Department of Finance and Deregulation

57 vehicles

245 tonnes of CO2-e

The role of the Commonwealth Department of Finance and Deregulation (Finance) is to help the Australian Government achieve its policy objectives by contributing to four key outcomes: sustainable Government finances; improved and more efficient Government operations; efficiently functioning Parliament; and effective and efficient use of information and communication technology by the Australian Government.

Finance is committed to environmentally sustainable business practices. Finance recycles paper and cardboard, printer cartridges, plastics, metals, glass, Ni-cd batteries, mobile phones and fluorescent tubes. Finance also, wherever practical, recycles building fit-out materials, furniture and stores. Recycled paper is also widely used across the department.

In line with its commitment to environmental sustainability and its objective of improved environmental performance, Finance has subscribed its executive and operational fleet vehicles to the Greenfleet Australia program. For the Finance fleet of 57 vehicles this represents the annual abatement of 245.1 tonnes of CO2 through the planting of 915 trees.
