CR2 blends Integrated Sustainable Design (ISD) with cost-to-business economics for the best return on investment.

It's a smarter way forward.

For many businesses, the pressure to decarbonise is growing, but the path forward is anything but clear. Utility costs are skyrocketing. Energy prices alone have surged by up to 91% in the past five years, while waste and transport costs are climbing steadily. At the same time, environmental reporting standards like Climate Related Financial Disclosure (CRFD) are becoming mandatory, leaving many organisations unprepared. They are struggling with outdated facilities, no clear carbon baseline, and limited in-house expertise to address it. That's where CR2 Advisory comes in. Our team brings together over 100 years of collective experience in whole-of-life, whole-of-enterprise engineering, infrastructure, climate risk, and project delivery. We've worked across complex environments from large scale transport and logistics infrastructure, industrial and residential built form, inner-city warehousing to food and agricultural processing facilities and major developments, to deliver real operational savings and measurable carbon reductions.
Our integrated, science-backed approach can typically help clients achieve:
  • Up to 50% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions
  • Up to 30% drop in operational expenses
  • Up to 50% cut in energy consumption
And up to 20% lower capital costs on planned upgrades
We do more than write reports.
We build roadmaps with ranked, auditable work packages that prioritise return on investment, resilience, and regulatory compliance. Our clients walk away with clear strategies, supported by engineering analysis, ready-to-implement improvements, and access to renewable energy procurement or verified offsets. CR2 helps exploit natural capital resources leveraging sustainable technologies to build climate resilience
Whether you're trying to reduce emissions, lower costs, or meet ESG obligations, CR2 helps you get there. Efficiently, economically, and transparently.
