ESIA Code of Conduct

Rationale

The ESIA Code of Conduct aims to ensure high standards are met in the marketing and delivery of energy efficiency certificate creation and related services by ESIA Members to energy customers and other Members.

History

An ESIA Code of Conduct was developed and issued when the Association formed in 2013 and was signed by the founding members. Since the extension and expansion of schemes across Australia by late 2015, the Code is periodically updated in consultation with members and key stakeholders including regulators. The latest ratified update was published on 17 December 2020 and is supported by ESIA Best Practice Guidance documents.
