Environmental Management

Environmental management practices

The Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development (DIIRD) is working to minimise its environmental impacts and foster environmentally positive practices.

The department has developed an Environment Management System (EMS) manual to address the negative environmental impacts associated with energy, waste, paper, transport and water at our head office at 121 Exhibition Street. Strategies for EMS development in regional offices are being investigated for implementation in 2005-06.

Environmental Policy

The department's environmental commitment is defined in its environmental policy and we are continuing to build on our successes in environmental performance.

The environmental policy is approved by high-level departmental committees and reviewed annually.

DIIRD is working to:

reduce energy and resource consumption, reuse and recycle resources, and improve environmental purchasing practice
minimise waste
increase staff awareness of good environmental practices
comply with relevant legislation and regulations, government requirements and other requirements
update and improve our environmental practices
implement environmental policy and management strategies, and make them available to all employees and relevant stakeholders on request
