Mandatory Offsets

Change is a fact of business.
But how will you handle climate change?

What can Carbon Conscious provide large emitters likely to have a liability under the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS)?

Accredited Carbon Offset solution – Carbon Conscious has undergone a rigorous process to become accredited under the Federal Government’s Greenhouse Friendly™Program. This accreditation will ensure that customers receive credible offsets from an approved project, specifically the capture of carbon by mallee eucalypt tree plantations in the Australian wheat belt.
A Hedge on Carbon Price – Mandatory compliance / major commercial emitters, emissions-intensive trade-exposed (EITE) companies gain access to a stream of carbon credits at a predetermined price and are therefore protected against future carbon price increases.
Tax deduction on forest sinks – Federal Government’s recent legislative changes allowing for 100% tax deductibility for investment in qualifying forest carbon sink projects.
Access to land – Carbon Conscious has access to large quantities of suitable land through associated company Australian Agricultural Contract Ltd (AACL). AACL operate Australia’s largest grain farming enterprise with access to greater than 1 million hectares.
Corporate Social Responsibility
- Environmental benefits to Australia gained from planting trees under the Carbon Conscious Carbon Capture Program^TM.
- Economical benefits to Australian farmers – keep them on the land in difficult economic conditions (increases in input costs and lower yields are turning farmers away from the land)
