Suburban Rail Loop Authority will be a progressive leader that supports sustainable communities and enables great places in sustainable ways. Through our delivery of Suburban Rail Loop, we will help ensure a more liveable Victoria for present and future generations – environmentally, socially and economically.

To achieve this policy, SRLA is committed to:

• Using resources efficiently by embedding energy, water, material and waste reduction initiatives into the
  way we work, the places we create and the investments we design, construct and operate
• Making a positive contribution to the social, cultural and health and wellbeing of our communities
• Promoting equity, diversity and inclusion and delivering a legacy of skills, learning, expertise and
  experience
• Supporting the use of recycled and reused materials and considering whole-life impacts and benefits to
  maximise the value of resources and services
• Playing a part in Victoria achieving its emissions reduction targets
• Planning and building our projects and communities to be climate resilient and prepared, and adaptable
  to future climate conditions, trends and demands
• Recognising and planning for the diverse needs of future users.

To realise these commitments, our people will:

• Demonstrate leadership in sustainability and integrate sustainability principles into the planning, design,
  procurement and decision-making processes for our program of investments
• Establish meaningful and practical sustainability objectives and targets that will have impactful outcomes
• Encourage innovation and continuous improvement
• Collaborate with our partners and supply chain to achieve leading sustainability outcomes through our
  workforce and the products and services we procure and deliver
• Regularly review and critically assess progress against our sustainability commitments
• Be transparent about our sustainability performance and be accountable for meeting our environmental
  and social responsibilities
• Collaborate with other agencies and authorities, sharing lessons learned and further developing leading
  practice.
