3Fish

3Fish has been born out of a desire to create a commercially successful company, leveraging (but not replicating) previous experience in a manner that "does the right thing", that is something to be proud of, feel good about and have a bit of fun with. When our kids ask us about global warming, environmental degradation, child labour and sweatshops we would like to say that we did something to make a difference. "We would like to create a company that other people want to work for and be proud to be associated with, and presume that we will attract people with a strong moral compass", says Marty Dillon, Managing Director, 3Fish . The idea of leading industry change appeals to the 3Fish team; "doing things a bit differently in an industry (particularly from a supply perspective) that has been doing things in the same way for many years. 3Fish aims to be the industry benchmark for ethical sourcing. We want to create an easily recognisable brand in the market place that represents ethically sourced merchandise", says Natalie Dillon, Marketing Director, 3Fish . It is expected that other suppliers will, over time, attempt to say that "we can do that too". However, as market leader, and sole specialist in this area 3Fish aims to offer an unmatchable "authenticity guarantee" supported by an independent audit trail. Philosophically, and hopefully, over the years ethical sourcing becomes commonplace in the mass market and so by having cool, funky design fundamental to the business, 3Fish will continue to provide innovative sourcing concepts to clients.

3Fish are making a difference




3Fish combines extensive global promotional marketing and sourcing experience with a certification and auditing program that ensures environmental, social and economic sustainability, and traceability back to the source. When our kids ask us about global warming, environmental degradation, child labour and sweatshops let's all say that we did something to make a difference. Recognise right now that every one of our purchasing decisions has a ripple effect around the globe and choose merchandise that you can truly be proud of and feel good about at every level. It is time to make smart decisions about our promotional marketing spend and take responsibility for the end results of our demand. The inconvenient truth is no longer acceptable. Every dollar you spend has the power to invoke change. 3Fish is all about merchandise with cool design that makes a difference...let's change the world and have some fun doing it...

Alto Hotel


Prior to certification, Alto Hotel had already committed to reducing their carbon footprint through offsetting emissions from electricity usage, fuel and flights directly with their service providers. NoCO2 certification furthers the hotel's strong commitment to sustainability and demonstrates ongoing efforts to contribute to a healthier environment.  

The Alto Hotel on Bourke has enhanced its reputation as one of Melbourne's leading hotels in guest satisfaction as well as innovation by becoming the Australia's first carbon neutral hotel. Some food & beverage style hotels, cabins and cottages have offset carbon from some of their services or provide an option for guests to pay for offsets, however Alto is the first city hotel to provide all of its services and facilities as carbon neutral within its pricing.

The Alto Hotel is a leader in sustainable tourism



"We have already been recognised as a leader in sustainable tourism yet wanted to ensure we continue to innovate and show that it is possible to have guilt free travel without compromising on quality or service," said Gary Stickland, General Manager of Alto Hotel on Bourke."Instead of simply paying someone to make our environmental footprint go away we have ensured that we have minimised our output as much as practical first, then made the decision to offset the remaining carbon that we have not been able to remove from our operations" he said. "All of our environmental initiatives have been made by considering our guests first. This means that some guests are not even aware that they have stayed in a sustainable hotel as we have designed our programs to effectively be behind the scenes and not require any effort from our guests, unless they want to be more involved." The hotel provides the key ingredient for the potential to have a low carbon holiday or business trip to Melbourne.

To achieve NoCO2 certification, Alto Hotel undertook a comprehensive carbon emissions audit that captured and quantified all of the hotel's greenhouse gas emissions. The audit included emissions from fuel and energy consumption onsite; staff travel, water and waste usage and flights taken by Alto Hotel staff. In addition, the embodied emissions in the hotel's assets and expenses items were also audited to capture indirect emissions from supply chain purchases and any products bought, used and sold through the hotel.

Art of Espresso

Adrian & Gabrielle Capra of the Art of Espresso Coffee Company began their journey into coffee through the hospitality industry and a love of the cafe lifestyle.

Eleven years ago, they opted for a "tree change" and gave up the city lifestyle to open their dream cafe in the country. It was either open a cafe or don't make the move as Adrian could not go without his daily espressos. After many visits to the country they wanted to introduce the city cafe scene to the country and thus their quest to change the way coffee is perceived in the country began.

They quickly gained a reputation for their coffee, food and service but it was the coffee where they held their passion. After serving coffee at local country events they decided to design and build a mobile coffee cart.

Art of Espresso are now proudly NoCO2 certified.

Boomerang Books

Boomerang Books is proud to be Australia's first carbon neutral online bookstore, independently accredited by the Carbon Reduction Institute (Certification #NC166).

In addition to its carbon neutrality, Boomerang Books has implemented a host of environmentally-friendly measures to minimise its internal environmental footprint. In this way, Boomerang Books is contributing to the environmental sustainment of the Australian book industry.

Carbon Neutrality

Books are made of carbon.  Trees are felled to pulp paper.  Energy is consumed to publish and print books.  Fuel and resources are consumed by the supply chain that delivers books to the customer's doorstep. 

It is appropriate that Boomerang Books, as a book retailer, contributes back to the environment from which its books are derived.

By making a contribution, Boomerang Books is helping to ensure that book publishing and retailing are sustainable practices into the future.  Boomerang Books is doing its part to ensure that coming generations will have the opportunity to read and treasure books, as we do today.

Box n Go

Like you we care for the environment. When you use Box n Go you’ll have the comfort of knowing our storage and moving services are carbon neutral.

Box n Go is an accredited carbon neutral business

Global warming is changing the way the world does business. Consumers are demanding low carbon products and services – we are proud that our Company, Box n Go, is certified NoC02.

Our NoC02 certification means that we have measured, reduced and offset our total greenhouse gas impact. The NoC02 certification means we are carbon neutral as we have negated all greenhouse emissions that occur as a consequence of our operation.

As a start-up, we purchase accredited carbon credits to offset the estimated emissions from the first 12 months of our operations. Furthermore, we report to the Carbon Reduction Institute each quarter on all of our directly controllable emissions, including flights, electricity consumption and waste. The emissions from these sources will then be offset each quarter. This is performed through CRI’s online emissions reporting portal.

To cover off on any uncertainties in this approach, we have agreed to have a full carbon audit encompassing the emissions from all purchases made as well as the emissions from staff travel and waste after completing 12 months worth of operations. Through execution of the agreement, Box n Go is liable to cover the shortfall between the amount offset and the amount emitted through the purchase of carbon credits, should the latter amount exceed the former.

Bronte Surf Club

In 2005 Bronte Surf Life Saving Club decided to begin the process of making their club more sustainable and to work toward the longer term goal of Carbon Neutrality.

All members of the governing body were enthusiastic as they could see the growing concern about Climate Change and the potentially devastating effects upon the planet. Being a Surf Life Saving Club and at the forefront of many of these effects they felt it was their responsibility to make whatever changes necessary to the Club and its surrounds.

In the same way that Major John Bond in 1903 had a simple community idea that became Surf Lifesaving, the largest volunteer organisation in the world, we believe that if we show and foster environmental initiatives that we may be able to help our community in demonstrating what can be done to arrest climate change.

Cullen Wines

Cullen Wines is located in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. The company has always had a legacy about caring for the environment. Initially starting in 1971 as a minimal chemical input vineyard, they then became certified organic and then finally certified biodynamic with the Biological Farmers Association.

In the early 1960's detailed climatic studies of various regions in Southwestern Australia revealed that during the winegrowing season, Margaret River's climate was similar to that of Bordeaux, particularly Pomerol. The conclusion that Margaret River was ideal for viticulture was first tested in Wilyabrup in 1966, when Diana and Kevin Cullen planted a trial acre of vines. The encouraging results led to the couple planting 18 acres of vines on their sheep and cattle farm in 1971.

Cullen Wines while remaining family owned has since evolved making quality wine from biodynamically grown grapes sourced exclusively from The Cullen Estate Vineyard and Mangan Vineyard.

The philosophy of Cullen Wines is to search for the best quality expression of the vineyard in the wine.  The maritime climate, rocky soils, dry farming, and biodynamic practices all help to create individual and diverse winestyles which are unique to Cullen.

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.

With technology advancement in recycled and recyclable material there is no reason why we have to choose items made from cheap virgin materials that can only be used once.  Collectively this method will significantly reduce the amount of rainforests being destroyed, it can ensure people are treated kindly in their work and ultimately can educate the next generation to do better than we have.

Short Back and Sides

  

Stu Brown, Paul Tenorio, Steve Hudson and Kyle Williams all met while studying at Newcastle Conservatorium, and formed the group in 2001 as a one off, for a proms concert at the con. By popular demand they continued to sing together and in 2002, toured the UK and France with the University of Newcastle Chamber Choir. Since then, they have performed around Newcastle and the Hunter Valley at various weddings, functions and locations including City Hall and the Hunter Valley Gardens.


Short Back and Sides care for the environment and have been certified carbon neutral by the Carbon Reduction Institute (noco2.com.au).


The quartet performed on Australia's Got Talent 2009 and reached the semi finals. Here's what one critic had to say:

“If you thought barbershop quartets were old guys singing vintage tunes, prepare to be amazed. Short Back and Sides wowed judges and crowds alike with their recent appearance on Australia’s Got Talent. This talented foursome gave barbershop a new spin with a soaring rendition of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” Individually these guys all have the vocal chops to impress a capella. But when their voices come together the magic really happens. Who needs a string section when you can harmonize like this?”

Steele Associates

Steele Associates Architecture are an environmentally conscious company that have taken large steps to reduce their impact on the environment. They have engaged the Carbon Reduction Institute to quantify the emissions produced from the running of the business and recommend measures to reduce these emissions. The Carbon Reduction Institute has created and surrendered greenhouse abatement certificates to offset these emissions, making Steele Associates the first NoCO2 certified carbon neutral construction and architecture business. The Carbon Reduction Institute will monitor the emissions produced by Steele Associates to ensure their carbon footprint is reduced and remains offset.

Steele Associates launches its Carbon Neutral apartment renovation for the Australian Conservation Foundation.

Steele Associates undertook an apartment renovation for the ACF using energy efficient lights and appliances and environmentally friendly products. 

Steele Associates took another step for the environment and had all the emissions generated from the renovation calculated and offset by the Carbon Reduction Institute.  This involved calculating the embodied emissions of all the products used in the renovation a well as emissions from power use onsite and travel to the site and then offsetting these emissions using carbon credits created through energy efficiency projects.

Student Exchange


The experience of going on exchange can bring enormous rewards:

  • Learn about the world first hand
  • Open career doors you didn’t know existed
  • Get to know how others live and come to see the world from another perspective
  • Learn another language
  • Test yourself and acquire independence and maturity
  • Make new friends and appreciate old ones even more
  • Gain experience and judgement

But living overseas is not easy:

  • It requires courage to travel half way round the world to live with a new family in a new community very different from your own
  • It requires flexibility to attend a new school, make new friends and perhaps learn a new language
  • It requires an open mind to live in another culture, to observe and appreciate the differences and to truly learn from the experience
  • ?You become immersed in the local community
  • You will find that all the familiarity of home – the ways of doing things, the people, sights, sounds, smells - are suddenly no longer there. You will be confronted with completely different ways of seeing and understanding the world around you
  • You may encounter homesickness and culture shock particularly in the early stages of the program
    But if you are up for a challenge and have realistic expectations then being an exchange student can be a life changing experience.

Superior Jetties

The Low Carbon Marina Initiative was launched at the Australian Marine Innovation Conference on the Gold Coast. Keynote speaker Senator The Hon Kim Carr, Australian Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research said, "Climate change is pressing to our marine industry.  The Low Carbon Marina Initiative to be launched today is one example of how the marina industry is responding to this challenge."

The initiative is part of the Marina Industries Association of Australia (MIAA) vision to be a leader in marina environmental programs. The MIAA has set a goal of a 20% reduction in the operational carbon footprint of Australian marinas by 2015. 

MIAA has partnered with the Carbon Reduction Institute to develop and manage the Low Carbon Marina Initiative. The initiative provides a simple certification system to enhance the sustainability of marinas and related businesses. It allows for participation at varying levels of carbon reduction. Participating businesses go through a three step process. Firstly there is an assessment of the carbon footprint; then development of strategies to reduce carbon emissions, and finally the offsetting of unavoidable carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits. 

The Initiative provides marina and related operators with real cost savings and marketing benefits at a time of rapidly growing consumer awareness of the need to act on global warming.

As part of the development and lead up to the launch marinas, in Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland are already participating in the Carbon Marina Initiative. Superior Jetties are participating and MIAA expect over 40 businesses will be involved in the initiative within eight months.

Vital Plus

Vital Plus owner Frank Sellam immediately took to the concept of the Low Carbon Spa & Beauty Initiative when he first heard about it. After an initial phone conversation and proposal, he decided to engage the Carbon Reduction Institute to undertake a carbon footprint analysis of his business. Frank recognised that this would give him a significant competitive advantage over other businesses in the industry, while allowing him to take appropriate action to reduce his carbon footprint which he could leverage against well-founded calculations.

The Carbon Reduction Institute determined that Frank’s business was responsible for just under 775 tonnes of CO2e last year. This number was established using internationally recognised methods and standards, and included emissions from fuel consumption, electricity; staff commuting, flights; waste and product freight as well as embodied emissions in products, assets and expenses. By purchasing carbon credits to offset those unavoidable carbon emissions, Vital Plus can now say it is truly carbon neutral.

Vital Plus purchase energy efficiency carbon credits from the HELP project in New Zealand to offset their unavoidable carbon emissions. The HELP projects distributes energy saving light globes around New Zealand households, while also assisting in educating consumers about the importance of reducing their carbon footprint at home. The HELP credits meet CRI’s stringent assessment criteria for carbon credits and bring along important other benefits.

William Roberts

We have begun the challenging task of minimising the impact of human induced climate change. William Roberts have commissioned an emissions report from the Carbon Reduction Institute to investigate our impact on the environment and to determine measures that could be taken to reduce this impact.

The aim is to reduce greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere, and we achieve this by purchasing the same number of 'carbon credits' (one credit represents saving one tonne of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere) as our equivalent carbon liability.

Other efforts to reduce our impact include liaising with carbon neutral suppliers and implementing a clause in our supplier engagement agreements that details minimum requirements.

William Roberts' objective was to be carbon neutral by 2010. By developing internal awareness programs and through team commitment, William Roberts is pleased to announce that we are now carbon neutral.

XTM


XTM is making our planet Cleaner and Healthier

XTM is committed to expanding its product line both in Australia and overseas. New and exciting additions are always in the pipeline, initiated by the constant feedback we received from our sponsored skiers and boarders.

We here at XTM are dependent upon Mother Nature for our livelihood. We recognise the growing impact of climate change on our environment and the threat it poses not just to our industry, but to the planet as a whole. It is because of this risk that we thought we needed to recognise our own environmental footprint and take some action to minimise our impact on the planet.

To do this we enlisted the help of the Carbon Reduction Institute to conduct an audit on the whole of XTM's business. This audit determined what our total carbon footprint was and calculated the level of carbon credits that we needed to purchase to offset our total footprint.

But we are not happy with resting on our laurels and are determined to continue to reduce our total carbon footprint by managing our energy usage, purchasing carbon offsets whenever we fly, and to continue to look for new environmentally friendly product to add to our range.

We actively encourage all our business partners to join us in making our planet a cleaner, healthier place to live. We do this on behalf of our children's children.

ZILZIE WINES

The fragile relationship between the environment and wine production means climate change will dramatically affect the wine industry. Temperatures in most Australian wine regions are projected to increase up to 1.7°C by 2030 resulting in irreversible changes which wine businesses will need to adapt to. At Zilzie, we have always had a strong environmental ethic, so deciding to eliminate our carbon footprint and promote a wine range as carbon neutral was one more step to show we care about our connection to the land. We also were excited to see the potential benefits from marketing and staff education.

The first step in engaging the Carbon Reduction Institute to make our wine carbon neutral was to undergo a comprehensive carbon audit that quantified the greenhouse gas emissions from the life cycle of the product from cradle to consumer. See our disclosure statement for more details about what this included. An audit report produced by CRI showed the sources and breakdown of emissions. We then purchased carbon credits to offset these emissions and certify the Bulloak range under the NoCO2 certification program.
