Environment

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Ten Holdings is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its businesses by working with our clients, suppliers and employees to achieve operational efficiencies.

Network Ten launched its environmental management plan, Making Your Mark, in April 2008. Making Your Mark commits Network Ten to:

• greenhouse gas emission reductions of 30 per cent by 2020 from 2006/07 levels
• regular measurement and reporting of the Network's carbon and water footprints
• increased on-air, digital and community initiatives to raise environmental awareness and inspire people to take positive climate change action
• support for not-for-profit environmental partners worth more than $1 million in air-time; and
• collaboration with suppliers, employees, governments and the wider industry to improve ways of doing business in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.
