Measuring carbon emissions

We provide guides to help you understand and calculate your business’s baseline emissions.

We don’t provide a comprehensive carbon account. There are a range of tools that can help you with your carbon accounting. And you can also hire a carbon accountant to ensure you adhere to the GreenHouse Gas Protocols.

A National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) energy tenancy rating will help you benchmark your office scope 1 and 2 emissions. As a CitySwitch signatory, you’ll receive a lodgement fee discount.
