Sustainability

To Origin, sustainability means managing our business with a view to the future, both of our own business and of those affected by what we do. 

We make long-term commitments to serve the interests of our customers, of the communities who give us access to resources, the investors who provide us with capital and the employees who make it all happen. Some of those commitments are economic in nature, others are social or environmental.

We hope that by living up to our commitments, and by acting in accordance with our own principles and values, we will enjoy the ongoing support of these groups and together make a difference in the broader community. Some of our recent highlights and external recognition of our efforts are captured on our Highlights page.

The commitments we make are laid out in our Sustainability Report every year, along with more detailed 5-year objectives and a report of our success or otherwise in delivering against them.

To bring the reporting to life we include selected case studies, in writing and in video.

Along the way we provide opportunities for our own people to get involved in social and environmental issues through our volunteering program, the community work sponsored by Origin and the philanthropic work of the Origin Foundation. Our people who get involved often find it fun and personally rewarding - we try to capture some of their experience in these pages.
