AUSTRALIAN ELECTRICITY USE, WATER USE AND DIRECT WASTE TO LANDFILL
The Qantas Group is committed to being an environmentally responsible organisation across all levels and functions of the
business. Targets for reduction of electricity, water and waste diverted directly to landll have brought together a wide range of
activities across all business areas, from corporate ofces to ground operations. Tracking this consumption facilitates the monitoring
of operational efciency and cost savings.
Key Performance Indicators Unit 2013 2012
Electricity (Australia) MWh 222,667 228,424
Water (Australia) ’000 Litres 901,917 975,412
Direct waste to landll (Australia) Tonnes 22,563 24,306
In 2011/2012 the Group refreshed its utility reduction strategy moving to new business unit specic targets. These targets are
aggregated at a Group level to give electricity, water and waste diverted directly to landll 2020 reduction targets of 10, 10 and
20per cent respectively (set against 2009/2010 baseline).
Due to signicant initiatives and business transformation, the Group is close to achieving its 2020 reduction targets, already
delivering a 5.3 per cent decrease in electricity consumption, a 9.8 per cent decrease in water consumption and a 19.7 per cent
decrease in waste diverted directly to landll against the 2009/2010 baseline. Given this early progress, the targets and scope are
being reviewed to continue to drive utility reductions.
6. Community
As Australia’s national carrier, the Group has a responsibility to work with and contribute to the communities in which we operate
and live, and to improve community engagement. The 2013 Sustainability Review outlines the Group’s philanthropic activities.
Furthermore, the Group makes a contribution to the community through national export revenue (bringing overseas visitors into
Australia) and to domestic and regional tourism (carrying passengers within Australia).
Key Performance Indicators Unit 2013 2012
Tourism spending by Qantas Group passengers $M
National export revenue 5,227 5,372
Domestic traveller expenditure 22,732 22,255
In 2012/2013, the Group made a direct contribution to national export revenue of $5.2 billion, 2.7 per cent lower than 2011/2012. The
reduction was driven by a decrease in the number of international visitors brought to Australia by the Qantas Group. This does not
take into account passengers travelling with the Group’s codeshare or alliance partners.
The Group’s contribution to domestic traveller expenditure was 2.1 per cent higher than 2011/2012. This improvement was driven
by an increase in the number of domestic passengers carried by Qantas Group carriers.
