Our approach

Every day at Ampcontrol, we look for ways to be more sustainable in our approach to work. As a large, advanced Australian manufacturing business, we are acting to drive sustainability efforts across our supply chains.

Our business relies heavily on large, global supply chains for the products and services we deliver to our customers. We are responsible for creating positive impacts through our purchasing decisions and engagement with our suppliers.

Through collaboration as a supply chain, we can improve outcomes relating to human rights, carbon emissions, circular economies, and supporting social and diverse enterprises.

Sustainable businesses embrace long-term, balanced thinking. Balancing our economic, social, and environmental objectives ensures that Ampcontrol will thrive for future generations.

3 Year Sustainability Goals

Our Plan

Moving towards our vision of sustainable business has required us to embrace transformative change. It has taken both developing our means and increasing our ambition, adopting frameworks that allow us to proactively manage risk and identify opportunities for positive impact.

We create lasting change by having the means and the ambition underpinned by strong governance and risk management frameworks. 

Our 2024-2026 plan is centred on these goals, with the mission of impacting sustainable change in our business and industry.

Sustainability Advantage Program

We became a member of Sustainability Advantage in 2021, a program for medium and large organisations to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices and nurture leadership in sustainability. The program is administered by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment and includes a network of over 250 organisations.

In 2025 Ampcontrol became a Silver Project Partner of Sustainability Advantage in acknowledgement of its sustainability commitment and significant achievements.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Increasing our Ambition

We’ve adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of our broader sustainability program focus. We have identified six priority goals where we can have the most impact. 

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. The aim is to achieve universal health coverage, and provide access to safe and affordable medicines and vaccines for all.

Increased investment in health systems is needed to support countries in their recovery and build resilience against future health threats.
SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Expanding infrastructure and upgrading technology to provide clean energy in all developing countries is a crucial goal that can both encourage growth and help the environment.

To ensure access to energy for all by 2030, we must accelerate electrification, increase investments in renewable energy, improve energy efficiency and develop enabling policies and regulatory frameworks.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.

The creation of quality jobs remain a major challenge for almost all economies. Achieving Goal 8 will require a wholesale reform of the financial system to tackle rising debts, economic uncertainty and trade tensions, while promoting equitable pay and decent work for young people.
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation.

Investments in infrastructure – transport, irrigation, energy and information and communication technology – are crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities in many countries.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

In 2022, 67 national governments reported to the United Nations Environment Programme on the implementation of sustainable public procurement policies and action plans, a 50 per cent increase from 2020.
SDG 13: Climate Action
SDG 13: Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

Affordable, scalable solutions are now available to enable countries to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient, and low-carbon economies.

Climate change is a global challenge that requires coordinated international cooperation.

Oversight and accountability

To deliver on our sustainability goals and support the energy transition, we’ve established thorough governance and risk management frameworks to ensure the responsible management of risks and targets as we move towards a more environmentally and socially conscious future.

Our Directors and Management are committed to and responsible for the overall Corporate Governance of Ampcontrol. The Ampcontrol Board is ultimately responsible for oversight of sustainability-related risks and opportunities.

We welcome feedback and further engagement on our approach to sustainability at Ampcontrol. Should you have any questions or feedback, or want to learn more about specific sustainability initiatives, please contact the Ampcontrol Sustainability Team.

Governance & Risk Management

Our Risk Management Framework provides the tools and methodology to identify potential events that could adversely impact Ampcontrol. The Ampcontrol Risk Management Framework is based on the International Standard, adopted by Standards Australia AS/NZS ISO 31000 (Risk Management – Principles & Guidelines), and utilises the key risk management principles outlined in this framework.

OPERATING EMISSIONS, TARGETS & RESULTS

We have set challenging emissions reduction targets which aim to go beyond the agreed decarbonisation pathways to limit warming to well below 2 degrees (preferably 1.5 degrees) on pre-industrial levels.

Ampcontrol has an ambitious target of achieving net zero emissions by 2040, with an interim target of 60% reduction of absolute greenhouse emissions by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. We achieved strong gains in our Net Zero journey in 2025, reaching a cumulative total of 49% reduction in operating emissions since 2020. This represents a 16% reduction from the previous year and places us 19% ahead of the linear pathway towards our 2030 target. We can achieve these targets through changes made within our own business, and by providing innovative solutions to help customers meet their own net zero targets.
