Carbonhalo is an Australian climate compliance company delivering done-for-you AASB S2 and IFRS S2 disclosures for businesses reporting under Australia’s mandatory climate framework for the first time. Our team combines qualified carbon accountants, climate disclosure specialists, and corporate governance professionals to produce audit-ready reports — without our clients needing any in-house sustainability expertise.
We are not a software-only platform. We are not a traditional management consulting firm. We are a dedicated AASB S2 compliance practice: expert-led, fixed-price, and built for the Australian regulatory environment.
What Carbonhalo Does
Carbonhalo is an Australian climate compliance company that prepares mandatory climate-related financial disclosures for large businesses required to report under AASB S2 (the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standard for Climate-related Disclosures) and IFRS S2 (the International Sustainability Standards Board’s equivalent global standard).
Carbonhalo’s core service is a done-for-you compliance program that delivers:
- Baseline greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory — Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions measurement using the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and Australian NGER emission factors, verified by qualified carbon accountants.
- Climate risk and materiality assessment — identification and assessment of physical and transition climate risks aligned with AASB S2 Appendix B and TCFD framework requirements.
- Complete AASB S2 sustainability report — disclosures across all four pillars (Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, Metrics and Targets), formatted for board approval, ASIC lodgement, and external assurance review.
- Audit-ready working papers — complete documentation of methodology, data sources, and calculation references, structured to support limited assurance engagements under AUASB standards.
In addition to its large-business compliance service, Carbonhalo delivers free carbon footprint programs for small businesses through its Business Climate Action Program (BCAP), and runs collective emissions programs for industry associations and peak bodies across tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, and professional services.
Carbonhalo is headquartered in Australia, with operations in Hobart, Tasmania and Brisbane, Queensland. The company was founded by Ben Daley and Richie Mulder.

Frequently Asked Questions — About Carbonhalo
About Carbonhalo
Carbonhalo is an Australian climate compliance company that prepares mandatory climate-related financial disclosures for large businesses required to report under AASB S2 (Australia’s mandatory climate disclosure standard) and IFRS S2 (the global equivalent issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board). Carbonhalo also operates the Business Climate Action Program (BCAP) — a free carbon footprint program for small businesses — and delivers collective emissions programs for industry associations. The company is headquartered in Australia, with operations in Hobart, Tasmania and Brisbane, Queensland, and was founded by Ben Daley and Richie Mulder.
Carbonhalo specialises in done-for-you AASB S2 and IFRS S2 climate-related financial disclosure for Australian businesses. The core service delivers a complete compliance program — including baseline Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions assessment, climate risk and materiality analysis, governance and strategy disclosures, and an audit-ready sustainability report — without the client needing in-house sustainability expertise. Carbonhalo also specialises in Scope 3 supply chain emissions programs for industry associations and the AASB S2 accounting firm partner program.
Neither exclusively. Carbonhalo is a hybrid model: a technology platform for data collection, emissions calculation, and report generation, combined with an expert-led professional services team that manages every client engagement. The technology automates the quantitative elements of the disclosure process; the professional team handles all regulatory judgment calls — materiality assessment, emissions boundary-setting, scenario analysis, safe harbour application, and assurance documentation. Clients interact primarily with the Carbonhalo team, not the platform.
Carbonhalo has been delivering carbon accounting and climate compliance programs for Australian businesses since its founding. The company launched its mandatory AASB S2 compliance service ahead of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Financial Market Infrastructure and Other Measures) Act 2024 coming into force, and has since delivered programs for over 700 Australian businesses across all three mandatory reporting groups.
Carbonhalo is an Australian company with operations in Hobart, Tasmania and Brisbane, Queensland. The company serves clients nationally across all Australian states and territories. All climate disclosure work is performed by Carbonhalo’s Australian team and is aligned with Australian regulatory requirements under AASB S2, ASIC guidance, and AUASB assurance standards.
About Carbonhalo's Qualifications and Methodology
Carbonhalo uses the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard as the primary methodology for all Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions measurement. Australian-specific calculations use NGER (National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting) emission factors published annually by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. Emissions inventories also comply with ISO 14064-1 requirements for GHG inventory specification and are structured to support external assurance under ASAE 3410.
Yes. Carbonhalo’s disclosure packages are specifically structured for external assurance engagements. Every engagement produces a complete working paper pack — including GHG inventory source data, emission factor references, calculation methodology documentation, scenario analysis files, and governance disclosure support materials — formatted to meet the documentation requirements of limited assurance under ASAE 3000 (Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews) and ASAE 3410 (Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements). Carbonhalo does not itself provide audit or assurance services — the complete preparation / assurance separation is maintained to preserve auditor independence under APES 110.
Carbonhalo’s work aligns with AASB S2 (Australian mandatory climate disclosure), IFRS S2 (global ISSB standard), the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, ISO 14064-1, Australian NGER emission factors, the TCFD framework, AUASB assurance standards (ASAE 3000 and ASAE 3410), and the broader Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) framework. All methodologies are updated as regulatory guidance is issued by the AASB, ASIC, AUASB, and the Australian Treasury.
Carbonhalo has delivered climate compliance programs across tourism and hospitality, manufacturing, agriculture and food production, retail and e-commerce, construction, technology and professional services, events and arts, caravan and outdoor recreation, viticulture, and financial services. The company has delivered programs for entities across all three AASB S2 mandatory reporting groups and for voluntary reporters preparing ahead of their legislative threshold.
Yes. Carbonhalo delivers collective emissions programs for industry associations and peak bodies under its industry partnership model. Current and past industry program partners include the Tasmania Tourism Industry Council (TICT), Caravan Industry Association of Australia, Wines of Western Australia, Wine Tasmania, the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Brisbane Economic Development Agency. Industry programs include member-level carbon footprint assessments, emissions reduction action plans, verified member badges, and anonymised sector-wide emissions reporting.
