ABOUT GREENHOUSE CHALLENGE PLUS
Through Greenhouse Challenge Plus, government and industry, together, are leading the challenge against climate change.
Greenhouse Challenge Plus enables Australian companies to form working partnerships with the Australian Government to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That’s a big plus for business and for all Australians.
The programme builds on the success of Greenhouse Challenge (established in 1995), integrating the Generator Efficiency Standards and the Greenhouse Friendly™ initiative into a single industry programme. The programme is managed by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.
