Sustainability Commitment

Carbon Offsets - We have partnered with Greenfleet, Australia’s most trusted source of bio-diverse carbon offsets, to offset the emissions from our fleet. Every year, we calculate the number of greenhouse gases generated by our operations fleet and Greenfleet plants enough native trees in Australia to capture our emissions. As they grow, these trees form permanent forests, which do much more than sequester carbon. Greenfleet’s forests re-build vital habitats for native wildlife, improve water quality in catchments, prevent soil erosion and salinity, and safeguard Australia’s unique biodiversity. In 2015-2016, we will have offset approx. 15.30 tons of CO2-e with Greenfleet. We are publicly committed to offsetting our greenhouse gas emissions by partnering with Greenfleet, Australia’s first bio-diverse carbon offset provider. We are taking on a leadership role in an area where we can make a difference and set an example for our industry. Member Australian Conservation Foundation. Member Australian Surfrider Foundation. Electricity Usage - Powershop is part of Meridian Energy, a 100% renewable energy generator (in fact the largest 100% renewable energy generator in Australasia). Meridian Energy in Australia operates two wind farms and these wind farms produce more renewable energy than the total energy Powershop sells. So every dollar you spend with Powershop will help us. Accessibility - Southern Exposure strives to create a welcoming and inclusive approach for all our students, whether they come from challenging circumstances, such as refugees, are living with physical or emotional disabilities, such as our blind students, or within strict religious or cultural guidelines, such as our Muslim (The Islamic College) school students. Positive Start - In 2022 / 2023 Southern Exposure chose to participate in the Victorian Government initiative to re-engage primary and secondary students and to boost their physical and emotional health and wellbeing in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. With the free Positive Start program, Victorian students can be more active, reconnect with friends and find inspiration in new and exciting places. Southern Exposure supports the principle of universal design to ensure wherever possible access is not denied to people with disabilities.
