Environmental Policy Statement

Aussie IT has been operating for over 20 years as an Australian owned company committed to achieving sustainable growth and developing environmentally friendly partnerships with our suppliers and clients.

As a market leader in office supply solutions, our client base is drawn across government commercial and industrial sectors, while our suppliers include many highly reputed international brands.

We recognise that in dealing exclusively with office electronics and consumables, our potential to reduce environmental impacts and carbon footprints is threefold; in our own company’s day-to-day operations, in choosing suppliers and partners who uphold the highest sustainability standards and in encouraging our clients to adopt new technologies and methodologies to reduce their own impacts.

With a marked global shift in government policy and industry compliances we have reviewed and refined our own Environmental Policy Statement as part of our ongoing commitment:

  • Regulatory Compliance: We comply with all relevant and applicable environmental legislation, requirements, targets and guidelines.
  • Resource Reduction:We implement the most up to date technologies and monitoring methods to minimise waste and maximise efficiency in usage of natural resources including water, power, gas, fuel and other raw materials.
  • Pollution Prevention:We take all possible measures to minimise the impact on the environment in our day-to-day operations.
  • Climate Change:We take all possible steps to reduce greenhouse emissions and minimise any contribution to climate change.
  • Waste Management:We strive to reduce all landfill waste to a minimum, and reuse and recycle wherever possible.
  • Stakeholder Engagement:We engage all concerned parties; management, employees, contractors, and customers and suppliers, to raise environmental awareness and encourage change.
    • Travel, Transportation and Commuting: In our own business-related travel, fleet vehicles and employee commuting we strive to utilise options with the least possible impacts.
  • Ongoing Improvement:We monitor and regularly review our performances on all aspects and set goals as outlined above to ensure the best possible outcomes.
