Environmental Sustainability
With increasing challenges set to be posed by climate change, it is crucial the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) (Queensland Section) actions initiatives that reduce our ecological footprint as well as future-proof our organisation.
As a crucial entity straddling both the healthcare and aviation sectors, the RFDS (Queensland Section) confronts a dual spectrum of climate-related risks and opportunities.
By proactively engaging with evolving legislation and policies pertaining to emissions reduction, the organisation is committed to ensuring we can respond to all challenges and remain resilient to climate-related risks into the future.
By embracing innovation and leveraging our expertise, we are confident that we can overcome challenges and seize opportunities to enhance our climate-related sustainability performance while delivering the highest quality of care to those who depend on us.
We have developed three key documents to guide us towards a more sustainable future.
