Keen to be Green: NCS International helping businesses transition to sustainability
As one of Australia’s foremost independent certification bodies, NCS International offers a range of independent assurance initiatives to help industry demonstrate environmental credentials. With a new division dedicated to the task, NCSI is your one-stop-shop for all things green.

Not sure on how the government's legislation on carbon reporting will effect your business? NGERS got you baffled? NCS International will be hosting informational workshops on how your business can cope with the reporting demands. The Workshops will be designed to provide you with an insight into the Federal government’s National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007, which obliges a large number of Australian businesses to monitor and report their greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. Failure to do so will mean that significant civil and criminal penalties, in excess of $220,000, may apply for failure to comply with the Act. Email us at info@ncsi.com.au to receive information on new developments in this area.

If you would like a first hand insight into your organisation’s current status and identify gaps to compliance against a particular code of practice such as NGER or ISO 14064, contact our Environment and Sustainability Services Manager, Nav Brah directly on nav.brah@ncsi.com.au. Nav can discuss with you how NCSI can assist your businesses meet environmental challenges with confidence.
