GJK Facility Services is committed to improving sustainability performance of the organisation through promoting a culture of sustainability, managing our operations in a manner that minimises our environmental and social impact and enabling the integration of sustainability principles and practices in our day to day activities.

This commitment is demonstrated through:

• Ensuring sustainability is reflected in GJK Facility Services' strategic documents.
• Developing an annual Sustainability Reporting Framework.
• Providing training and support to staff to adopt sustainability practices to achieve sustainable behaviour change within the workplace.
• Partnering with clients and community to respond to the needs for a sustainable future and provide leadership within our industry.
• Fostering a culture of sustainability and reducing our ecological footprint.
• Joining a global network and demonstrating our commitment to transparency, accountability and sustainable development.

GJK Facility Services believes that great transparency leads to improved sustainability performance, they became members of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Organisational Stakeholders Group to become involved in the further development, improvement and dissemination of the GRI Reporting Framework.  View GJK's OS Member page

In October 2008 the Global Reporting Initiative announced they had established a new Australian base at St. James Ethic Centre.  View Media Release   GJK along with other Australian Organisational Stakeholders received an invitation from the St James Ethics Centre and the Global Reporting Initiative and participated in a special program of consultation and feedback on the establishment of this GRI Focal Point in Australia in December 2008.  GJK are extremely proud to be part of this great intiative.

GRI has pioneered the development of the world's most widely used sustainability reporting framework (G3) and is committed to its continuous improvement and application worldwide.  This framework sets out the principles and indicators which organisations use to measure and report on their economic, environmental and social performance.  These Guidelines have become the 'gold standard' of reporting and is the most used, credible and trusted framework within the world.


GJK's Green Team

In order to demonstrate our commitment to corporate social responsibility and to reduce our Greenhouse Gas emissions and our impact on the environment, we engaged the services of Sustainable Footprint Pty Ltd to perform an energy, water and transport audit of our Head Office.  As part of this process we are now part of the carbon monitoring program with the aim of becoming carbon neutral.  We are committed in setting an example to all of our stakeholders in order to demonstrate how practical measures taken at corporate and personal levels can tackle the issues of climate change head on.
