Environment

In recognising the importance of sustainability in all its operations, iNova has in place programs to monitor and continuously improve its practices with respect to the environment. The iNova Environmental Management System is currently certified to ISO14001:2004.

We are committed to reducing the impact of our operations on the environment and have a longstanding history of implementing programs that achieve this goal. Some recent program achievements include a 7.5% reduction in electricity usage and a 5% reduction in natural gas usage.

More recently, iNova entered into a vehicle fleet arrangement expected to reduce motor vehicle fuel usage by 10%. Additionally, by partnering with our waste services provider we are constantly exploring new opportunities to divert waste from landfill to the recycling and reuse of waste streams.

iNova has also recently become a signatory to the National Packaging Covenant MkII. This membership demonstrates iNova’s commitment to reduce the environmental impact associated with waste generated within the packaging supply chain of all iNova products. Our membership also includes formal adoption of the Environmental Code of Practice for Packaging, designed to further reduce the impact of packaging on the environment.


Occupational Health and Safety

iNova’s ongoing focus is to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all employees, contractors, visitors and the general public. Specifically, to have a workplace free of incidents and injury by identifying hazards and reducing risks. We pursue this by continuously improving our health and safety programs and having a collective responsibility for safe work practices driven by all managers, supervisors and staff. Participation of employees is actively encouraged through the employee consultation process, which provides an avenue for all staff to provide input into OHS issues in the workplace.

iNova is currently experiencing it lowest recorded lost time injury (LTI) rate with a result that is well below the industry average. This excellent result has been achieved through the implementation of an intensive hazard identification and risk assessment process coupled with a focus on behavioural safety and ergonomics in the workplace.
