Reducing our energy use

DKHAC solar panels

We have improved the energy efficiency of our operations and buildings. We now save over $1 million a year in electricity costs alone.

We also reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 68 per cent from 2000 to 2020. Most of this reduction was through actions taken at McRobies Gully Waste Management Centre (The Tip) to reduce landfill gas emissions.

We have committed to a further reduction target of 20 per cent for greenhouse gas emission reductions from 2020 to 2030.

For more information on our emissions, energy use and recent reduction activities see the Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Use Annual Report 2019-20(PDF, 2MB).

We conduct regular reviews of environmental issues across all of our activities. Our environmental management system that is third-party certified under ISO 14001.
