Consultation Hub - Consultation for the Corporate Emissions Reduction Transparency report

16 February 2022

The Corporate Emissions Reduction Transparency report (CERT) supports climate-related disclosures by Australian companies covered by the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme and gives investors, shareholders and the public a clearer picture of action taken by companies to reduce net emissions.

The CERT report is a simple report that will be published by the Clean Energy Regulator. It will aid comparisons with some elements of progress verified against quality agency data.

Participation is voluntary and open to all companies reporting more than 50 kilotonnes of emissions a year under the NGER scheme.
