Sustainability at Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

There is awareness in presentations.

Again, in my short time here, I notice the low-level use of plastic and separating wastes, and motion-controlled lighting system etc to reduce the environmental impact.

We hardly use paper and have recycle waste splendidly.

Same as above

No experience on this front.

Great

No idea. There are different bins to separate the wastes. Also, there are some automatic systems to manage the power usage.

recycle .. is one of main goals of the company

There is definitely an effort to improve sustainability. Small examples include reducing paper usage in the office, plenty of plants and greenery on every floor of the office and bins with options for organic waste and recycling waste, power-saving on electricity.

They are several projects going on e.g. migration of company data to the cloud system, which would save cost and benefit the environment in the long run.

I'll mention again the waste facility options available in each of the kitchens and lunchrooms (landfill, recycling and organic). All windows are fitted with blinds to reduce the heat in summer and retain the hear in winter. Other intitiative may be in place that I am unaware of.

There is a dedicated sustainability group. All kitchens have recycling facilities and staff are encouraged to utilise all recycling measures. All kitchens also have green walls and hanging plants. Meeting rooms have automatic lights that switch off after a time.

The office recycle and has landfill reducing options. Environmental sustainability is in our corporate plan.

I really think that they do their best. We are equipped with all types of programs so that we can decrease the need for printing. Our printers have a tap-to-release function, so you need to scan your pass to print. This is great as people in my old workplace would print documents and then forget to grab them from the printer. This means that our information is more secure and we decrease paper waste. We have clearly marked bins on each floor for 'landfill', 'recycling', and 'organic'. There is clearly a push for us to reduce consumption of goods which end up in landfill.

I have seen a couple of initiatives but I believe there should be more
