Australia

Measuring and managing carbon emissions is no longer optional. With Australia’s new sustainability reporting framework and growing stakeholder expectations, organisations need robust, transparent and credible approaches to carbon accounting.

We help organisations quantify, understand and report their carbon footprint, from mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) disclosures to voluntary sustainability initiatives.

Why carbon accounting matters

Carbon accounting is crucial for organisations as it ensures compliance with regulations such as mandatory reporting under AASB S2, which calls for transparent and credible disclosure of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. It also meets the growing expectations of investors and customers, who increasingly demand trustworthy information about carbon footprints and climate strategies.

By providing valuable carbon data, organisations can pinpoint inefficiencies and identify cost-saving opportunities within their operations and supply chains. Robust carbon accounting forms the foundation for effective net zero strategies, supports access to green financing and strengthens competitive positioning in the market.

Our Carbon Accounting Services

We provide end-to-end support across all aspects of carbon measurement and reporting:

  • GHG inventory development
    Establishing comprehensive Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions inventories in line with the GHG Protocol and recognised international standards.
  • Data collection and system design
    Building processes, controls and systems to capture high-quality emissions data across operations and supply chains.
  • Carbon reporting and disclosures
    Preparing emissions disclosures for sustainability reports, ASRS climate reporting and voluntary frameworks.
  • Audit readiness and assurance preparation
    Ensuring emissions data and methodologies stand up to independent assurance under Australian Standards on Sustainability Assurance (ASSA).

Whether you’re preparing for mandatory reporting or advancing your net zero ambitions, we provide tailored support to ensure your emissions reporting is accurate, credible and decision useful.
