Our lives increasingly depend on the cloud, but while we are staring at our screens, few of us are actively contemplating the physical infrastructure that makes it possible. Data centres enable streamed movies, online payments, and AI queries: energy- and water-hungry facilities that are becoming increasingly critical and commonplace in Australia. 

Last week, our team swapped the office for the forest at Nanga Bush Camp, two days designed to recharge, reconnect, and remind ourselves what makes Perspektiv such a special place to work. 

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.
