What Carbonhalo does

Carbonhalo, operating as a trade name of Australian Carbon Reduction Collective Pty Ltd (ACN 658 614 058, registered in Tasmania), is an Australian climate-compliance technology and services firm that delivers AASB S2 and IFRS S2 mandatory climate disclosures for Australian entities required to report under the Treasury Laws Amendment Act 2024. The company combines a proprietary SaaS platform (platform.carbonhalo.com) — providing GHG inventory dashboards across Scope 1, 2, and 3 using ISSB-aligned, ISO 14064-1, and GHG Protocol methodologies — with expert-led advisory services structured around two BCAP (Business Climate Action Program) tiers: Fast Track for immediate first-year Group 1 reporters and Pathway for Groups 2 and 3 on a 2-3 year capability-building roadmap. It also offers a free BCAP+ program for non-regulated SMEs and an I-CAP (Industry Climate Action Program) for industry associations that wish to deploy emissions programs to their members.

Revenue is generated through monthly platform subscriptions with no lock-in contracts, fixed-price multi-year BCAP Pathway subscriptions, fixed-monthly BCAP Fast Track fees (marketed at less than 50% of comparable consulting offers), and professional advisory engagements layered on top of the platform as tech-enabled services. Pricing is positioned below traditional Big Four consulting, with case-study savings of $70-120k per customer and quotes delivered within 45 minutes. Customer segments span mandatory-reporting entities (Group 1 >$500M revenue, Group 2 >$200M, Group 3 >$50M), first-time reporters, and industry associations; named customers and case studies skew toward Australian tourism, hospitality, wine, caravan, and SME cohorts, with 200+ businesses served across Hobart, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.

Distribution is channel-led: Carbonhalo operates direct enterprise sales, a self-serve platform subscription, and a partner channel anchored by strategic alliances with KPMG and Pitcher Partners for advisory referrals, plus GTM partnerships with industry associations including Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Tasmania Tourism Industry Council, Australian Tourism Industry Council, Caravan Industry Association of Australia, Wines of Western Australia, and Brisbane Economic Development Agency. The company is led by founder David Irvine, has a disclosed headcount of 1-10, and has raised no external institutional capital based on the input data.
