Discover how we're changing the game together!
When we came across ERC – a Tassie-owned & operated solution – it ticked all the boxes for us. Our members tell us they love how easy it is to progress through the self-guided program, with many having made it to the advanced stage within the space of a single afternoon.
As an industry body with active members on the ERC platform, we find it incredibly easy to oversee their progress and we can pull large amounts of usable data & reports from the system in just the click of a button. The ERC team has also been incredibly receptive to our feedback and requests for customised solutions.
ERC is a great solution if you are seeking to connect industry members to a program that sets them on a path towards carbon neutrality and beyond.
