SVC’s vision is to be a leader in environmental sustainability within the Australian precast concrete industry. We are committed to minimising our impact on the environment while fulfilling the needs of our customers and community.

SVC recognises our responsibility to help protect our community and the environment we live in. We will accomplish our vision by adopting long-term sustainable actions throughout our business operations, focusing on reusing, repurposing and recycling wherever we can, embracing new technologies and innovation, and mitigating negative environmental impacts while we continue to evaluate and improve our environmental management system.

The development of SVC’s inaugural Sustainability Charter represents our first official step towards defining our sustainability objectives, and putting the necessary processes in place to monitor and measure the impact and success of current and planned initiatives.

We are thankful for the collaboration and support of like-minded industry partners who share our approach towards an environmentally sustainable future in manufacturing and construction. We acknowledge the instrumental role these partners play in our sustainability journey, helping contribute to a better world for future generations.

OUR KEY SUSTAINABILITY CONSIDERATIONS

LIFE-CYCLE THINKING

A life-cycle mindset pushes us to think about the entirety of our environmental impacts. This includes using natural resources more efficiently and sourcing them more carefully.

TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION

We embrace new technologies and approaches to manufacturing precast concrete, in order to stay abreast of opportunities to reduce our environmental impact while remaining efficient and effective in our work.

REUSE, REPURPOSE, RECYCLE

We seek methods to embrace more circular manufacturing and operational practices, helping us to reduce waste, integrate recycled materials and reduce costs.

Decarbon-isation

We recognise the significant impact that concrete production has on global GHG emissions and are committed to carbon reduction strategies, leveraging opportunities to reduce emissions.

TOXICITY & POLLUTION CONTROL

We are committed to mitigating the risks associated with pollution, contamination or hazardous materials in our manufacturing processes, while also avoiding the use of toxic materials in our supply chain.
