ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

Embed environmental sustainability into our decision making 

Our approach to environmental health

Achieving our vision to deliver the best health and wellbeing for our customers, our people and our community relies on us doing what we can to protect the health of our planet. We recognise the science of climate change and we appreciate the impact it can have on human health and the role the health sector needs to play in reducing our environmental impact. We are taking steps to reduce the environmental impact of our operations and supply chain and are committed to transparently sharing our progress. For details about our progress against our sustainability commitments in the environmental health space, and a glossary of key terms used here, refer to our ESG databooks, available here.    

Our work in environmental health is guided by our material topics and commitments:  

Environmental health and climate change 

  • Continue to strengthen disclosure of how we respond to climate change and collaborate to reduce environmental impacts  
  • Progress against Net Zero Target and Pathway

Continue to strengthen disclosure of how we respond to climate change and collaborate to reduce environmental impacts

The Australian Government has introduced mandatory sustainability reporting for climate-related financial disclosures, which requires reporting in accordance with the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standard AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures (AASB S2) as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Sustainability Report of Medibank Private Limited and its controlled subsidiaries are published as part of our results
