Our Sustainability Outcomes

Sustainability is the commitment to ‘creating lasting benefits through an integrated consideration of social, environmental and economic aspects in all that we do’.

For us, it really means meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of future generations. We rely on strong support services to ensure our projects, operations and management of the road network are undertaken in a safe, reliable and sustainable way. To achieve this, our key focus is on: undertaking exemplary environmental management practices; improving customer experience; engaging our stakeholders; and investing in the safety, health and wellbeing of our employees.

This scorecard provides a snapshot of how well we performed against our key outcomes in this area and complements other information in the report.
