We’re proud to announce our recent Climate Active certification for our business operations here at Assemble.
Climate Active is a partnership between the Australian Government and Australian businesses to drive voluntary climate action and is the most rigorous and credible carbon neutral certification available.
Through data collection and carbon assessments, the development and implementation of emissions minimisation strategies and investing in an accredited carbon offset project, Assemble’s business operations are now certified carbon neutral.
We are proud to have achieved this important first step in our journey towards reducing our operational and embodied carbon emissions.
Maggie McKeand, Head of Impact and Engagement
From the energy we use to power our office to the professional services we choose to engage; we have made choices and changes to the way we do business to ensure our carbon emissions are equal to zero.
For the past year, Assemble’s Net Zero Working Group have been working closely with sustainability consultants Rewild to undertake a company-wide carbon audit, to inform and help develop our FY22/23 Net Zero Action Plan and to collate and submit our Climate Active application.
“It’s fantastic to see a company like Assemble so committed to understanding the complexity behind carbon accounting and the intricacies of achieving carbon neutrality – including what it takes to implement a meaningful emissions reduction strategy before supporting high-integrity offset projects that align with wider social and governance objectives. From working with Assemble through the process of achieving Climate Active certification, it’s clear the company see this as a short-term milestone on what is a long-term journey toward net zero emission”
