Environment

Jemena can point to an excellent environmental management record across its business.

The directors and managers of Jemena recognise their moral and legal liability to comply with all applicable environmental legislation. This commitment extends to ensuring that the organisation's operations do not place the environment at risk. We have an in-house team of environment professionals to advise and support the business.

Jemena proactively identifies the environmental aspects associated with its business activities and implements measures to continually improve its environmental performance. With the continued expansion of Jemena's business, the environmental management system will continue to expand and evolve to ensure best practice environmental performance is maintained for all current and future Jemena activities.

Throughout the year, programmes that educate and train employees in environmental matters promote an organisational culture that supports and promotes environmental responsibility. Jemena also participates in voluntary initiatives that aim to enhance environmental performance across industries and the general community. The Company is a signatory to the Australian Greenhouse Challenge.

Jemena embraces environmental management principles by maintaining compliance to the International standard ISO 14001 for proactive planning, sustainable development and continuous improvement. Jemena has made a commitment, through our Environmental Policy, to improve our environmental performance. Infrastructure, systems, committees and materials are used to manage the operational elements of environmental improvement.
