Fees

You will enter into a licence agreement before you are certified by Climate Active. The licence agreement includes the terms and conditions for certification and the reporting and validation schedules. The most up-to-date fee structure is listed in the licence agreement.

There are also fees for a third-party verification report and the offsets and consultancy services. We do not set the fees for offsets or consultancy services.

Timelines

When you are ready, Climate Active applications for organisation, product, service, precinct or event certification can be made via the User Portal. Apply via the User Portal button in the website header.

Please allow up to 4 weeks for our team to process your initial application, and allow at least 4 months to complete the entire certification process.

Calculating your emission boundary – purchasing and reporting on offsets

Our Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standards provide best practice guidance on how to measure, reduce and report emissions relating to your business activity (organisation), building, product, service, event or precinct.

The Climate Active Technical Guidance Manual will help you complete your carbon neutral application. It explains the step-by-step application processes for each type of certification, including calculating your emission boundary, purchasing and reporting on offsets and compliance procedures.

The public disclosure statements from our certified businesses will give you an idea of your likely carbon footprint, based on businesses similar to yours.

Registered consultants

You can speak with a Climate Active registered consultant to help your business to become carbon neutral and achieve Climate Active Carbon Neutral certification.

Third party validation guidance and verification procedures

Our third-party validation procedures ensures carbon calculations are accurate and transparent. Organisations applying for carbon neutral certification must have their source data independently audited or verified.
