IP Australia’s Environmental Management System
What is IP Australia doing to be more green?
IP Australia is committed to minimising its greenhouse gases impact. It is focussed on conducting its operations in an environmentally responsible manner, clearly reflecting a responsibility to fostering the sustainable use of resources.
IP Australia has developed and implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) across the organisation and has achieved ISO 14001 certification for its Environmental Management System (EMS). At the time of the achievement, IP Australia was one of the first IP offices globally to achieve the certification.
What is ISO 14001 and how does it helps us to be green?
ISO 14001 is an international best practice standard for managing an organisation's impact on the environment. It provides a structured approach to planning and implementing environmental protection measures and supporting improved environmental outcomes. In order to gain certification, IP Australia is assessed by an independent auditor as meeting all of the requirements set out under the Standard and is reviewed on an ongoing basis.
 Therefore ISO 14001 certification provides a framework for an organisation wishing to operate in an environmentally sustainable manner. It ensures that the system continues to improve and as a result the organisation continues to implement initiatives and strategies to improve its environmental impacts.
ISO 14001 standard is identifiable by the certification logo.
It’s easy being green – you can do it too!
IP Australia has implemented many initiatives across the organisation to reduce its impacts on environmental aspects including energy, water, recycling and waste.
IP Australia is continuing to implement initiatives across the workplace and is working with its customers and suppliers to help collectively improve our environment. We encourage both customers and suppliers to work with us where possible to help reduce impacts.
