Sustainability, energy conservation and environmental awareness are embedded in our culture, our people, our practices and our achievements. 

Practical sustainability is integral to the entire broad spectrum of our work, from concept, design and construction, through to commissioning and ongoing operation and maintenance.

     
Star Group has partnered with a leading sustainability consultant to develop our sustainability strategy, align our processes and prepare for disclosure under the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS). This includes the identification and tracking of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, risk assessment, and scenario analysis.
