Many Australian companies are choosing to combat greenhouse gas emissions irrespective of government.
This is not merely a case of environmental altruism, but one of business necessity, as they fear being locked out of lucrative international markets. This is particularly true in architecture as carbon-neutral and energy-efficient solutions to industrial and commercial designs become more prevalent.
Woodhead International was the first Australian architectural firm to take up the environmental challenge. "The goal is to offset what we do in carbon output by making an investment in environmentally beneficial projects," Woodhead's director of sustainability, Digby Hall, says. Hall also says the emergence of regional powerhouses China and India forces business partners to meet certain environmental benchmarks.
