Sport is more than a business
investment for Telstra.A great
believer in teamwork, the
company sponsors three of
our most successful national
teams: the Telstra Dolphins
swim squad, Telstra
Hockeyroos women’s hockey
players and Telstra Titans
weightlifters. Swimming is
the highest participation
sport in Australia and the
most watched event during
Olympic and Commonwealth
Games. More than 40 per cent
of Olympic medals won by
Australians have been for
swimming, and Telstra’s
contribution ranges from
providing children with the
opportunity to be coached
in swim clinics by Olympic
stars, such as Susie O’Neill,
to the sponsorship of the
Australian swim team
as a whole.
This year the company
initiated an office waste
management and recycling
program to divert recyclable
wastes produced in offices,
such as paper, toner cartridges
and milk cartons, from landfill.
This program is an integral
part of Telstra’s national waste
management system. An
energy management program
is also underway to maximise
the efficiency of energy use
and minimise greenhouse gas
emissions, enabling Telstra
to actively contribute to
Australia’s targets to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
Telstra’s telecommunication
products also provide
opportunities to improve
environmental performance
by replacing paper-based
information transfer services
with electronic voice, video
and data links.
