#Our approach to responsible environment management

We integrate environmental considerations into all business decisions and set ambitious goals to drive continual improvement. 

We empower our people to innovate, collaborate and develop creative solutions to achieve leading environmental outcomes. 

In 2025, we introduced four global training modules focused on climate change, materiality, waste management and carbon emissions management, translated into all the primary languages of our operating regions.

We use technology-based solutions to address environmental challenges and enhance our environmental performance.

Our ISO14001 certified Environmental Management System (EMS) provides consistency in how we plan, implement and review activities to achieve agreed environmental objectives. 

In 2025, Thiess advanced its sustainability performance by recycling or reusing 38% of waste, achieving a 24% reduction in Scope 1 emissions and a 31% reduction in Scope 2 emissions year‑on‑year, and sourcing 30% of electricity from renewable energy.
