Brownee helps SMEs take action on sustainability, track progress and share results with confidence. It is designed for smaller and medium-sized businesses that want practical steps, not paperwork.
Brownee guides smaller and medium-sized organisations to take practical steps, measure progress and share results. It is designed for SMEs, with a simple path from beginner actions to measurable impact.
With Brownee you can:
ESG expectations are moving quickly in Australia. Large companies have begun climate-related reporting, and those requirements are flowing to suppliers, tenders and grants. If you sell into corporate or government supply chains, you will be asked for credible evidence. Getting ready now protects revenue and opens new doors.
Think of ESG like a new business credit check. You either have it and move forward, or you do not and miss opportunities. The work that builds ESG readiness is also what makes a business stronger: systems, policies and processes that add value today and at exit. Do not wait until you are forced. Get ahead.
We make Brownee work as part of your day-to-day operations.
You receive clear advice, practical systems, and support, so sustainability adds value. This is not just compliance. It is a smart strategy that helps you leapfrog competitors, build trust and grow enterprise value.
ESG expectations are spreading through supply chains, so early movers win work while others scramble.
We embed Brownee alongside finance, HR, operations and reporting tools so actions and evidence fit your normal workflow. That means less admin and more continuous improvement, your team can maintain.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. ESG reporting is how an organisation shares its policies, actions and results in these areas so others can assess performance.
From 2025, larger Australian entities begin publishing climate-related disclosures. Timelines phase in by size. Smaller suppliers will feel the flow-on through procurement and contracts.
Most SMEs are not required at first. Many will still be asked for ESG evidence by bigger customers, funders and government programs.
Expect questions from 2025 onward. If you sell to listed companies, major corporates or government, ESG information will appear in tender and renewal documents.
Australia aligns to local sustainability standards that draw on global frameworks. Many buyers also recognise familiar frameworks such as TCFD, GRI and SASB.
Annually is common. Many organisations also track key indicators quarterly to guide decisions and show progress.
Clear policies, procedures and data. Typical items include emissions estimates, safety and HR policies, community outcomes, governance records and improvement plans.
Buyers use ESG to assess risk and value. Clear policies and simple evidence help prove you are a safe, reliable supplier. It can lift your score on non-price criteria and help you stand out in close contests.
Focus on practical actions. Show how you reduce waste, support staff wellbeing, buy locally when possible and manage safety well. Provide simple metrics and a plan for the next 12 months. Credible, small steps beat vague promises.
It can do both. Good ESG builds credibility, reduces risk, improves operations and supports growth. It also speeds up approvals in tenders and partnerships.
Use real actions and verifiable data. Keep records, follow recognised frameworks and report consistently. Do not make claims you cannot support.
Some entities will move to mandatory assurance over time. Even if not required, better evidence and controls make reporting more reliable.
It depends on your starting point. Many SMEs can set policies, establish a baseline and prepare a simple pack within weeks, then improve over the year.
Use a practical platform to guide actions, track progress and create simple dashboards. Pair it with a short policy set, owner responsibilities and a monthly routi
Focus on what matters most. Include a short policy suite, baseline measures, two or three priority actions, owners and timelines, and a simple reporting calendar.
Start small. Write core policies. Set a baseline for key measures. Choose quick wins that reduce cost or risk. Create a one-page plan and begin. Consistency beats perfection.
Grants fund outcomes. ESG and impact sections help assess community benefit, risk and value for money. Strong answers show your project is responsible, achievable and aligned to the funder’s priorities.
Prepare a short impact statement, baseline measures and a plan to track results. Include governance arrangements, stakeholder support, risks and how you will manage them. Make sure your budget reflects these activities.
Choose a few clear indicators, set targets and assign owners. Capture data monthly and keep simple notes on activities and lessons. Provide a short dashboard and a narrative summary in each report so funders can see progress and value.

Eric and Trudi from SBAAS are absolute legends! They really know their stuff when it comes to helping businesses, and what I like most is that they're just really easy to deal with. No complicated jargon or fancy talk, just good, practical advice that actually makes sense. You can tell they genuinely care about the people they work with, and they're always happy to share their knowledge and help wherever they can. There's so much experience between the two of them, and they're just all-round good people who are always willing to lend a hand. The only downside is Eric's dad jokes. Unfortunately, the advice he gives is so valuable that you just have to put up with them! Both lovely people who really know what they're doing and would happily recommend them to anyone running a business. Five stars for Eric and Trudi. Can't say the same for his jokes...Posted on Google![]()

When I was looking to start my disability support business, I came across SBAAS and had the absolute pleasure of working with Eric and Trudi. They were genuinely so lovely from day one. They went above and beyond for me in every way and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! I always felt so supported and like I had people in my corner who actually cared about what I was trying to build. They were super easy to talk to, really patient and took the time to understand my vision and what I wanted my business to look like. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Even now, I still feel like I could reach out if I needed help or had questions and they’d be more than happy to help. I'm so grateful for them and everything they did to help me get started. Thank you Eric and Trudi!Posted on Google![]()

As a startup social enterprise, our team of three had never built a business together before, so having the support of Eric and Trudi Allgood from SBAAS has been invaluable. From business planning, policies and procedures through to bookkeeping support and strategic advice, they've helped us put the right foundations in place for sustainable growth. What we love most is that they don't just give advice—they keep us accountable and focused on moving forward. Many of the things we've struggled with as a new business were second nature to them, and their guidance has saved us countless hours, mistakes and headaches. As sponsors and supporters of our community art gallery, they've also been incredibly generous with their time and encouragement. It's clear they genuinely care about helping small businesses succeed. We're incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend SBAAS to any business owner looking for experienced advisors who truly have your best interests at heart.
