Climate and Environmental Stewardship

As a toll road company, our infrastructure plays an essential role in connecting communities and keeping economies moving. Our roadways traverse natural environments and need to co-exist with their delicate ecosystems. We strive to minimise our impact as much as possible; our goal is for future generations to benefit from seamless connectivity and thriving natural environments.

Our Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

Environmentally and socially responsible

We understand the responsibility we have to the environment, the community and each other, and we take our commitments seriously. We encourage our people to be curious and look for innovative ways to minimise adverse impacts, no matter how big or small.

We actively manage our environmental impacts. We also recognise the important role we can play in reducing transport emissions as the world transitions to a low-carbon future. We are reducing our emissions and minimizing our footprint while supporting our customers to do the same.
