Approach to environment

NBN Co will provide the broadband infrastructure necessary to allow smart, connected and sustainable communities to be built. The services that will be offered by NBN Co's partners - service providers, will assist Australia in tackling climate change.

For example, service providers may offer video conferencing that can remove the need to travel for face-to-face meetings.

Also smart meters combined with in-home displays have the potential to improve operational efficiency and significantly reduce the amount of energy used by Australian households.

At NBN Co, we will also strive to reduce the impact on the environment in the way we operate our business. We will seek out and implement practices that are environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. We are committed to operating in a way that minimises pollution and complies with relevant environmental legislation, industry standards and codes of practice.
