Carbon Innovators Network

Overview

Climate change is a critical issue that can only be addressed through innovation and collaboration.

EPA Victoria business clients are now regularly seeking support and advice on climate change. In response, EPA has established the Carbon Innovators Network – a network for business leaders and climate change experts.

EPA helps organisations strategically and practically address their carbon emissions, and in doing so, transform climate change from a business cost to a business opportunity. We want to stimulate debate and innovation in carbon management and provide the support and tools businesses require to develop appropriate carbon management strategies.

To become a Network member please email carbon.innovators@epa.vic.gov.au

• Discussion forums with key climate change innovators;
• Public recognition opportunities for highlighting their innovative carbon management strategies;

What is required of Network members?

We recognise that Network members will have a variety of interests and experience. Where members see value in their involvement, we would like them to:

• Participate in discussions on business management issues related to climate change;
• Provide feedback to EPA on proposed tools and resources; and
• Make recommendations regarding initiatives – forums, training, tools, guidance – that members would like EPA to undertake.
  

Network programs and initiatives

EPA’s goal is to respond to business needs and emerging issues in the field of carbon management. As such, we are aiming for two-way communication between EPA and Network members, and to tailor Network activities to member interests and needs.

Programs and initiatives intended to be run through the Network:

• regular e-newsletters capturing current climate change news, progress on Network initiatives, case studies, regulatory information, and other interesting news items
• further development of the Carbon Management Principles (developed by EPA during its own process towards carbon neutrality) and development of any business tools required to support and/or implement carbon management actions
• industry and topic specific roundtable events designed to provide a more informal environment to facilitate discussion between Network members
• business forums designed to facilitate larger scale networking opportunities and provide information on profiling particular organisations or topics, with a broader climate change focus.
