Our journey towards a more sustainable future.
As a leader in project logistics, relocation, and information management, we understand our responsibility to tackle environmental challenges and minimise our impact on the planet and the communities we serve.
Our commitment to environmental sustainability.
We undertake all activities mindful of protecting and conserving the natural environment, reducing pollution, and ensuring employee health. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our efforts to establish and review measurable objectives and targets annually.
Low emission vehicles
Grace is leading the way in adopting low-emission light commercial vehicles across its national fleet, setting a strong example for sustainability in the industry. With a focus on a greener future, we are transitioning to hybrid electric-diesel vehicles to reduce our environmental impact.
Native reforestation
We’re proud to partner with the non-profit organisation Greenfleet to offset our vehicle emissions by supporting native reforestation projects across Australia. Since 2020, our contributions have helped plant trees that remove 18,319 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere.
Renewable energy
By implementing our solar panel rollout program and retrofitting low-voltage LED lighting in Grace warehouses and offices, we have successfully reduced operational costs while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency across our facilities.
Waste minimisation
We prioritise sustainable packaging whenever possible. Our corrugated cardboard cartons and boxes are FSC certified and fully recyclable. Additionally, our commercial asset and e-waste recycling programs are designed based on circular economy principles.
