Manufacturing & Innovation

RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING PRACTICES

As we seek to lead the global energy revolution, we’re focused on delivering solutions that not only support decarbonisation efforts but are manufactured through responsible means. We’re aligning our manufacturing practices with SDG 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns, developing strategies supporting responsible procurement, production, and waste reduction.

Responsible supply chains

Ampcontrol is looking towards local and diverse procurement, developing responsible patterns that ensure we are sourcing our materials, equipment and services from businesses that align with our sustainability strategies and support ethical practices. We are building responsible supply chains through the roll out of Responsible Supply Chain Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, and Modern Slavery framework.

Landfill Waste Reduction

As a business, Ampcontrol manufactures products and operates in large supply chains—we need to make every effort to reduce or reuse our waste. We have a target of 60% landfill waste diversion in FY24 which pushes us towards zero waste and aligns with Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) targets.

Invest in Energy Transition

We’re constantly challenging the future of energy, advancing our equipment and services to usher our customers in their decarbonisation journey. We have allocated a significant portion of our total group capital expenditure to support energy innovations to help make net zero a reality. 

With a culture of innovation, and the proficiencies to solve complex clean energy problems, we believe that, through collaboration, we can design and manufacture the solutions needed to help aid decarbonisation across the industry.

Collaborative Innovation

Working with a network of thought-leaders and world-changers helps us deliver innovations that can transform the world. We’re dedicated to leading the global energy revolution but understand this ambitious goal can’t be achieved alone. We aim to bring about disruptive innovations that reshape energy consumption and usage through collaboration, ingenuity, and advanced manufacturing capabilities. 

Innovation can’t occur in isolation—we work with our customers to build long-term relationships that allow us to understand and solve their unique challenges in energy. 

Responsible Production

Ampcontrol is engaging in responsible production processes, from addressing packaging targets to developing a circular business model that eliminates landfill waste. 

We signed up to Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Targets as part of our commitment to introducing more environmentally conscious business practices. This program, managed by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) is leading the development of a circular economy for packaging within Australia. At our Cameron Park, NSW site, we create our own hex wrap packaging fill from recovered cardboard packaging. This sustainable alternative to bubble wrap or foam, allows us to reduce our use of single-use plastic packaging.

We’re shifting our company towards a circular business model exploring options to reutilise materials and resources at each stage of our manufacturing process.
