Carbon Offset Strategy

Whether required by law or driven by client expectations, a clear carbon offset strategy is now essential. At Westcourt, we help businesses measure, report, and responsibly offset their emissions as part of a structured carbon accounting and ESG framework.

From 1 January 2025, large entities must consider new reporting standards including AASB S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability Related Financial Information) and AASB S2 (Climate-Related Disclosures), aligned with IFRS S2. Many SMEs are also required to report emissions as part of supply chain obligations.

Carbon Accounting and ESG Reporting

Knowing the different types of carbon emissions is key to managing your carbon footprint:

Scope 1 Emissions: Direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by the business, such as emissions from company-owned vehicles and on-site fuel combustion (e.g., boilers, furnaces).
Scope 2 Emissions: Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the business.
Scope 3 Emissions: All other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the company, both upstream and downstream. This includes emissions from suppliers, transportation, waste management, and even employee commuting.

Scope 3 emissions are often the most significant and hardest to reduce. Working with suppliers and customers, businesses can implement strategies to lower these emissions. Without carbon reporting, your supply chain may be assessed at the highest emissions level, which can negatively impact your business.
