approach to business management and has developed
its Sustainability Strategy to focus on the areas of climate
change and sustainable resource use.
Westralia Airports Corporation has the following objectives
to guide management on the issues of climate change and
sustainable resource use:
• provide leadership in the area of sustainability;
• assess and mitigate the risks of both direct and indirect
impacts of climate change; and
• sustainable use of resources.
