Envision Medical Imaging

In keeping with our commitment as members of a local community within a global society, our philosophy is “to first, do no harm”.

Medical imaging has a relatively large carbon footprint with all current forms of imaging, including ultrasound, MRI, X-ray, CT, or nuclear, requiring energy to produce the machines and then to create the medical images required to make a diagnosis.

We believe it is our responsibility to cancel any negative environmental impact involved in the production of our work.

ENVISION minimizes carbon emissions using 100% Greenpower, on a background of energy saving lighting, energy conservative fitout materials and by choosing low or no carbon businesses as our preferred suppliers.

We are proud to be fully accredited as a “no carbon” producing company – as far as we know, the first medical imaging company in Australia to have this distinction.

Expos2 Australia

At Expos2 we have engineered a Virtual Solution that will revolutionize the way Exhibitions and Events are held around the world and in doing so, dramatically reduce the environmental costs caused by carbon emissions arising from traditional physical events.

It is something we are proud of and it was only natural that we would seek to ensure that our own company was taking appropriate action against climate change, to ensure that Expos2 itself and our products and services were certified as being carbon neutral.

To this end we obtained an expedited certification from the Carbon Reduction Institute as a NoCO2 accredited business. Achieving NoCO2 certification means that our organization is carbon neutral.

Under our agreement, the Carbon Reduction Institute have estimated the footprint that Expos2 Australia will incur from items such as purchase of assets, staff ground travel and the use of third party services. The emissions are estimated by applying benchmarks calculated from the results of audits completed for similar sized clients.

In purchasing any product from Expos2 you will know that it will carry the Carbon Reduction Institutes accreditation as being a Carbon Neutral Product which is something you can also highlight. We are proud to be NoCO2 certified and to make a substantial difference for a better future.

Fulton Francis


Actual Data Upload: Rather than assuming use patterns on devices Fulton Francis wanted to base all calculations on actual verifiable data. This is achieved by physically metering each device for an agreed period. Metering equipment will capture actual usage patterns and also capture standby periods when devices are still drawing power. Once the data is captured the upload function can calculate the results from anywhere in the world.

Save & Export Function: Uploaded data is saved in a central database.

A comparison can then be made with any future device analysis, so as to accurately quantify any carbon emission/electricity savings.

The export feature allows all data to be graphed for analysis in the summary report.

  In developing these innovations to the standard carbon calculator model, Fulton Francis has shown a commitment to accurately quantifying all costs associated with a company's print infrastructure. Clients can then make informed decisions, based on verifiable data, to optimize their printing infrastructure in order to meet their global sustainability goals.

Mercure Meetings

Mercure Hotels offer quality 3.5-4 star accommodation to make your stay away from home as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Mercure is part of the Accor group, a European leader and major global player in travel, tourism and corporate services.

Mercure Hotels have engaged the Carbon Reduction Institute (CRI) to consult on the group’s Carbon Neutral conferencing program launched in 2008 – ‘Mercure Meetings’.  To enable Mercure Hotels to offset the emissions from their conferences, CRI provided the hotels with a conference calculator that takes into account emissions from energy usage such as heating, lighting and cooking; as well as food and stationery provided at the conferences.

Providing those calculators will give the Mercure Hotels a significant competitive edge over other, emissions intensive conference venue providers.

Mercure Meetings New Zealand

MERCURE MEETINGS – CARBON NEUTRAL OFFERING

The Carbon Reduction Institute is proud to partner with Mercure in New Zealand for the first nation-wide carbon neutral meeting offering from a major hotel chain.

The Mercure Meetings offering is specifically designed to measure and offset the greenhouse gas footprint produced by each meeting service. Each Mercure hotel then funds the cost of the offsets and will not pass them on to you.

The Carbon Reduction Institute in conjunction with Mercure calculates the emissions from the following:

                - energy used to heat, cool and ventilate the venue

- electricity consumed by lighting and AV equipment used

- emissions embodied in the food and beverage packages supplied for the event

The emissions from these services are calculated based on the running sheet of the event using published life cycle data, an input/output analysis of the New Zealand economy and emission factors provided by industry bodies, universities and the Ministry for the Environment. These emissions are then offset using carbon credits that are certified under the internationally recognised Voluntary Carbon Standard.

Currently the offsets will be funding the ‘Household Energy Efficient Lighting Project’ (HELP), implemented by Energy Mad (a New Zealand based company). With the aim to lessen climate change through economical energy savings, Energy Mad have partnered with electricity networks and retail outlets encouraging consumers to purchase the Ecobulb (Australasia’s highest performance energy saving bulb) at a heavily discounted rate. By installing Ecobulbs to replace incandescent light bulbs, the initiative leads to a direct reduction in fossil fuel electricity generation and reduces consumer’s electricity bills and wastage in our landfills.

What is not included in the emissions calculation is the travel by attendees to get to and from the event as well as any material brought in by the event organisers. The emissions from these sources are often the largest contributor to the total emission of an event, therefore the total event should not be referred to as carbon neutral unless these emissions have been calculated and offset.

Rubik Financial


In early 2009, Rubik commissioned the Carbon Reduction Institute to undertake a complete carbon footprint audit on the business to see what actions can be taken to reduce the impact Rubik's operations have on climate change. The audit included emissions from electricity usage, flights taken by Rubik staff; fuel usage and waste; staff work travel and staff commuting from and to work; and embodied emissions in Rubik's assets and expenses items.

Rubik now purchases carbon credits from the Karnataka Renewable Energy Project in India to offset their emissions. These carbon carbon offsets are accredited under the Voluntary Carbon Standard and have been third-party audited by DNV. The Project has been registered under the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism since 2007. To find out more about the credits Rubik purchases to offset its emissions please click here.
