"The sort of increased stridency of the Andrew Forrest messaging is being reflected in many boardrooms around the country and around the world," he said.At the other end of the spectrum, small businesses are also signing up in a less formal way to offset their emissions. Mokosh owner Marion O'Leary buys native trees to sequester carbon and offset her company's emissions."Since we started in 2019, we have bought 2,760 trees so we are pretty proud of that," she said.Ms O'Leary said she had become disheartened over what she perceives to be a lack of progress on climate change in Australia.
"Buying trees is a way to offset our emissions and also make our customers feel that by buying some of our product, they are also offsetting some of their own emissions too."In total, 180 businesses are currently certified under the Federal Government's scheme "Climate Active", with 260 certifications for products and services between them.
