Our mission is to help organisations to enhance their business, communities and the environment through good business practices.

We make it easier for businesses to:

• Save costs and time;
• Increase profits.
• Improve sales.
• Reduce their environmental footprints.
• Avoid penalties for non- compliance with legal obligations.

Companies are under growing pressure from shareholders, employees, customers and  Governments to develop sustainable industry practices, improve energy efficiency, reduce water and resource usage and develop waste management strategies. Often they don’t have the time to find out what to do and to take action.

Organisations can find that they have a  number of laws, regulations, codes, standards and other rules that they have to comply with. Identifying these and managing the risks of non- compliance can be confusing and time consuming.

Ascentia Sustainability works with its clients to help them achieve their environmental sustainability goals and comply with their legal obligations. We use our expertise and knowledge to understand our client’s objectives and design tailored programs to help meet their needs.

Save costs and increase profits

Reviewing processes and procedures and developing and implementing good sustainability strategies provides great opportunities to businesses; opportunities and savings that come from more efficient uses of resources, waste reduction, innovation and from growing market share.

Improve sales

Communicating the environmental benefits of products, services and technology through environmental claims, eco-labelling and the use of third party certification trade marks can be a powerful marketing tool.  It can distinguish products from those of competitors.

Comply with the law

Companies’ compliance obligations are increasing with the need to report on, and communicate, sustainability plans to Government agencies and stakeholders.  Companies may be required to, or are choosing to, report their greenhouse gas emissions under the NGER scheme, develop action plans to reduce waste packaging ending up in the litter stream and report on their progress under the Australian Packaging Covenant (APC) and to join the Energy Efficiency Opportunities program, as well as other initiatives that aim to reduce the environmental footprint of companies.

Green marketing can be an effective differentiator of  products and services but claims must comply with trade practices laws and not  mislead consumers.  Making a wrong claim or failing to verify it can breach Australian consumer laws with unwanted and costly consequences.

With our experience in the law, compliance and environmental science we help you to identify and understand  your legal obligations, identify strategies and develop and implement plans to meet your  company’s sustainability goals.
