We maximise the sustainability of our operations
The Licence to Operate (LTO) Framework is now in its eighth year delivering a portfolio of projects designed to continuously improve the management of our social, economic and environmental impacts.
During 2023, Port Waratah undertook 40 improvement projects, including seven projects carried over from 2022 due to delays in resourcing the previous year. We completed 30 of the projects, with one placed on hold. Nine were rescheduled for 2024.
Port Waratah recorded four reportable incidents in 2023. This result did not achieve our target to record no more than three reportable environmental incidents across our operations within the year. Additional measures have been implemented to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents.
Key Achievements
- Achieved our highest recorded annual landfill diversion rate of 95.3%.
- Increased the Community Investment and Partnership Programme to $850,000 and introduced Partnerships for Reconciliation priority area.
Environment
We aim to perform our activities in a manner which prevents pollution, promotes sustainability and minimises impacts on the environment and the local community. Our commitment to continuously improving our environmental performance over the long term sees us focus on five key areas – air quality, noise, water, waste, environmental footprint and climate.
Relationships, social
impacts and contributions
Understanding our stakeholders’ expectations and delivering value back to the community are key business priorities for Port Waratah. We’re committed to contributing to the prosperity of Newcastle and the Hunter Region, and Awabakal and Worimi Country, the lands on which we operate.
