Creating future-fit branches
The Ignition - Future-Fit Country and Branch Programme has embedded a consistent approach to planning, prioritising and implementing activities to achieve sustainability goals at all branches. It is a core foundation for our sustainability progress, delivering incremental improvement and supporting transformative change through embedding the future-fit methodology and mindset into our operations at every branch.
Branch Sustainability Action Plans are designed to guide activity, set targets and measure progress addressing the main impacts and opportunities associated with our branches. These five focus areas (energy, water, waste, emissions and community contribution) cover the core impact areas for our branches to progress the sustainability goals for our site operations.
Future-Fit Branch Action Plans were initially developed in the USA in FY20, rolled out to Australia in FY21 and then to New Zealand in early FY22. All our branches globally now have Future-Fit Branch Action Plans in place so that a consistent approach is taken, and enables regular sharing of learning, experience and improvement ideas between branches and business groups. In FY22 we began rolling out newly designed branch carbon impact reports to track progress on actions, reduction targets and emissions impacts.
Future-fit sustainability progress is a central part of our operational and lead team meetings in each country. Work is underway to engage all our crew and support branch managers and their teams to deliver their action plans, tracking progress and sharing success.
