Environment

As a business we are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and have in place a number of initiatives and ambitious targets in place which allow us to manage this process.

  • Waste recycling and energy from waste, working with our regional waste partners. Approximately 80% of our waste is being recycled, and 5% sent to energy generation.
  • Waste reduction, recycled content, and certified timber, working with our in-house and novated design teams, and our supply chain partners
  • Electricity, fuel, and water consumption reduction and monitoring, working with our consultants and supply chain partners
  • Biodiversity surveys, and protection and enhancement actions
