As part of my Adventure Leave, an incredible initiative offered by my employer, Perspektiv, I recently completed the Venomous Snake Management Course at Discover Deadly, and it exceeded all expectations.

Carbon is no longer a back-office issue. It’s a boardroom priority, an investor demand, and a procurement requirement. The days of focusing solely on operational energy efficiency are over; the market now demands visibility across the entire value chain, which includes embodied carbon. 

Solarshed’s self-powered site accommodation units promised game-changing emission reductions alongside cost savings. But to build trust and accelerate adoption, they needed proof grounded in science and backed by robust data.  That’s where Perspektiv came in. Our sustainability experts turned raw operational monitoring data into a compelling, credible performance story that quantified Solarshed’s impact in black-and-white. 

The Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) will reshape the way companies disclose climate-related financial risks and opportunities. Aligned with the International Sustainability Standards Board’s IFRS S1 and S2, the new regime introduces a consistent, investor-focused framework for sustainability and climate disclosures.  For many organisations, the challenge isn’t whether to act... It’s knowing where to start.

We’re thrilled to share that Perspektiv has once again been recertified by Climate Active as a carbon-neutral organisation, with a 100% certified carbon-neutral service offering.

We’re excited to reintroduce our Sustainability Ratings team under a new name: Sustainable Infrastructure.  This change reflects more than a rebrand; it’s a recognition of how infrastructure sustainability is evolving and how we’re evolving with it. 

With the climate clock ticking and pressure mounting on utilities and agribusiness to deliver on climate commitments, biochar is emerging as a multi-dimensional solution: a carbon sink, a revenue opportunity, and a sustainable soil enhancer. 

On Friday, 15th August, eight members of our Perth team swapped laptops for Pottiputki's to take part in Trillion Trees’ annual planting day. It was a welcome change of pace, a chance to get our hands dirty, pick up a few mozzie bites, and contribute to something bigger than ourselves.
