1.0 Sustainability Vision
Thiess intend to create a brighter future together with the communities we operate in, by putting into action sustainable programs, and practices that look for substantial reductions of the carbon footprint associated with most of the core business activities of our organization.
This is done by inspiring a sense of individual & collective ownership on what we do and how we do it in relation to our undeniable ethical commitment to preserve and protect the environment, its biodiversity and it’s non-renewable resources, for the present generation and the ones to come.
At the same time, we deliver creative and innovative technological solutions that not only add value to our shareholders, while improving the environmental, …show more content…
But also determining how the overall environmental, social and economic performance is monitored and measured against the effectiveness of the strategies, goals, objectives, and actions currently put in place on environmental management of :energy, water, waste & dust, land and biodiversity.
1.3 Sustainability Goals & Objectives
Goal No.1-“Reduction of Energy Consumption onsite”
Thiess has the potential to reduce/save more than 2,054 GWatts/year of energy over the next 17 months of project life cycle, working with energy consultants and equipment suppliers.
Objectives
• As of 15/1/2008 construction team will use larger electrical generator, with increased loading capacity rather than large number of small generators.
• Within 2 months, starting 15/3/2008 electrical team will submit a technical assessment with cost/benefit analysis for the use of renewable energy …show more content…
1.4 Current Project Position (Baseline) with Regard to Sustainability
The sustainability baseline for the project was established by the Site Construction team based on the project documentation issued for construction and submitted by the Design Team and the planning Team, and the site environmental conditions outlined by the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) performed by the Environmental Team onsite, with input of all the construction team disciplines.
This is why; after a detailed review of the EIA the following environmental issues were identified as outstanding, and therefore became sustainability objectives to be addressed
With the highest possible priority, as follows:
Reduction of Energy Onsite
• Large number of small generators with low efficiencies (higher carbon footprint) was
