Achieving Environmental Excellence
Protecting our natural environment is material to us and is increasingly expected by our stakeholders and society. This sustainability pillar focuses on how we deliver positive environmental outcomes and support our value chain to do the same.
Our approach
-
Decarbonising our operations
Our strategy to reduce energy-related emissions involves shrinking our direct footprint, increasing our use of renewable energy systems and making sure that emissions that cannot yet be eliminated are managed responsibly. We also continue to invest in technologies such as cogeneration and waste heat recovery that support long-term emissions reductions.
-
Reducing our water footprint
At the core of our water management strategy is a commitment to reduce water intensity while enhancing recovery, recycling and reuse. We also ensure that water discharged from any facility supports rather than harms the surrounding natural environment.
-
Effective waste management
Our waste management strategy is guided by the hierarchy of waste management, which prioritises prevention, reuse, recycling and repair, with disposal as a last resort.
Our environmental targets
Water
To reduce our water footprint by decreasing consumption by 30% to support resilient operations, communities and the environment.
* Versus baseline fiscal year 2019-2020
Waste
To achieve progress towards 100% waste recovery to eliminate landfill, strengthen circularity and make better use of resources across our operations.
Backed by science
Our climate targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), one of the world’s most trusted climate standards for business. The SBTi helps companies set greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets that are aligned with the latest climate science and the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets were validated in 2025 at the SBTi’s highest level of ambition.
