Practical Sustainability

Practical Sustainability

Zinfra is committed to supporting its people, the community and the environment while continuing to responsibly grow our business. We do this by taking a holistic approach to sustainability which focuses on all three elements that ensure sustainable outcomes; environmental, social and governance (ESG). These three areas include many more targeted elements such as health and safety of our workers, diversity and inclusion, minimising environmental impacts i.e. reducing waste generation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable procurement and supporting the community while maintaining a profitable business. An overarching Group ESG Plan identifies areas of focus while our Environmental and Sustainability Policy sets out our guiding principles.

Our Sustainability Reports outline our activities and achievements for that year, including:

  • the support we provided to the people and communities where we operate,

  • how we’re contributing to a low-carbon future and protecting our environment, and

  • the safety and wellbeing of our people and our diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Climate Transition Plan 2025

Australia’s energy sector is changing as the country transitions to a net-zero energy system.

As a leading provider of services to energy asset owners and operators, we’ve been thinking how we will have to change too. Today we’re pleased to share our Climate Transition Plan 2025, which outlines our plan between now and 2030 to reduce emissions and contribute to the energy transition.

The energy transition will require unprecedented investment. For Zinfra, we see this as an opportunity for us to grow our business, as we support the development of Australia’s burgeoning renewable energy sector. We also see great opportunity in the energy sector for our people, and those looking to enter the industry as we continue to invest in development and training across our workforce, including hands-on experience in delivering renewable energy projects.

Protection of People and the Environment

Zinfra’s certified HSEQ Management System supports the protection of people and the environment. The system is certified to AS 4801 OH&S Management, ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 9001 Quality Management. These management systems encourage a continuous improvement cycle that maintains an internal drive to always seek improvements. This drive for continuous improvement has led to a first in the utility industry where an elevated work platform (EWP) is being retrofitted with an electric engine. Expected to be joining the fleet in 2020, this vehicle will achieve both social and environmental benefits; reduced greenhouse gas emissions which is beneficial for both the environment and employees that are required to work near the vehicle while the engine is running, and reduced noise while operating, which is valuable for our employees and the communities they work in (especially in emergency situations late at night).

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which we operate and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
