Taking real climate action as an organisation means voluntarily going above and beyond current regulations to achieve net zero carbon emissions.
At Feltex Carpets, we do. Feltex Australia has achieved Climate Active Carbon Neutral organisation status and are proud to be the first Australian carpet manufacturer to do so. Furthermore, Feltex New Zealand is also now a carbon neutral organisation.[1]
By working with leading international organisations like South Pole to acquire carbon offsets from validated projects, both our Australian and New Zealand organisations are now carbon neutral.[1] Feltex Australia first achieved Climate Active carbon neutral organisation status in 2020 and was the first Australian carpet manufacturer to do so. In New Zealand, Feltex New Zealand’s Auckland carpet tufting and distribution facilities have been carbon neutral since 2019, and today in 2023 Feltex New Zealand has acquired carbon offsets for emissions from all of its facilities to also become a carbon neutral organisation. But our efforts continue. We’re also committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency projects and use of renewable power sources like solar.

[1] Feltex Carpets Pty Ltd is a subsidiary of Godfrey Hirst Australia Pty Ltd, which is a ‘carbon neutral’ organisation. This means that each year that entity purchases and voluntarily surrenders carbon offsets equivalent to its annual carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from sources within its organisational boundary. For New Zealand, organisational GHG emissions are accounted for in accordance with ISO14064-3:2018. For Australia, organisational GHG emissions are accounted for, and carbon neutral status is certified, in accordance with the requirements of Climate Active.
