Pacific Hydro - Sustainability

A sustainable industry, a sustainable company

Sustainability is at Pacific Hydro’s core. It drives our business model, measures our performance and ensures we take a triple bottom line approach in all our dealings.

It’s our social and environmental obligation, and our business imperative, to ensure our company operates and grows in a sustainable manner. By working closely with our stakeholders, we’re making a real contribution to society and safeguarding the environment for current and future generations.

We ensure profit growth through industry-leading knowledge and sound business strategies and use our financial strength to deliver positive benefits to the economy, the environment and society.

The energy used to run our business - including manufacturing raw materials, shipping and transport and construction - is a fraction of the green power generated each year at our wind farms and hydro plants. Our environmental policies carefully protect our sites and our operations are governed by the ISO 14001 standard.

The support of our communities is vital: we undertake thorough community consultation and encourage local initiatives through our sponsorship programs.

We’re one of the few companies who can say that as we grow, so do our triple bottom line benefits. And we’re proud of that.
