About us
Sustainability
Sustainability at REMONDIS
We have only one planet with limited resources – but we have thousands of employees with unlimited effort.
As a local and global leader in resource recovery, we have a unique opportunity to act: our recycling activities enable valuable raw materials to be recovered and returned to production cycles. But our commitment to sustainability does not stop there. Whether we are planning the routes our trucks take or reviewing the energy consumption in our facilities – we do everything in our power to protect the environment, prevent climate change and reduce our carbon footprint.
REMONDIS Australia's sustainability strategy anchors our ambitions to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, recognising our responsibilities as an employer, as a consumer and as a global leader in resource management.
Our Sustainability Report 2022 documents REMONDIS Australia’s progress in achieving the targets we set ourselves for the environment, corporate governance and social spheres in 2022, building on these to define our objectives and targets for 2023.
We achieved the majority of the targets we set ourselves, including the following highlights:
We have set a range of ambitious targets for 2023, including – but by no means limited to – the following:
REMONDIS prefers to work with suppliers who share our values. We align our sustainability objectives and targets to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and set ambitious goals across the Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance categories of our sustainability strategy. Our Sustainable Supplier Guide is designed to help current and potential suppliers understand what is important to us.
Our approach to setting our Sustainability Objectives & Targets is guided by the United Nations Global Compact, which recommends a prioritisation principle for reporting against the United Nations’ Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
