The Group monitors environmental performance in relation to these risks, according to the following indicators against which risks and opportunities can be assessed and managed for:
- Resource efficiency and carbon footprint
- Emissions, effluents, and waste management.
Our individual operations are encouraged to understand and identify hazards and risks and their potential effects, and to implement preventative measures to achieve the Group’s zero harm aspiration.
Murray & Roberts requires that operating companies adopt the most stringent standards, whether they are imposed by client environmental management plans, local and national legislation, or the Group itself. Our operations are required to implement and comply with ISO 14001, a standard that addresses environmental management systems. Currently, 70% of the Group’s operations are ISO 14001 certified, based on number of employees.
