We measure and report our year-on-year emissions and energy consumption to understand our impact on the environment and opportunities to reduce total emissions.
Iress has set a 2030 science-based aligned emission reduction target. We commit to reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, and scope 3 emissions 18.5% by 2030 from a 2019 base year.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that global warming must not exceed 1.5 degrees celsius (above pre-industrial temperatures) to avoid the most catastrophic impacts to the environment. Businesses have a vital role to play in driving down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and building a resilient, zero-emissions economy grounded in science.
Key reduction initiatives include:
LiteHaus International's Digital Infrastructure Program has provided a digital touchpoint to over 40,000 students, teachers, and community members in Papua New Guinea. In addition, their Digital Inclusion Program has provided a personal digital device to 850 high school students across rural, regional, and remote Australia.
Iress is supporting digital inclusion to address inequalities in regional communities.
Through LiteHaus International's Digital Infrastructure Program, Iress donated desktops, monitors, laptops, screens and TVs to the program, amounting to over 300 items.
