The original developers of the Trellis software, previously called Balance Carbon, have been at the forefront of the new low carbon economy in Australia since being founded in 2008. The company helped many of Australia's leading corporations by providing audit and advisory services during a time of emerging and dynamic policy, standards and legislation. Trellis' values align with Carbon Neutral Adelaide's focus on an economy and society that increasingly embraces the true costs of using resources and generating waste. Trellis fully supports Carbon Neutral Adelaide's aspiration for an engaged society, more inclusive economy and new carbon neutral minimum standard for how cities can operate.
