Environmental awards

In FY19, Brickworks held its second year of Awards for Environmental Excellence, celebrating and promoting environmental excellence with our employees. The three categories of awards included Environmental Champion, Environmental Innovation and Environmental Collaboration. Over 30 nominations were received, demonstrating the passion and enthusiasm across the Brickworks business.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMPION Our Environmental Champion award winner this year was a Graduate Engineer at Austral Bricks Tasmania. A dedicated employee who showed integrity by following through on commitments, undertaking proactive inspections and closing out hazards. He went the extra mile by providing training to colleagues and supporting the Environmental Management System.

ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION The Transport Team at Austral Bricks WA implemented an innovative solution to fuel and emissions reduction. Through the fitting of telematics with GPS capability, drivers now receive accurate reporting of fuel efficiency. This initiative has successfully encouraged improved driver behaviour and improved fuel efficiency.

ENVIRONMENTAL COLLABORATION

Employees from Caloundra, Yatala and Rochedale in Queensland worked together to design and install flood prevention infrastructure at the Coochin Creek Sand Mine, which was critical for the successful closure of the site. Successful rehabilitation projects are an important part of Brickworks’ social licence to operate. Each winner received a trophy and a gift voucher. Congratulations to all our worthy winners and the nominees.
