The ‘Accelerating to Zero: SA ZERO’s Pathways for Collaboration’ report has been developed to provide a framework for SA ZERO to catalyse action while also enabling South Australian businesses and organisations, large and small, to take proactive and targeted steps towards zero carbon and zero waste.
The report considers the challenges and opportunities ahead and sets out six clear pathways for collaboration to accelerate South Australia’s Net Zero journey:
- Green Skills & Capacity Building
- Technology, Innovation & Scalability
- Policy Development & Engagement
- Reporting Standards & Requirements
- Access to Financial Resources; and
- Accurate, Timely & Meaningful data

“The pathways are designed to assist South Australian businesses, organisations and community groups to identify meaningful and measurable steps that can be progressed through cooperation, and at the right speed and scale required, to ensure SA meets its Net Zero goals while embracing new avenues of economic prosperity,” says Sam Dighton, CEO of Committee for Adelaide.
“Done right, and with continued ambition and collaboration, South Australia is well positioned to meet its decarbonisation goals and herald in a new era of environmental stewardship and economic prosperity for the state.”
The ‘Accelerating to Zero’ Report was developed with contribution from Adelaide-based ESG and energy consulting firm, 2XE, and extensive engagement with SA ZERO facilitators and members.
“South Australia has long led the way in sustainability, and this next phase of action can be a real game-changer for the State’s economy. SA ZERO members have seen the value that collaboration can bring and are asking the big question ‘what is next?’, says Nick Palousis, 2XE Managing Director.
“2XE is proud to have played its part in shaping SA ZERO’s agenda for collaboration, , and we encourage more South Australian organisations to get involved.”
Launched in 2023, SA ZERO is a landmark South Australian collaboration that brings together business, government and academia to help accelerate the state’s journey to zero-carbon and zero-waste.
Members of SA Zero include BHP, City of Adelaide, CSIRO, Flinders Port Holdings, Flinders University, University of Adelaide and RAA, each shaping the agenda, focus and outcomes of the Australian-first collaboration.
