Demand for resource efficiency, sustainability and commitments to net-zero are increasing across the global business community. Here in South Australia, we’ve enjoyed a rich history of sustainability policy and action, including Australia’s first state-wide 10c container deposit scheme, plastic bag and other single-use plastics bans, SA’s strategy to reduce food waste, along with bi-lateral support for climate action under the Climate Change and Greenhouse Emissions Reduction Act (2007).
Here at the South Australian Business Chamber, we are proud to be delivering the Accelerating Net Zero Emissions for Business (ANZEB) – pilot program with generous support from Green Industries SA. This program is delivered by the South Australian Business Chamber member and sustainability consultants 2XE and Eighty20 Communications. It increases the understanding of how to achieve net zero emissions by implementing circular economy and sustainability principles. It is the first of its kind in South Australia and has received positive feedback from all participants.

With round one successfully delivered, participants told us:
“The coaching was excellent, having that one-on-one talk through our specific challenges and opportunities.” Mike Brown, Gemtree Wines.
“Chloe and the Adelaide Fringe worked with internal teams such as Finance and Production, as well as collating information from external stakeholders including building managers, travel agents and printing companies to begin to develop their emissions baseline, covering scope one, two and three emissions (those related to energy, fuel, waste, water, travel and more).” Chloe Smith, Adelaide Fringe.
“I’m sure we’re all really familiar with online learning by now, so I found the program worked well. Nick and Melissa very strategically set the content up. I liked how each weekly module dropped, and then it was at our pace to work through it. We could always go to the South Australian Business Chamber or 2XE if there were any questions.” Mike Brown, Gemtree Wines.
