Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and helping our clients, joint venture partners and their communities do the same. Our strategy includes a clear pathway to achieve net zero carbon by 2050 or sooner, and we are taking practical steps to get there.

We are actively reducing energy use and waste, investing in cleaner vehicles and equipment, and taking steps to keep air, land, and water clean. Through sustainable procurement and a strong local supply chain, we are lowering our carbon footprint and supporting green growth. We collect and review detailed environmental data across our operations, helping us track our progress, share results transparently, and adapt where needed.

This work is not separate from service delivery, it’s integrated into how we operate every day.

Strong governance is the foundation of our work. As a publicly owned company, we are built on transparency, fairness, and accountability, with structures in place to ensure our decisions are clear, responsible, and aligned with the communities we serve.

Our joint venture model ensures councils play an active role in oversight and governance, and we communicate regularly and openly with our partners. We monitor and report on ESG performance using clear, measurable data across environmental, social, and financial metrics. This helps us stay accountable, support continuous improvement, and give stakeholders confidence that we are delivering ethical, sustainable, and long-term value.
