Ndevr today announced the appointment of Matt Drum to the position of Senior Environmental Consultant. Drum will be working in Ndevr’s newly established Environmental Consulting division assisting client companies with their compliance needs related to the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) legislative framework and minimising their reporting costs and future liabilities.
Drum comes to Ndevr with a wealth of experience in environmental reporting and consultancy. He was previously an Assistant Director within the Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Office of the Department of Climate Change and played a key role in developing the NGER Regulations 2008; subsequently writing the NGER Guidelines.
In addition, Drum has experience consulting with industry while in government and assisted in developing sector-specific reporting methodologies via member groups such as the Australian Constructor’s Association, the Property Council of Australia, the National Generator’s Forum and the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association. Likewise, he worked closely with the teams drafting the proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme legislation, and gave a voice to the practical concerns of industry groups from various sectors.
“Matt has a rare combination of legislative knowledge and consulting skills specific to environmental compliance and reporting which makes him a very welcome addition to the Ndevr team,” commented Maureen Clifford, CEO of Ndevr.
“His intimate knowledge of the NGER regulatory office, personnel, policies, and legislation (including policy intent) mean he is well placed to provide advisory services to companies seeking to measure and manage their environmental footprint. Matt will be an invaluable resource to Ndevr’s clients wanting assurance and aiming to improve their compliance while reducing the costs associated with environmental reporting.”
Drum also has an intimate knowledge of the Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) program and how this links with NGER requirements. He is well versed in the intricacies and requirements of voluntary reporting schemes such as the Carbon Disclosure Project and Dow Jones Sustainability Index and various other International schemes.
