Our Environment » Leichhardt

Leichhardt is committed to taking all necessary measures to protect and minimise the environmental impact of our activities. Leichhardt continually strives to improve environmental performance and create a culture where everyone in the business makes the right decision every time and contributes to achieving our environmental commitments.

We recognise our environmental obligations and the sensitive ecosystems in the areas we operate. We closely monitor the evolving needs and expectations for environmental protection and aim to adapt to these to the best of our ability to support biodiversity protection. Our approach references the factors and objectives of the Environmental Protection Authority - Sea, Land, Water, Air and People.

Leichhardt is committed to producing salt using sustainable and environmentally responsible technologies and methods.

Solar salt allows for sustainable and environmentally conscious production. Our operations derive 98% of the energy required to crystallise the salt from sunlight and wind energy.

Sustainability Focus

Leichhardt is committed to delivering an operational sustainability strategy.

A sustainability strategy that reflects the UN Sustainable Development Goals is in development, with a focus on clean energy, climate action, responsible production and consumption, and life below water.

Climate Change

Leichhardt is committed to driving reductions in greenhouse gas emissions towards net zero.

We accept the need to limit the increase in global average temperature to no more than 1.5⁰ above pre-industrial levels and recognise the challenges to mitigate and adapt to climate change. We will put policy into practice, striving for net zero emissions by 2050.
