A10 Triple bottom line report (Appendix 4)

The ACT Government is committed to sustainable government operations. The ACT Government's framework for sustainability is laid out in People, Place, and Prosperity, which uses a triple bottom line approach to sustainability, recognising the interdependence of social, economic and environmental wellbeing.

An essential element of sustainability is transparent reporting. Table A10.1 below compares the Directorate performance in 2011-12 and 2010-11. The table also provides percentage change from 2010-11 to 2011-12.

Notes:

a. The results for the Economic element represent a Directorate total (figures supplied by Finance and Human Resources).

b. The results for the Environmental element are based on the four central office sites at 220 Northbourne Avenue in Braddon, Hedley Beare Centre for Teaching and Learning in Stirling, former Higgins Primary School and the Fyshwick Annex.

c. The decrease in area space is not directly relative to reductions in energy usage.

d. The results for the 'water' element are significantly lower than 2010-11 due to there being no major water/plumbing issues during 2011-12.

e. The results for the 'estimate of comingled material recycled (based on bins collected)' are significantly higher due to the increase in comingled recycling for 220 Northbourne Avenue in Braddon after this site became an ACT Smart Office accredited recycler in 2012.

f. The results for staff receiving influenza vaccinations are based on calendar year as of the close of the scheduled program.
