1. Overview
Gajawari KW is committed to managing the environmental impact of its mining, civil, and construction operations. We work closely with clients to ensure alignment with relevant standards, legislation, and project-specific requirements. This policy outlines how environmental performance is integrated across all phases of our work, supported by internal systems, procedures, and behavioural expectations.
2. Planning
Environmental planning is integrated from project inception through delivery and finalisation. This includes the identification of obligations, risk mitigation strategies, and the application of a hierarchy of controls—eliminate, substitute, and mitigate—designed to minimise environmental and community impacts throughout execution.
3. Integrated Systems
Our Integrated Management System (IMS) forms the foundation of consistent environmental management across all operations. It ensures structured delivery of environmental outcomes and facilitates alignment with internal policies, industry benchmarks, and client-side expectations.
4. Performance Monitoring
We track environmental compliance and performance metrics continuously. Internal monitoring frameworks promote positive site behaviour and reinforce a culture of responsibility, aligning daily practices with project standards to support high-quality outcomes and long-term sustainability goals.
5. Accountability
Environmental objectives and targets are reviewed annually. We pursue solutions that improve environmental and social outcomes across all worksites. Contractors, personnel, and delivery partners are expected to meet these standards, with the necessary skills, tools, and equipment, as well as competency in relevant systems and methods, considered a baseline requirement.
6. Compliance
Our environmental management approach adheres to ISO 14001:2015. Compliance with this standard is monitored and audited to support ongoing improvement of both environmental performance and business efficiency, demonstrating the commitment shown by Gajawari KW’s management to continual improvement.
7. Operational Scope
The environmental aspects covered by our management framework include, but are not limited to:
- Land clearing
- Excavation and trenching
- Administrative resource use (e.g., paper, toner)
- Fleet management
- Various on-site activities
This list represents recurring impact areas and informs our control and mitigation planning.
