CHW has responded to the challenge in dealing with Greenhouse Gas Emissions by working with the Victorian Water Industry and adopting the Greenhouse Emissions Reduction Framework in partnership with Victorian Water Industry, Sustainability Victoria, VicWater, EPA Victoria and the Department of Sustainability and Environment.
CHW reconfirmed its operational alignment with the Victorian Government’s ‘Our Environment Our Future’ sustainability framework by committing to:
- the preparation of an annual inventory of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption
- forecasting greenhouse gas emissions over a 5 year horizon
- identifying and assessing greenhouse gas reduction opportunities
- incorporating cost effective and sustainable greenhouse gas and energy reduction opportunities into strategic and regulatory planning processes
During 2007/08 CHW continued to grow its capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by participating in training and development. Following a comprehensive review of CHW’s Greenhouse Gas assessment methodology a thorough inventory was prepared.
