Modern Slavery
The Australian Government has introduced the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018 that requires large entities such as PLUS ES to report publicly on their actions to assess and address modern slavery risks in their operations and supply chain. We will report each year on our actions to assess and address modern slavery with our Modern Slavery Statement.
Modern slavery describes situations where victims are being deprived of their freedom through threats, coercion or deception.
In servicing our customers we have a significant procurement footprint. Our relationship with our external partners who supply us with goods and services from overseas and locally is important in assessing and addressing modern slavery risks.
Our External Partner Code of Conduct, Sustainable Procurement Policy and regular engagement forums with our suppliers provides us with the governance tools and engagement to support our management of modern slavery risks. See or Modern Slavery Statement to find out more about what we are doing.
Environmental
Our Environmental Management System (EMS) is certified to international standard ISO 14001 in NSW. It is used to identify environmental risks and put measures in place to effectively manage these risks.
The EMS includes policies, procedures and training to provide a basis for continual environmental improvement.
The scope of our EMS applies to all activities, products and services carried out by PLUS ES which may impact on the environment. Our EMS applies to all of our employees and operations, including those carried out by contractors.
We develop an annual Environmental Sustainability Improvement Plan, which sets objectives and targets to improve our environmental performance in areas such as pollution control, energy and water reduction, waste and carbon emissions.
Our Sustainability Policy, Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Policy and Environmental Code of Conduct outline our commitment to the environment.
