to support Australia's net zero ambitions and the transition to clean energy, we believe in practicing what we preach.
Proudly carbon neutral since 2008
We are proud of our history. In June 2008, Energetics became one of Australia’s first consulting firms to achieve carbon neutrality through the Australian Government’s Greenhouse Friendly Program. Since the 2019 reporting year, our carbon neutrality has been certified under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard for ‘Organisations’ and ‘Services and Products’. We use offsets which are rigorous and defendable, of adequate vintage, preferably less than 24 months old, and which are raised from a robust and transparent framework.
In 2021, our science-based target was verified by the global Science Based Targets initiative. We committed to reducing absolute scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% before the year 2030 (from a 2018 base year), and to measure and reduce our scope 3 emissions. Our target is in line with the global goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C.
