The National Carbon Offset Standard (NCOS) for Organisations has been designed to accommodate a wide variety of organisations with operations in Australia, regardless of scale and type. From large-scale organisations with thousands of employees to local businesses, the NCOS for Organisations can be used as a framework to achieve carbon neutrality and showcase climate leadership.

For organisations, the choice to reduce emissions and move towards carbon neutrality is being driven by the cost savings achievable through energy efficiency measures, the improving business case of using and investing in renewable energy and demand from customers and employees for businesses with a minimal impact on our climate.
