Batteries Plus has been operating for over 20 years as an Australian owned company committed to achieving sustainable growth and developing environmentally friendly partnerships with our suppliers and clients.
As a market leader in retail battery power solutions, our customer base is drawn across government, commercial, and industrial sectors, while our suppliers include many highly reputed international brands.
We recognise that in dealing exclusively with products containing potentially hazardous materials, our ability to reduce environmental impacts and carbon footprints is threefold; in our own company’s day-to-day operations, in choosing suppliers and partners who uphold the highest sustainability standards and in encouraging our customers to adopt new technologies and methodologies to reduce their own impacts.
With a marked global shift in government policy and industry compliances we have reviewed and refined our own Environmental Policy Statement as part of our ongoing commitment:
-
Regulatory Compliance
We comply with all relevant and applicable environmental legislation, regulations, requirements, targets and guidelines.
-
Resource Reduction
We implement the most up to date technologies and monitoring methods to minimise waste and maximise efficiency in usage of natural resources including water, power, gas, fuel and other raw materials
-
Pollution Prevention
We take all possible measures to minimise the impact on the environment in our day-to-day operations.
-
Climate Change
We take all possible steps to reduce greenhouse emissions and minimise any contribution to climate change.
-
Waste Management
We strive to reduce all landfill waste to a minimum, and reuse and recycle wherever possible.
-
Stakeholder Engagement
We engage all concerned parties; management, employees, contractors, and customers and suppliers, to raise environmental awareness and encourage change.
-
Travel, Transportation and Commuting
In our own business-related travel, fleet vehicles and employee commuting we strive to utilise options with the least possible impacts.
-
Ongoing Improvement
We monitor and regularly review our performances on all aspects and set goals as outlined above to ensure the best possible outcomes.
