Continue to encourage and facilitate modes of transport by staff which minimise environmental impact, and to apply environmentally friendly principles to the operation of any owned vehicles
Reduce water consumption
Promote a purchasing policy which will give preference, as far as practicable, to those products and services which cause the least harm to the environment
Avoid wherever practical, the use of environmentally damaging substances, materials and processes.
Sustainability Reporting
We are currently conducting a carbon inventory exercise across our 32 offices to assess the feasibility of other carbon neutral initiatives/opportunities and to also determine the current state of RSM Australia's sustainability data and information. This assessment will provide insights into the current state of our sustainability performance, areas of strengths and opportunities for improvement.
The results from this assessment will be used to report our sustainability performance in our first RSM Australia Sustainability Report to bring value to the firm, enhance operational excellence, as well as client experience.
Stay tuned for further information!
