Sustainability at CSIRO

Everything that CSIRO does wants to have a positive impact environmentally, socially and economically. It is in our core purpose and values that we strive to serve the public and do things in the countries best interest with game changing science. Some examples at CSIRO are the fleet of electric vehicles at Clayton and charging stations, sustainability seminars, waste separation management with separate bins, focusing on net zero emissions etc.

When considering ethics for any program, environment is 1 element that is always considered

This is a constant running goal at the Energy Centre. We have several screens that regularly show up-to-date statistics on energy use and the downward trend is unmistakable.

no opinion

are constantly undertaking sustainability research in several areas and across the whole organisation.

Same consideration as above.

There is an increasing focus on this but it is still a developing area of the company.

Implementing renewable energy to run the office facilities.

This is an emerging area for CSIRO.

We have entire Groups across multiple business units that are working on creating a more sustainable world. CSIRO seems committed to adopting their research within its own sustainability efforts.

As Australia's national science agency, a lot of what happens here is designed to set an example for other organisations. the science we do is a big part of net zero in Australia so a lot of smaller scale sustainability efforts are also taking place.

Whenever a task needs doing at CSIRO a risk assessment is drafted. All risk assessments consider environmental impact. In fact CSIRO is leading several recycling and restoration efforts.

yes seems to be trying hard with this

Waste and several recycling bins (general, paper) are great! It would be nice to see can collection bins as well, and the money raised from that be put towards something, maybe the land for wildlife that QCAT sits on?

They not only have little footprint themselves they actively research ways in which other high polluting industries can reduce theirs.

Renewable energy installations on-site, emissions reductions through power purchase agreements, electric and hybrid vehicles in fleet.

My company has a strong commitment to sustainability, as it is one of the main areas of its work.

Our research directly aims to reduce environmental footprint.

the CSIRO is very involved in sustainability research and we are encouraged to adopt sustainable practices as we work

Net Zero emissions by 2030
