Delta Electricity has prepared a Sustainability Policy which was endorsed by the Board in September 2006. The Policy is a guide to ensuring Delta complies with its social, economic and environmental obligations under the State Owned Corporations Act (1989) and meets the obligations of the esaa Code of Sustainable Practice.
The Delta policy notes that a sustainable business would:
- be financially viable;
minimise environmental, social and economic risks and impacts;
optimise resource usage and minimise costs;
take the interests of all stakeholders, including shareholders, employees and the community into account;
implement practices that are equitable and that enhance community development;
maintain a system of governance that ensures compliance with all legislation and regulations; and
set a high standard of business ethics.
An annual Sustainability Report currently being finalised for the year 2005/2006, provides information on Delta’s performance against the actions set out in its Sustainability Policy. In previous years, an Environment Report was prepared or reporting on economic, social environmental performance was incorporated into the Annual Report.
Both the Sustainability Policy and related corporate standards are periodically reviewed and revised by the Executive Environment Committee and Board Environment Committee to reflect changing conditions and ensure continual improvement of the organisation's environmental performance.
