Transurban's vision ‘to strengthen communities through transport’ is closely supported by our Sustainability Strategy, which has three pillars:
Be good neighbours: We will work with communities to create shared value with our business by anticipating and listening and responding to community needs
Use less: We will minimise natural resource use and create resource efficiencies during development, operations and maintenance to reduce the impacts of our operations on the community and environment
Think long term: We will look for innovative transport solutions that will create efficient, safe transport networks and thriving cities
These are the guiding principles for not only our sustainability initiatives but also our day-to-day activities. We continued to implement initiatives for each of these sustainability pillars, and to encourage awareness within the business. Examples of these initiatives are shown below and further detailed throughout this report.
