GECA is thrilled to be one of over 41 leading companies to have joined forces with the NSW Government and WWF-Australia in a new coalition to decarbonise Australia’s building and construction industry.

As a world-leading ecolabel focused on sustainable production and consumption, we know how crucial it is to tackle embodied and operational carbon in manufacturing, based on a life cycle approach. That’s why we are pleased to announce our support of WWF-Australia in calling for more action under a renewable recovery as we start to rebuild from COVID-19.

The world has experienced a public health emergency that has brought with it acute economic impacts. As Australia responds to the crisis, there is a growing consensus that energy efficiency has a crucial role in the economic recovery and in providing long-term social, economic and environmental benefits. GECA is proud to be a supporting partner for a National Summit on 1 July 2020: Energy Efficiency and Australia’s Economic Recovery.

On 8 March, GECA attended IKEA Australia's panel discussion on ‘Powering the Future of Delivery’. During the event, IKEA announced its commitment to use only electric vehicles for all of its operations and services by 2025, with the roll out starting immediately.

GECA licensee Shaw Contract Group, recently announced that all of their commercial carpet manufacturing facilities worldwide are now carbon neutral.
