We’re tackling one of the least understood spaces in decarbonisation: carbon offsetting for businesses. Do we really need it to achieve net zero? We sit down with Kurt Winter from the Carbon Market Institute to discuss offsetting – the terminology that surrounds this space and, of course, its potential role in the path to net zero. We unpack the changing landscape of carbon credits, how you can stay on top of it all as a business and chart a path that will actually make a difference.

And is it possible to make the switch to solar panels without costing you a lot of money? Today we explore the transition to solar energy with Josh Bower from AGL.
