Our sole tenancy at 5 Farrell Place holds a National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) Energy Tenancy Rating of 5.5 stars. This rating has decreased from 6 stars in the previous reporting year. This is due to a new assessment regime that incorporates the entire physical premises rather than just the tenancy that we manage.

Despite this decrease, our ongoing workplace initiatives include:

• encouraging and educating staff to be a part of minimising our environmental impact
• contracting services to recycle organic waste, paper and cardboard
• reducing electricity use through more efficient use of technology and staff interaction, particularly in regard to lighting and workplace equipment and devices
• purchasing electricity from 100 per cent renewable sources, and
• developing and implementing more efficient heating and cooling practices.
