We remain committed to a more sustainable, responsible, and ethical future. Our ESG strategy, comprising four foundational initiatives to promote sustainable practices that benefit our clients, communities, and industry.
Sustainability and responsible business practices aren’t just talking points at Civium—they’re a fundamental part of how we operate. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy focuses on four foundational initiatives, each designed to drive positive change across all parts of our business.
From strengthening our commitment to reconciliation to reducing our environmental impact, we’re actively working towards a future where sustainability and ethical governance go hand in hand. Here’s an update on our progress.
1. Supply Nation Certification & Reconciliation Action Plan
We’re dedicated to fostering strong relationships with First Nations communities. As part of this commitment, we’re developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) that prioritises staff engagement through a structured 5-Pillar framework.
- Current Actions: We are working to confirm our registration with Reconciliation Australia and establish clear opportunities for staff participation in reconciliation efforts.
- Timeline: The framework is set to be finalised by 1 March 2025.
2. Contractor Compliance and Sustainability
Ensuring our contractor network aligns with ESG principles is a key focus for Civium. We aim to benchmark and increase the number of contractors with sustainability strategies, fostering responsible and ethical partnerships.
- Current Actions: We are integrating ESG criteria into our compliance process, refining contractor forms, and aligning them with Civium’s Code of Conduct.
- Timeline: This initiative is targeted for completion by 1 June 2025.
3. Promotion of a Risk Mitigation Plan
Risk management is integral to protecting our clients, assets, and communities. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive Risk Mitigation Plan that addresses key internal and external risks.
- Current Actions: Finalising the Risk Mitigation Plan in collaboration with key stakeholders, ensuring it includes client-facing metrics for enhanced transparency and preparedness.
- Timeline: This initiative is scheduled for launch by 1 March 2025.
4. Digital Communication Transition
Reducing paper usage and transitioning to digital communication is an important step towards sustainability. We are working towards a 60% digital adoption rate across our strata schemes.
- Current Actions: Running an email and print campaign highlighting the benefits of digital communication, measuring current post/print usage, and encouraging owners to opt into digital correspondence.
- Timeline: Our target is to achieve this transition by 1 June 2025.
Committed to a Sustainable Future
Civium’s ESG strategy isn’t just a set of goals—it’s a commitment to action. By embedding sustainability and ethical governance into our operations, we are driving long-term value for our clients, partners, and communities.
We look forward to sharing more updates as we continue progressing towards a more responsible and sustainable future.
