Sustainability

‘In our quest to create a fairer Australia for all, we will be responsible custodians of our environment’.

Our achievements

In 2007-2008 we:
  • Integrated sustainability into our organisational strategy and established a sustainability steering group to identify and coordinate initiatives
  • Rolled out a sustainability pilot program in Queensland
  • Made a commitment to measure our national environmental footprint and address gaps in data measurement
  • Commenced regular communications with staff on sustainability and identified local sustainability champions
  • Supported Earth Hour.

Looking ahead: our goals for the next 12 months:

  • Adopt and implement an organisation-wide sustainability action plan
  • Establish our environmental footprint and set reduction targets
  • Integrate sustainability principles and initiatives across Mission Australia sites

2005 Queensland Pilot Project

In 2005, three Mission Australia services, located in Queensland, participated in a pilot project producing a foundation set of sustainability accounts examining their social and environmental performance.
