FY19 key highlights
Environment
This financial year we have made significant changes in the way we operate to manage our environmental footprint. While continuing to reduce our gross carbon emissions, FY19 marks the first year of our commitment to offset 100% of our air travel emissions and purchase 100% renewable electricity for our offices.
