Carbon made simple for Queensland SMEs and agribusinesses
Aethiro helps regional Queensland businesses measure, understand, and explain their emissions, so you can stay in tenders, respond to Scope 3 data requests, and get ready for AASB S2 without the big‑four price tag.
Who we work with
Regional operators in real‑world supply chains
We specialise in helping regional Queensland organisations that sit inside bigger value chains, where customers, lenders, or regulators are asking for credible carbon data, often for the first time.
How we help
From "no idea where to start" to tender‑ready carbon data
Most clients come to Aethiro with scattered spreadsheets, fuel receipts and power bills, not a polished carbon inventory. We turn what you already have into a defensible baseline, then build simple processes so you can keep it up‑to‑date without hiring a sustainability team.
- Plain‑English explanation of Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions for your business
- GHG Protocol and NGA factor aligned calculations you can share with customers
- Outputs packaged to drop straight into tenders and supplier questionnaires
- Clear, prioritised opportunities to cut emissions and operating costs
Typical 90‑day journey

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do we need a carbon footprint before we can respond to tenders?
Not always, but you do need credible numbers based on recognised methods. Aethiro's Tender‑Ready Carbon Snapshot™ gives you defensible data for most pre‑qual and EOI requirements, even if you are not ready for a full inventory.
What if our data is messy or incomplete?
That is normal. We start with whatever you have, fuel receipts, electricity bills, freight invoices, and make reasonable, transparent assumptions where gaps exist, clearly documented for future improvement.
Can you help us get ready for AASB S2?
Yes. We map your current disclosures and data to AASB S2 requirements, identify gaps, and prioritise practical steps, starting with emissions data and climate risk information your business can realistically produce.
Do you work only in Gladstone?
No. We primarily serve Gladstone, Rockhampton, Isaac, Mackay and surrounding regions, and can support clients across Queensland and regional Australia remotely.
