Applied Environment & Safety’s carbon neutral certification with Climate Active continues
Applied Environment & Safety has maintained certification as a certified carbon neutral company through Climate Active. While we are a small business with relatively low carbon emissions, we believe in playing our part in protecting the climate and implementing sustainable business practices. By achieving Climate Active certification, we join a collective group of companies committed to environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions and climate change impacts.
What is Climate Active?
Climate Active is an Australian Government initiative and organisation that certifies businesses, products, services and events as carbon neutral. Climate Active certification is awarded to Australian businesses that have met rigorous requirements to achieve net zero carbon emissions. This requires a business to credibly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and then offset any remaining emissions through the purchase of carbon offsets.
We believe in leading by example and promoting environmental sustainability and we have been certified as a carbon neutral organisation since 2021.
This certification demonstrates our committment to sustainable business practices. Our Climate Active certification ensures we are accountable for our carbon footprint and this is one aspect of our formalised sustainability goals.
How does Applied Environment & Safety maintain carbon neutral certification?
Each year to maintain carbon neutral certification, we are required to complete Step 2 to 6 of the Climate Active certification process pictured below:
- Step 2 – calculating our annual emissions from business operations
- Step 3 – reviewing progress against our Emissions Reduction Strategy
- Step 4 – purchase offsets equivalent to our annual net emissions
- Step 5 – engaging an independent registered consultant who is certified under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard
- Step 6 – publicly disclosing our carbon neutral claim
By following this process, our clients can have confidence that by working with us, they are supporting our carbon neutral operations; having a net zero impact on climate change while engaging our services; and working with an organisation dedicated to sustainability and continuous improvement.
