The partnership – likely the first of its kind in Australia – means businesses using Climate Zero’s carbon accounting software to measure, reduce and report on emissions can now also offset from the platform, making it easier for businesses of all sizes to progress sustainability goals with confidence.

Climate Zero Managing Director, Tai Lennon, said the partnership reflected her company’s mission to remove barriers between businesses and net zero.

“Like anything, corporate sustainability is easier with the right tools and support. We’ve been helping businesses measure and reduce emissions for more than 15 years and now, with Carbon Neutral’s partnership, they can easily compare, choose and purchase high-integrity carbon credits and track their impact – all within our platform,” Tai said.

Carbon Neutral CEO Phil Ireland agreed and said the partnership was a natural collaboration that made it easier for businesses to have a positive impact.

“With the ability to measure, offset, and report on emissions all in one place, we’re not only removing administrative barriers but also making it easier for businesses of all sizes to take credible climate action,” Phil said.

The partnership reflects the need for a multi-faceted approach to corporate sustainability because of greenhouse gas emissions already locked into the atmosphere, requiring sequestering and nature-based regeneration.

“While reducing emissions remains the top priority to help our economy shift from depletion to regeneration, there will always be residual emissions that an organisation simply cannot reduce,” Tai said.

However, carbon markets could be complex, including carbon offset reselling and lack of transparency.

“We’ve done our research and partnered with Carbon Neutral because we have seen first-hand the impact their projects are having not just to generate carbon credits but also to restore native landscapes, preserve biodiversity, return land to Traditional Owners and permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere,” Tai said.

“Our partnership is based on trust and integrity, because if you’re serious about reducing emissions, your offsets should be as real as your commitments.”

Climate Zero has been helping businesses measure and reduce emissions for 15+ years. Previously known as Impact Sustainability, it helps businesses achieve sustainability goals with carbon accounting software that’s accurate, easy to use and supported by a local team.

Carbon Neutral is a leading project developer and offset provider, driving impactful action against climate change and biodiversity loss through high-integrity, nature-based and socially beneficial solutions.
