11 September 2025
Focus area: Energy, emissions and decarbonisation
Program stream: Industry excellence
Project number: 2023-1037

This project conducted an analysis and assessment of an Australian processing company's carbon account (scopes 1, 2, and 3) and the carbon footprint of its major products. Additionally, selected energy and water data were reported in accordance with the company's sustainability framework.

Project objectives were:

1.    Develop an endorsed sustainability framework and emission reduction strategy. 
2.    Determine the carbon account (inventory) and carbon footprint through to the end customer. 
3.    Develop a net emission reduction strategy and trial options to reduce net emissions.
4.    Gather consumer insights to inform the development and commercialisation of new products featuring low / no carbon and/or climate positive net impacts. 
5.    Develop a reporting platform and strategy that aligns with internal and external communication needs. 

The project used GHG Protocol, ISO and National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory methods to meet Australian and international reporting requirements.
