Reducing our environmental footprint

85% reduction in carbon emissions

Our target is to, not only reduce our combined scope 1 and 2 emissions by 85% by 2025, but to extend our commitment to a further reduction to 90% by 2030 (against a 2015 base year). We aim to achieve these targets through the efficient consumption of energy within our buildings, including commercial offices, retail branches and data centres. 

100% renewable electricity

In September 2019 we signed up to RE100, a global initiative driving the transition to 100% renewable electricity.

40% reduction in water consumption*

As an Australian headquartered company, we are aware of the risks associated with drought and water scarcity. We focus on best practice in the design and operation of our commercial and retail facilities by installing eco-efficient water fittings such as low flow aerators on taps and dual flush toilets in our premises.

40% reduction in waste to landfill*

We're seeking to minimise the amount of waste generated and reuse or recycle as much as possible. We'll achieve our target through a reduction in paper consumption and encouraging employees to recycle (e.g. donating used furniture and equipment to local organisations).

70% reduction in paper consumption*

We're committed to minimising paper use in our offices and materials generated for our customers (e.g. statements and marketing materials).  We'll achieve this through a number of initiatives, including encouraging customers to receive electronic communications and improving employee awareness of printing behaviours.
