Optus is committed to reducing our environmental footprint and implementing best practice in managing our operations, processes, products, services and suppliers.

From corporate offices to our network operations, we strive to operate in a way that minimises environmental impacts, and continually improve our environmental performance. Our policies, environmental management systems and action plans are regularly reviewed and externally audited.

Our environmental policy supports our commitment to our Vision for the Environment. It identifies key environmental issues for our organisation on pollution, waste, recycling, sustainability and conducting all matters of business in an environmentally sound manner.

We have established many internal processes to support our environmental objectives and we are continually increasing awareness with staff newsletters, internal updates and information sessions. Training is provided to all relevant employees to ensure they have knowledge of regulatory requirements, internal standards and Optus’ policies and procedures. Energy efficiency is encouraged through workshops with engineering, IT, procurement, operations, facilities management, and corporate and environmental staff.
