Workfast is committed to integrating sustainability into all aspects of our business operations. Our approach to sustainability encompasses environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and sound governance, ensuring we create long-term value for our stakeholders, foster competitive advantage, and contribute positively to the wellbeing of our employees, communities, and ecosystems.
This Sustainability Policy applies to all Workfast employees, contractors, and operations across all jurisdictions. It should be read in conjunction with related policies, including the Code of Conduct, Procurement, Environment, Health and Safety, and Diversity and Inclusion policies.
The objectives of this Sustainability Policy are to:
- Manage Risks and Opportunities: identify, assess, and manage sustainability risks and opportunities to enhance business performance and support the long-term interests of Workfast and its stakeholders.
- Promote Accountability and Capability: foster a culture of accountability for sustainable outcomes and continually improve the sustainability knowledge and skills of our employees.
- Operate Responsibly at Our Sites: assess the environmental impact of Workfast-controlled activities and implement controls to minimise disturbance at our worksites.
- Resource Efficiency and Waste Management: prioritise responsible resource consumption and effective waste management to reduce our environmental footprint.
- Reduce Emissions: reduce emissions where practicable through pollution prevention measures and resource conservation, and support credible offset initiatives such as Greenfleet where appropriate.
- Responsible Sourcing and Innovation: integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations into our procurement and operational processes, and seek opportunities to collaborate with our supply chain to drive innovation and mutual value.
- Drive Project Excellence: pursue continual innovation and efficiency in project delivery, and support the adoption of industry standards and rating schemes that advance sustainability outcomes for our clients.
- Deliver Positive Legacies: deliver projects that meet client expectations, provide value for money, and leave positive legacies for Workfast, our clients, end users, the environment, and communities.
- Enhance Climate Resilience: strengthen Workfast’s resilience to the impacts of climate change through proactive planning and adaptation, having regard to Australia’s climate-related financial reporting requirements where applicable.
Workfast is committed to upholding these objectives and will regularly review and update this policy to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. Sustainability claims made on behalf of Workfast will be accurate and evidence-based. Breaches of this policy may result in disciplinary action.
