Priorities Description of priorities
Green Energy for Aviva Australia We will expand our use of 25% renewable electricity from the Melbourne office to all Aviva Australia offices.
Create a paperless meeting room where laptops, USB sticks and projection facilities are used instead of paper We will use technology to create a paperless meeting room.
Reduce energy consumption We will reduce energy consumption for air conditioning by:
  • fitting dampers on air conditioning to control air flow
  • reviewing glazing of external windows to determine a method to prevent energy loss or heat gain of tenancy areas
  • reducing electricity use in amenities areas by fitting motion sensors.
Increase recycling We will install centralised waste stations on all floors that do not already have them, making it easy for staff to recycle more waste.
