Introduction
As momentum toward net‑zero accelerates, businesses are facing stronger expectations from government, investors and customers to demonstrate real progress on emissions reduction. National and state policies—including the Safeguard Mechanism, Climate‑Related Financial Disclosures and Queensland’s net‑zero by 2050 target—mean decarbonisation is now both an environmental responsibility and an economic necessity.
Across the Greater Whitsunday region, sustainability performance increasingly shapes competitiveness and access to supply‑chain opportunities. The Decarbonisation Accelerated project, delivered by GW3 and funded by the Local Buying Foundation, has been supporting this transition since 2023.
This survey is the third annual benchmark, helping track changes in awareness, readiness and action across local businesses. Your responses will provide valuable insight into emerging needs, challenges and opportunities as decarbonisation becomes central to long‑term regional growth.
