Sustainability
APP Sustainability Statement
APP is one of Australia’s leading Project Management companies; we take our role in sustaining the future very seriously. In managing the built environment, infrastructure and business systems APP is helping to shape how our society is defined. Sustainability is not just another service offering; it is integral to the way we do business and embedded in our culture.
Assurance
We will regularly review our performance and seek external review and assurance of our public reporting.
Governance
APP’s Board holds to the key operational tenets of integrity and accountability. These tenets are cornerstones of APP’s Core Values and are supported and practised by all staff when dealing with peers, clients, subcontractors and the community.
Economic
As a subsidiary of a publicly listed company, APP strives to maximise shareholder returns.
Our profitability is driven by our success; achieved through a commitment to our clients’ objectives and adding value to their business.
APP will aim to employ people from the local community so we may return value to that community, whilst minimising social dislocation for staff.
Environment
APP is committed to reducing our environmental footprint. We have established the baseline of our operations and have committed to targets for ongoing reductions. APP is committed to making positive contribution internally and, through our interactions with clients, we will explore opportunities to improve their performance in sustainability.
APP understands that application of the precautionary principle - making a decision that favours the environment when all the facts are not at hand - is part of our ethical responsibility for the maintenance of natural systems.
Social
At APP we recognise that our employees’ wellbeing is fundamental to our business success. We provide a working environment based on the principles of diversity, fairness, equity and equal employment opportunity. We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or bullying. APP has committed to following these policies and to recording our performance in these areas.
APP has always provided open forums for employee communication, through regular Communications Meetings, the Innovation Development Group and staff bulletins. APP also ensures that pertinent information relating to our parent company is made available to our staff and that access is provided to the employee intranet.
Human Rights
APP endeavours to support and respect the protection of internationally recognised human rights. APP will develop protocols as it enters new countries to make sure we are not complicit in human rights abuses.
Community
APP contributes to the community through our substantial involvement with Redkite – a charity providing wide-ranging support services to families battling childhood cancer.
APP has an open and transparent approach to the engagement of stakeholders on behalf of our clients.
Product Responsibility
APP will exercise due care in delivering its services to ensure that social and environmental impacts are minimised whilst at all times protecting client privacy.
