gadens lawyers' sustainability and climate change team was established in 2006 to respond to the rapidly changing political, economic and legal landscape in Australia in relation to environmental sustainability and climate change.
We understand the significance of the commercial and regulatory reforms currently taking place. Companies need to move quickly to understand their new obligations and adapt their business operations to comply with mandatory regulations and to maximise the unique opportunities that continue to emerge.
We have an in depth and multi-faceted understanding of the complexities of the emerging regulatory and policy framework. We have worked closely with key stakeholders across a range of industries to develop specialised whole of business carbon strategies. These strategies range from compliance with mandatory regulations (such as the Renewable Energy Target, National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act, Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act and Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure) to capitalising on the recent emergence of government incentive schemes (such as the Energy Savings Scheme and National Carbon Offset Standard).
Drawing from a depth of expertise across a number of key practice areas, gadens lawyers sustainability and climate change is a market leader in creating unique contracting solutions to best achieve sustainable outcomes. We regularly advise on innovative approaches to energy performance contracting, green leasing, contracts for Green Star projects and a range of other project and development documents.
