advisory statement

ESG360 is delivering a large-scale reforestation carbon project in the New England region of New South Wales. Spanning over 190 hectares on a working family farm, this project is part of WWF-Australia’s Koala Friendly Carbon initiative, which combines high-integrity carbon sequestration Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCU) with vital habitat restoration for Australia’s endangered koala populations.

Working alongside WWF, Climate Friendly and a dedicated local farming family, ESG360 is providing end-to-end delivery — from site evaluation to planting and long-term maintenance. Our approach draws on more than three decades of national experience by ESG360 personnel in delivering carbon plantings across Australia.

The project is registered with the Clean Energy Regulator and designed to generate ACCUs under a certified methodology.

Our tailored site preparation uses evidence-based, proven techniques to maximise survival rates and long-term ecological resilience. ESG360 have worked with its long term silvicultural delivery partners to ensure best-practice implementation from day one.

This initiative delivers:

  • A diversified and sustainable income stream for the landholder;
  • Critical landscape-scale regeneration outcomes for wildlife;
  • A replicable model of how carbon markets can enable high-impact conservation.
