Protecting our environment
We have adopted a range of sustainability principles and practices that contribute to a healthier planet.
Energy
We’ve cut our power usage by 35% since 2014 – which we have maintained since despite our strong growth.
LED and natural lighting in all storage complexes
Six-star energy rating in our document scanning centre
Temperature controls in our high security storages
All-site energy management systems
Water
Conscious of the planet’s finite resources, we’re committed to saving our precious water supplies.
We harvest and store rainwater
10 of our interlinked storage warehouses capture rainfall – and provide 80% of our operational needs
Waste
Our business initiatives are eliminating unnecessary paperwork in workplaces across Australia.
We’ve recycled over 400 tonnes of shredded paper into new products
We recycle 5,000+ cardboard boxes annually or donate them to worthy causes
We are constantly developing streamlined business systems that eliminate paper, deliver efficiencies and save costs
