CARBON MANAGERS - OUR PROCESS
Carbon Managers is made up of a team of experts to assist corporations
- Record
- The corporations' carbon footprint.
- Report
- That footprint as required under NGER.
- Reduce
- The energy use and thereby reduce the extent of the carbon use.
- Rebates:
- Purchase and management of the offsets required.
- Research
- and development funds are available
- Revenue
- to the bottomline is the outcome.
Carbon Emissions Measurement and Sustainability Reporting
The Australian Government has legislated for reporting under the NATIONAL GREENHOUSE ENERGY REPORTING ACT [NGERS] under which entities have to report their carbon footprint."Entities" may extend beyond subsidiaries and can include overseas manufacturing partnerships.
NGERS is legislation that requires reporting now where an entity exceeds a certain threshold as indicated below.The Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme [CPRS] is legislation still before the Senate and it will be based on NGERS reporting criteria.
Carbon Managers has designed a software package that allows an entity the ability to manage multiple sites and to educate managers in these sites.

Thresholds:
The following are thresholds for reporting in the years identified. If a company pays more than the thresholds for one or more sources of energy, it is required to Report.

These are broad guide lines but more detailed accounting is required to convert these expenditures to carbon.
