Walking the Talk

To guide our actions and help Sustainability Victoria achieve sustainable outcomes within our own operations, we have an Environment Management System (EMS).

An EMS is a tool for managing the impacts of activities on the environment. It provides a structured approach to planning and implementing environment protection measures.

Our Environment Management System

We will endeavour to continually reduce our ecological footprint by:

  • minimising the production of greenhouse gases through efficient practices of energy usage in the office environment, commuting and use of vehicles
  • offsetting all residual greenhouse gas emissions to achieve a carbon neutral organisation
  • purchasing with waste avoidance, closing the recycling loop with reduction of environmental impacts in mind
  • striving towards zero waste to landfill through waste reduction, reuse and recycling
  • minimising the use of water
  • engaging with suppliers and stakeholders to reduce the lifecycle impacts of our operations and products
  • training and supporting staff to work within the EMS and achieve the desired outcomes.
