Brisbane’s Green Office Program
The City council of Brisbane has launched a sustainability program called the Green Heart, which aims to transform the city into an environmentally friendly city in all aspects of the community and business. Its ultimate aim in conjunction with other projects is toreach carbon neutrality by 2026.
The program is an important part of achieving the city's goal that is to increase the capacity of solar power in Brisbane, reduce significant amount of carbon and foster behavioral change among its residents.
Part of the Green heart's program is the City Switch Green Office Project which is encouraging offices and business across all industries to join the fight against carbon and increase their profits through minimising cost and increasing production at the same time.
The city council of Brisbane has collaborated with the Queensland's state government and related agencies to spread the project on a national level.
The city switch program offers free membership with a very minimal annual fee to National Australian Built Environment Rating Scheme (NABERS). Becoming a signatory to the program means that you acknowledge the serious threat that climate change will bring, and that you pledge that your business is committed to minimising these effects.
