HOW WE’RE MINIMISING OUR IMPACT
Carbon Neutral Energy
Emissions associated with our energy use are tracked, and carbon offsets purchased by our energy provider to ensure we are carbon neutral.
Paper Usage
We minimise printing by using e-filing, setting printer defaults to double-sided, using recycled paper and recycling wastepaper.
Electricity Usage
We reduce usage through initiatives such as installing LED lights, switching off computers at night and using more energy-efficient open-plan workspaces.
Water
We aim to reduce consumption by regularly checking for leaks, installing flow restrictors, converting to dual-flush bathrooms and making staff water-wise.
Building Performance
We’re committed to improving the environmental performance of our building by measuring its impact and creating a plan on how to improve it over time.
Transportation
Private transport is one of the world’s biggest sources of greenhouse gases. We encourage our team to walk, bike, use public transport or carpool to work.
