One of Australia's most successful technology companies wants to "set an example" by shifting to 100 per cent renewable energy sources for its electricity and cracking down on energy waste.

The move to clean energy for all its power by 2025 would make Atlassian among the first Australian firms to hit such a mark.

Its office in Mountain View, California is powered by renewables, while Atlassian's nine other sites across seven nations will achieve the goal progressively using energy certificates and possibly power purchase agreements that would underwrite a wind or solar farm where other options are not available.

"Being a large and known tech company, we want to make sure we're driving the Australian angle of [renewables] forward ...and we're trying to do it relatively fast," Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian's co-founder, told the Herald.
