Advance is Carbon Neutral!

A recent Public & Charitable Network event was held in New York City - A Very Sunburnt Country: Australians on Climate Change. Advance aimed to make this event our first carbon neutral offering, and thanks to the donations of many of the evenings attendees we were not only able to achieve this, but also offset the carbon dioxide emissions of the Advance office for over six months. To learn more about this, please visit the TerraPass website and read the event report.
