Sustainability UnitCare is working towards social and environmental sustainability in its business. It all came about at Adelaide’s wonderful Festival of Ideas in July 2005. There we were motivated by the idea of a business having three major sustainable elements being financial, social and environmental. Whilst our directors and staff had always been aware of our social and environmental responsibilities we needed to make a concerted effort. we hope that many of our clients, both Strata & Community Corporations and individuals, will join us on this exciting and necessary journey.

Social: We..

• conduct our business with integrity.
• champion the cause of fair and honest dealings in our industry
  
• volunteer our services regularly
  
• contribute to needy people
  
• create a secure and meaningful working environment for our staff
  

Environment: We are making progress through..

Managing or power consumption to reduce greenhouse gasses. This includes running our air conditioning system at higher tempratures during Summer and lower in Winter. We are on Green Power with AGL, our electricity supplier

We are supporting Trees for Life www.treesforlife.org.au, a marvellous organisation that has thousands of volunteers growing and planting native vegetation to reduce greenhouse gases and promote biodiversity. This will in some degree make up for the resources we use and gases we cause to be emitted.

We are shredding then recycling all waste paper using Shredlogix, so reducing the refuse we put in the rubbish bin.

We use Reflex Recycled paper stock and print our letterhead on part recycled paper

We are recycling our printer toner cartridges through Planet Ark. This is done through major post offices.
