Future Group
Future Group has launched a campaign on behalf of Australian businesses calling on the government to commit to a 75% emissions reduction on 2005 levels by 2035. In the first 24hrs, some of Australia’s most influential businesses have already signed on including Fortescue, Bank Australia, Ben & Jerry’s, Sendle and Intrepid. The campaign, Business for 75, is a coalition of business leaders across Australia that firmly believes a target of 75% reduction is not only reasonable but critical. Fundamental to the call for action is: Business For 75 is calling on the government to commit to a 75% emissions reduction on 2005 levels by 2035. A clear emissions target is not only good for the climate, it’s good for business. The 75% target is backed by climate science and would provide the certainty needed for business to invest in their sustainable futures. The Business For 75 coalition is calling on the Australian Government to commit to an emissions reduction target of at least 75% below 2005 levels by 2035. As the government prepares to set its 2035 emissions target, businesses are invited to sign the Business For 75 open letter calling for the 75% target. “A 75% target will give business clarity and confidence to invest in Australia’s sustainable future. A credible climate target is key to achieving long term economic strength and stability,” Future Group chief executive Simon Sheikh said. Backed by research from the Climate Council, the 75% target is the minimum scientific floor for emissions reduction. “75% is essential. It gives us the certainty we need to get on with the job, and it keeps Australia competitive in a global economy that is rapidly decarbonising.” “A 75% target by 2035 will set the right policy direction to drive action and investor confidence, strengthen Australia’s position in global supply chains, spark innovation in clean technology and low-emissions industries and help manage climate risk.” “As the Government considers its emissions reductions target, it should remember that we will only unlock new export markets with strong targets. Charting a conservative course, such as a figure in the mid 60s, may see Australia miss the opportunity to attract the capital required to build a clean energy export industry,” said Mr Sheikh. It’s also an achievable target. Current climate commitments by states and territories already point to a 66-71% reduction by 2035, putting a national 75% target well within reach. Companies within the Business for 75 coalition are already improving energy efficiency, investing in renewables, modernising operations, and building the industries and jobs of tomorrow. Now, leadership from the government is needed. All businesses supporting this target are invited to sign the open letter at www.businessfor75.com.au.

One New Zealand
Our climate targets just got the global tick of approval ✅ One NZ’s emissions reduction targets have now been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative – confirming they align with a 1.5°C warming pathway, the most ambitious goal under the Paris Agreement. It’s recognition that our targets are not just ambitious; they’re credible, measurable, and aligned with the science. And we didn’t just wait for the targets to be verified before getting started, with work continuing to tackle reductions. In FY25 alone, we reduced our Scope 1, 2 and selected Scope 3 emissions by 64%, including a 94% drop in electricity-related emissions after switching to 100% renewable for our directly purchased electricity. 📉⚡ We’ve also rolled out AI-powered energy efficiency across our mobile network, including “micro sleeps” for our cell sites during low-use periods – saving 16 GWh of power over the year. All of this is detailed in our latest Sustainability Report – which lays the groundwork for our now-verified climate targets (https://lnkd.in/gssZHDVd). But this is just the beginning. To meet our 2030 targets, we’re focused on electrifying our operations; phasing out old energy inefficient tech; promoting circularity through trade-in programmes and low-carbon devices; and working closely with suppliers to drive Scope 3 emissions reductions across our supply chain. There’s more to do, but this is a big step on our journey to support a greener Aotearoa. 🙌🌱 📄 Read the full announcement here: https://lnkd.in/gMM3W6vR

Greenpeace Australia Pacific
Almost every company in the Business Council of Australia (BCA) claims to be committed to climate action, but the BCA has become a mouthpiece for Big Gas. Today Greenpeace is launching the Climate Credibility Scorecard. We are ranking members of the BCA based on whether their actions match their climate commitments — and the results are impossible to ignore. This five-step pathway, starting with acknowledging the science, and culminating with companies finally cutting ties with the BCA, exposes which brands are taking climate action seriously, and which ones are quietly backing the BCA’s dirty gas agenda. Household names like Telstra, Coles Group, and the Commonwealth Bank have scored zero. They position themselves as climate leaders, but in reality are giving the BCA cover to continue pushing for new fossil fuel projects and weaker climate targets. This is greenwashing, plain and simple. If these companies want to be taken seriously on climate action, they need to cut ties with the BCA once and for all. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gNEzj8jq

Here's a nerdy post for those interested in the push to reform Australia's national environmental laws... Most media, political and environmental advocacy attention has been focused on ways to improve assessment and approval processes for developments so that (hopefully) these have less impact on our environment and don't get in the way of the renewable energy role out. But there's much more to protecting the environment than just mines, fines and transmission lines. To stop extinctions and restore ecological health, Australia needs to also: 1️⃣ Protect and restore threatened species and ecological communities – known as ‘recovery’ 2️⃣ Eliminate or reduce the major threats to nature – known as ‘threat abatement’ Recovery gets a lot of attention, but even if recovery processes were optimal, the current fragmented and limited focus on threat abatement within the law and government priorities leads to continuous growth in threatened species lists, ongoing extinctions, landscape degradation and significant economic costs. Reforms of the EPBC Act will fail to stop environmental degradation unless they also significantly strengthen Australia’s capacity to systematically identify, prevent and abate threats to nature - especially invasive species. That is why the Invasive Species Council is advocating for vital reforms to deal with: ❌ An ad-hoc, nomination-based process for listing Key Threatening Processes (KTPs), leading to a lack of comprehensive identification of both existing and emerging threats to nature. ❌ Live import regulations which are insufficient and often lack clear objectives and standards, leading to the introduction of high-risk invasive species. ❌ Inconsistent post-border regulation of established invasives across states and territories. ❌ Listed threats often lack corresponding abatement plans or policies, and even when plans exist, implementation is often uncoordinated and unaccountable. ❌ There are no robust requirements for monitoring the status of threats or progress in abatement, hindering adaptive management and accountability. Have a read of our briefing note for Minister Murray Watt which goes into detail about the reforms we want to see, including: ✅ Strengthen prevention at the border by reforming the EPBC Act's live import provisions (Part 13A) to (1) Mandate a highly precautionary, risk-averse approach for all live import decisions (2) Extend assessment requirements to fungi, protists, viruses, bacteria, archaeobacteria, not just plants and animals (3) Create a "prohibited list" for unsuitable taxa (4) establish an independent scientific committee to advise on decisions ✅ Enhance Australia's Threat Abatement System by (1) requiring systematic identification and listing (2) enabling flexible response options and action-oriented plans ✅ Establish a nationally consistent, risk-based scheme to regulate the sale and transport of invasive or potentially invasive species within Australia.
