Highlights

• CSR’s safety record as measured by lost time injuries per million work hours improved by 22 per cent, however the total number of recordable injuries increased by 2 per cent.
• We conducted 45 external assessments of our key sites to measure the implementation of our Safety, Health and Environment (SH&E) management system.
• Greenhouse gas emissions from CSR’s majority owned businesses were 1,213,493 tonnes of CO2-e during the year – a reduction of 12.7 per cent on the previous year.
• CSR established a new cross-functional carbon working group to better position the company towards a low carbon environment and develop specific responses to the proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS).
• We continued to work with the Federal Government and other key stakeholders on improvements to the proposed CPRS, with a key emphasis on developing a broad based scheme which reduces emissions but not at the expense of local Australian manufacturing.
• CSR continued to strengthen our Governance and Risk management procedures – CSR’s governance was recognised as ‘best practice’ by Ethical Investor magazine during the year.
• We added to the sustainability of our building products range with the launch of Gyprock EC08^TM, made from higher recycled content and increased our capacity to produce more glasswool insulation.
• In Sugar, we launched a new ‘Better for you’ range of sugars and increased our capacity to produce renewable fuel ethanol.
• We continued to partner with a number of community based organisations, particularly in response to the urgent needs of communities affected by the floods in North Queensland and the bushfires in Victoria, with product donations and financial assistance through the CSR Community Support Program.
