Sustainability
Sustainability is central to our pioneering spirit, driving us to integrate ESG considerations into our daily decision-making for a brighter future.
RTL's Commitment to Sustainability:
A Thiess ESG & Sustainability Framework
Aligned with Thiess’s ESG commitments, RTL is dedicated to a comprehensive sustainability approach.
Our commitment is structured around key material topics outlined in the Sustainability Framework.
These encompass crucial aspects that not only reflect our dedication to environmental, social, and governance principles but also contribute substantially to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We recognise the interconnectedness of our activities with broader global sustainability objectives. We are actively engaged in mapping our efforts to the framework topics, ensuring transparency and accountability.
This strategic alignment underscores our pledge to responsible, ethical, and sustainable business practices.
Making Impact a Priority, Not Just a Consideration
As we move forward, our pledge to sustainability remains resolute. We continue to proactively seek opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint, promote sustainable supply chain outcomes, engage positively with local communities, and lead in Indigenous engagement. Our dedication to sustainability is not just a commitment – it's a core principle that guides every aspect of our operations.
At RTL, our commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in our corporate ethos. We recognise the profound impact our industry can have on the environment and local communities, and we are dedicated to minimising that impact through responsible and environmentally conscious practices.
Throughout our extensive portfolio of past projects, we have consistently demonstrated our commitment to sustainable development. One notable example is our pivotal role in the $1 billion Victorian Desalination Project, where we not only undertook all earthworks and civil services but also implemented stringent environmental standards. This included efficient resource utilisation, waste minimisation, and robust rehabilitation practices.
In everyday practice. It's a priority.
In the diversion of the Morwell River on two separate occasions, we showcased our dedication to sustainable practices by integrating environmental considerations into every phase of the project. From the initial planning stages to execution, we prioritised responsible operations and engaged in rehabilitation works that aligned with our commitment to promoting environmental stewardship.
Furthermore, our involvement in the Princess Highway duplication east section, Strzelecki Highway upgrade, and other landmark projects reflects our unwavering focus on sustainability. These initiatives have consistently involved the implementation of innovative technologies, adherence to environmental regulations, and a commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive, and secure work culture.
As we move forward, our pledge to sustainability remains resolute. We continue to proactively seek opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint, promote sustainable supply chain outcomes, engage positively with local communities, and lead in Indigenous engagement. Our dedication to sustainability is not just a commitment – it’s a core principle that guides every aspect of our operations.
