In this edition we share with you our interview with Matthew Wright, Executive Director of Beyond Zero Emissions; our insight piece on integrating philanthropy into business and a deep dive into solar concentrating thermal technology amongst other highlights.
We are also very excited to announce that Turning Green has reached GreenBizCheck (www.greenbizcheck.com) gold certification.
GreenBizCheck's practical and effective program helped Turning Green quickly implement environmentally responsible business practices that have helped save resources, attract customers, motivate staff and help protect the environment.
"We are providing businesses with a practical and low cost means of taking action to help reduce their increasing impact on climate change", said GreenBizCheck Managing Director Nicholas Bernhardt. "Our assessment and action-oriented report is so thorough we offer a 100% money back guarantee that clients will easily save the cost of certification in the first year," he said.
"Turning Green enjoyed working with GreenBizCheck to efficiently reduce energy, water and waste costs in our business. Aside from the cost savings we were keen to set a high green standard in our market and independently show Turning Green is committed to sustainable business practices." Lisa Tarry said.

As always we seek to demonstrate that the term ‘green-to-gold’ is real, and by turning green, the bottom line can actually grow. We continually outline the complex backdrop we are operating against, highlight some of the barriers to progress but above all, demonstrate how it is possible for businesses with the right resources to ensure Australia is competitive in the emerging clean energy economy.
