100% green electricity by 2025

We are one of the largest users of electricity across Australia and New Zealand, and our electricity use represents the majority of our operational emissions footprint. Our goal to be 100% powered by green electricity will make a significant positive change to Australia’s energy mix.  We will invest in new large-scale renewable electricity projects and solar on our rooftops to make this possible.
