COzero is committed to ensuring that our processes and purchases are subject to a high level of transparency. We conduct quarterly and annual audits of all our purchases, and are subject to strict reporting criteria as set by the National GreenPower Accreditation Program Steering Group. Our next reporting period ends on September 30, 2007, and our annual audit for 2007-2008 will be conducted at June 30, 2008. The results of this audit will be published here when available.
We also contribute 5% of our earnings to the Nature Conservation Council of NSW (NCC). As the state's peak environmental organisation since 1955, the NCC works closely with member groups, local communities, government and business to ensure a positive future for our environment. The NCC facilitates large-scale awareness and education campaigns, in addition to producing original research and publications.
As a guide, roughly 80 cents in every dollar goes directly to the project developers who reduce emissions around the globe, as mentioned in the 'Project Focus' section. The other 20 cents is distributed between operating costs, website development and distributions to non-Government and community groups such as the NCC.
