At Flinders Port Holdings (FPH) we believe a sustainable business is one that acts positively to achieve sustainable outcomes, minimising harm, being at one with our communities and the environment and ensuring the financial resilience of the group now and in the future.
Our aim is to be recognised as a leader in sustainable port development and operations. We want our legacy to be the creation of a business we can continue to be proud of and which contributes to a positive future for generations to come.
Sustainability Policy
Our vision and approach to sustainability is encapsulated in the Sustainability Group Policy which you can read in full here.
As outlined below, the plan underpinning our policy is split in to three themes: Environmental, Social & Governance.
We are committed to high standards of ethical conduct and strive to uphold human rights, fair working conditions and to engage in sustainable and environmentally sound business practices.
Under the ‘social’ theme of our Sustainable Group Policy, we have also published our Ethical Sourcing Group Policy, which you can read in full here. and our current Modern Slavery Statement, available here.
Sustainability Plan
Through the launch of our first group-wide sustainability plan we are building on our strong record of sustainable and responsible practice at Flinders Port Holdings.
The plan underpins our new Sustainability Group Policy and centralises coordination, oversight and delivery of all our work in this space.
It covers a range of actions we will take, and goals we want to achieve, over the next three years and is grouped in to three themes: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). These themes align with best practice in sustainability.
Across each of the three themes we have set out short and medium-term goals. More generally, we have also committed to continue strengthening our overall sustainability approach in conjunction with our Master Planning. We will engage with our stakeholders to understand their concerns and identify further opportunities that will fall into each of our three sustainability themes.
