GreenBizCheck: Brisbane

About

Greenbizcheck is an environmental certification company that helps businesses reduce their impact on the environment. Clients complete a best-practice, online checklist which prescribes the reduction of energy, waste and water usage and saves money. We subsequently guide a client with an in-depth assessment report containing a wide range of practical measures to reach an efficiency threshold. Once this rigorous benchmark is achieved and the residual carbon emissions have been offset we issue an greenbizcheck certification. As far as offsetting is concerned we work predominantly with the Australian Rainforest Foundation.

The checklist incorporates the following sections:

- Energy conservation

- Water consumption reduction

- Waste reduction and recycling

- Transportation & travel

- Supply chain sustainability

- General environmental issues

- Carbon Calculation
