Carbon Neutral Warehouse How we can help you achieve the National Carbon Offset Standard.
What is carbon neutral certification? A carbon neutral building reduces emissions where possible and compensates for the remainder by investing in carbon offset projects to achieve zero carbon. Carbon neutral certification considers your sites’ electricity, water, waste, gas, refrigerant, diesel and transport. Achieving carbon neutral certification provides a meaningful, affordable and tangible way to meet your greenhouse gas emissions goals, and provide your customers with greener products.

How does it work?
Benefits.
National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS) certification is administered by the Australian Government Department of Environment and Energy. The Carbon Neutral Certification Trade Mark provides a legitimate and visual stamp of achievement, and gives your customers confidence that your carbon neutral claim has met all the requirements of a robust Government Standard.
Becoming carbon neutral has many benefits for businesses taking the lead in moving towards a low carbon economy: • M arketing opportunities and increased customer recognition. • S howing leadership and gaining a competitive edge using a robust trade mark. • Environmental and social outcomes. • I nternal carbon management expertise which can lead to energy and cost savings. • Alignment with the Government’s commitments. • E stablishment of an internal price on carbon to prepare for any future carbon pricing mechanisms.
