Cooper gets climate active carbon neutral certification
Sydney-listed Cooper Energy has been officially recognised as Australia’s first carbon neutral domestic gas producer, having been awarded Climate Active carbon neutral certification, it said on June 24.
Climate Active is a partnership between the Australian government and businesses to drive voluntary climate action. It certifies businesses that have achieved net zero carbon emissions.

Through the certification process, Cooper’s carbon neutral claim was independently audited to ensure it meets the requirements of the Climate Active carbon neutral standard.
“We are proud to be responsibly contributing to the community’s need for sustainable, reliable low-carbon energy by acting voluntarily and early to completely offset our carbon emissions,” Cooper's managing director David Maxwell said. “Becoming carbon neutral was the first step for Cooper Energy. We will continue to target opportunities to further cut emissions.”
Maxwell said that the company's goal is to continue to fully offset scope 1, scope 2 and controllable scope 3 carbon emissions. “The next step is working on partnerships with our customers to support their emissions reduction strategies to address the broader scope 3 emissions challenge,” Maxwell added.
