Carbon Footprint

Long-Term Carbon Monitoring System and Action Plan Developed

Problem

Midlands is a group of agribusinesses who were looking to get ahead of the curve in analysing and reducing their carbon footprint.


Solution

We worked with them to identify the key contributors to their carbon output across several of their sites as well as providing advice and guidance on New Zealand’s carbon credit system and how their businesses fitted in.


Outcome

The key outcomes were a long-term carbon monitoring system as well as an action plan of key steps in their decarbonisation roadmap.
