Values

Cleaner Climate is committed to achieving our goals through a simple 4 step process.

Step 1 – Assess

Each engagement commences with a measurement phase where we also discuss the issues driving an organisation or individual towards becoming part of the low carbon economy.  

Once engaged Cleaner Climate completes an emissions assessment consistent with best practice methodology

Step 2 – Reduce

Once the assessment is complete we provide a variety of energy and water efficiency recommendations. These recommendations usually provide rapid returns and also help further reduce emissions. 

Step 3 – Accreditation

Once a plan is in place for emission reductions, organisations are empowered to offset their remaining emissions and become an accredited partner. At this stage our true job is just beginning.
 
We work closely with partners to help them inspire employees, customers, friends and other stakeholders to change behaviours, support better practices and then share again.

Step 4 – Develop

Funds generated by the sale of our offsets are used to purchase and retire credits from our portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects which reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
