Austep

While the world faces serious challenges ranging from poverty to climate change, business can be a powerful tool to help. Despite the enormity of environmental and social issues, humans have repeatedly achieved the "impossible" before; just imagine telling someone 300 years ago about electric light. Solutions won't just happen though, we have to get to work. We are a Queensland based Social Enterprise with a national footprint, carbon neutral operations, access to grants and funding, and a strong focus on quality and expertise. Founded in 2015, Austep is a B Corp certified Social Enterprise using business as a tool to positively impact people, profit, places and planet. We design and install energy efficiency upgrades in commercial buildings, to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions, while donating 50% of profits to charity. As an experienced Energy Services Company (ESCO), Austep is a specialist energy efficiency consultant and turnkey project manager, helping organisations improve their positive impact and increase profitability. Our friendly and trusted team includes a licensed builder, architect, lighting designers, and mechanical engineers, with accreditations in carbon, energy, sustainability, refrigeration, project management, energy auditing, energy management, NABERS, and more - enabling us to audit, design and lead comprehensive Integrated Commercial Building EnergyRetrofits (IBERs). Built on a foundation of partnerships, positive impact, and expertise, we reduce the lifecycle costs of energy use in buildings, while improving light quality, thermal comfort, and occupant wellbeing. If you are an executive with financial targets, a site manager who makes the place run, or a sustainability manager with a net zero target, we know you are busy. We make it easy, and profitable, for you to reduce emissions, reduce your energy bills, and increase your positive impact.
