Climate Active Organisations Pave The Way For Sustainable Action

Originally published: 7 June 2022. Archive context, checked 26 October 2026.

What the original article covered

The original article used examples of organisations participating in Climate Active to discuss carbon inventories, emissions reductions and residual emissions. The companies named were examples at publication; their present certification or claim status has not been rechecked here.

How to use this article now

For a current organisation, define the reporting boundary and period, keep physical reductions separate from renewable electricity attributes and carbon credits, and verify any public claim against its evidence and the current transition terms.

The human-facing original at this address retains its publication context. For current guidance, see Northmore Gordon's Climate Active transition page, carbon advisory or contact the team.

Is this article current advice to seek Climate Active certification?

No. It was originally published on 7 June 2022. On 24 July 2026 the Australian Government announced that Climate Active certification of voluntary climate claims will end, with 30 June 2027 proposed after a transition period. Check the current official notice and administrator guidance before acting.

What does the original article cover?

The original article used examples of organisations participating in Climate Active to discuss carbon inventories, emissions reductions and residual emissions. The companies named were examples at publication; their present certification or claim status has not been rechecked here.

What work remains useful during the transition?

A defined emissions inventory, source-data controls, reduction assessment and evidence for electricity attributes or carbon credits can support planning and claims. The relevant reporting framework and certification transition rules must be checked separately.

Does past Climate Active certification replace mandatory emissions or sustainability reporting?

No. Voluntary Climate Active certification and mandatory frameworks such as NGER or Australian sustainability reporting have separate scope, thresholds and requirements. Determine applicable obligations for the entity and period rather than inferring compliance from a certification or this historical article.
