People
We will enable our people to make sustainable choices at home and at work.
Improve employee health & nutrition
Global target :
Our Lamplighter employee programme aims to improve the nutrition, fitness and mental resilience of employees. It has already been implemented in 30 countries. In 2011 we will extend its reach to a further 8 countries. Our long term aim is to extend the reach to all countries where we operate.
Australia & NZ Focus
Our Lamplighter program, which was piloted in 2008, is now being extended to cover all sites and all employees and will include general health assessments, as well as additional elements such as skin cancer checks, heart health checks, flu vaccinations massages and work-life balance advice.
Reduce energy consumption in our office
Global target :
By 2020 we will halve the energy (kWh) purchased per occupant for the offices in our top 21 countries versus 2010.
Australia & NZ Focus
We’ve reduced energy use in our Epping Head Office by 5.8% year on year through the installation of blinds to manage heat and cooling levels in office, changing to more efficient lighting (delivering a 45% power usage saving), updating our air-conditioning system controls and installing a building management system. We continue to investigate a range of ways to reduce our office energy consumption including upgrading lighting sensor capabilities, investigating solar power options and employee education.
Reduce office waste & increase sustainable sourcing of office materials
Global target :
At least 90% of our office waste will be reused, recycled or recovered by 2015 with zero waste sent to landfill by 2017. We will reduce paper consumption per head by 30% and source all paper-based office materials from either certified sustainable forests or recycled sources by 2013.
Australia & NZ Focus
To mark Earth Hour in March 2011 we launched a new segregated recycling system at our Epping Head Office which reduced waste sent to landfill by 60% and we continue to run employee education programs on waste reduction.
All printers have been switched to double-sided where possible to reduce paper printing by 25% and “remember not to print” messaging will be included on all emails. All paper for our offices will be 100% recycled in 2011.
