Environment

“Our world is not something that we hand down to our children, it is on loan to us from our children and their children. We have the responsibility to ensure that we give it back as they need it to be”. Sundale works on the principle that we need to be solid environmental advocates, and balance this with the needs of older Australians. We are responsible for our use of our natural resources and accept the need to minimise or eliminate that use by improved practices and actions.

Sundale has established a program we call simply – Sundale Green. Through this program we are constantly seeking better and more environmentally friendly ways in which we can operate, whether it be through the use of more environmentally friendly paper; the elimination of as much paper as we can; or recycling and reusing as much material as we possibly can.

Additionally in all of our new developments we are ensuring that we are using orientation, materials and positioning to ensure optimum ventilation, as well as incorporating the use of alternative power sources such as solar and we are using water capture and reuse progressively on all sites. All developments will incorporate a specific sustainability analysis to ensure that we are across the latest developments and opportunities in this space.

The nature of the accommodation and services we provide means that our use of water and energy, left unchecked, will be inappropriate going forward. Our commitment and our action will ensure that this is not the case, and that we do indeed do our part in ensuring that we return this world to our children, as they need it to be.
