We’ve made a commitment to achieve 45% reduction in our operational emissions by 2030. These are the emissions produced as part of running the corporate entity, not by the companies we invest in.
We are continuously improving and implementing our emissions reduction strategy, and as part of that, we have now successfully shifted all offices under our operational control to complete clean (renewable) power.
As we prepare for reporting against the latest Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), we remain committed to maintaining transparency, accuracy and integrity in our emissions reporting.
