The 2025-27 SWH Environmental Management Plan outlines how environmental sustainability is embedded within our organisation. Actions range from reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste to landfill, to developing our understanding and capacity to adapt as an organisation to a changing climate. Activity in this area is overseen by the SWH Environmental Sustainability Committee and progress reported annually through our Public Environment Reports. Stand alone Public Environment Reports were published prior to 2022-23 and are included below. Since 2023-24, Public Environment Reports are included (and can be accessed) in our Annual Reports.
