Sustainability
At BMD, we’re shaping futures and creating legacies. Our commitment to caring for our people, communities and environment has remained at the heart of our organisation for over 45 years.
Our approach
From prioritising the safety and wellbeing of our workforce to driving environmental excellence through innovation, and partnering with sports teams, surf clubs and local charities, BMD has a long and unique history of supporting our people and local communities.
Across our projects and operations, BMD strives to safeguard and improve the environments we operate in. We are focused on optimising our environmental performance through rigorous compliance and strong leadership. This is further supported by our continued investment in industry-leading trials, including cleaner fuel sources and technologies to improve our waste and circular economy outcomes.
To ensure business sustainability, we are consistently developing growth and diversification strategies, maintaining ethical and compliant processes, and leveraging technology to achieve positive economic outcomes for our clients, partners, and communities.
