Why your business needs a sustainability baseline—and how our free tool helps you find it.
Hi, I’m Leonie—founder of The SustainableLedger, where sustainability meets strategy.
If you’ve ever asked:
“Where do we even start with sustainability?”
“Are we doing enough?”
“Is there a simple way to track and improve our impact?”
You’re not alone. Most business owners want to do better—but without a clear starting point, it’s easy to feel stuck.
That’s why we created the Sustainability Snapshot—a free, practical tool designed to help Australian businesses take the first step.
📥What is the Sustainability Snapshot?
The Sustainability Snapshot is a simple self-assessment that helps you evaluate your sustainability performance across six key areas:
Energy & Emissions
Waste & Circular Economy
Water & Resource Use
Sustainable Procurement
Social & Community Impact
Governance & Transparency
Whether you're a sole trader, a growing SME, or a values-led team looking to lead by example, this tool helps you:
Identify your strengths
Spot gaps and inefficiencies
Set priorities that align with your mission and resources
No certifications. No jargon. Just clear prompts and actionable insights.
