Sustainable Development



At Veolia Transport Australasia, we are committed to sustainable development.

By the very nature of our activities, sustainable development is at the heart of everything we do. It characterises the partnerships we have cultivated with governments, industries and the community; it drives the innovative research and development for which the Veolia Environnement company is renowned; and it reflects our corporate values.

Every time one of our customers takes a train, monorail, light rail or bus journey they are helping to reduce congestion. Consequently, our goal at Veolia Transport is to encourage even more members of the community to use public transport.

The increased focus on environmental and social issues is a valuable reminder of our obligation to demonstrate corporate responsibility as part of our commitment to sustainable development. We have developed a sustainable development strategy that seeks to demonstrate our environmental and social commitments in support of our financial performance.

The strategy has been developed to provide the Veolia Transport group of companies in Australasia with a vision and framework to implement social and environmental initiatives appropriate to local considerations.

As part of the world's largest environmental services organisation, we acknowledge that sustainability must be central to everything we do. We also understand that local markets must be served according to the unique conditions and considerations that exist.

Our sustainable development strategy aims to reflect the needs of our stakeholders:

  • Customers - providing a genuine alternative to the Australasian car culture through clean green safe passenger transport services
  • People - creating a working environment that empowers our people through training and development to deliver outstanding customer service
  • Partners/Government - seeking partners to deliver innovative long term passenger transport solutions
  • Community -understanding the needs of local communities that we serve and developing mutually beneficial partnerships with them.

We also have a commitment to ensure that environmental considerations are central in driving our business operations in the future.
