Sustainability is not just a buzzword—it’s a responsibility we all share. As Australians, we are fortunate to live in a country with incredible natural beauty, but with that comes a duty to protect it for future generations.

At GJK Facility Services, we’ve made sustainability a core part of our business. We’ve set ambitious targets, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, because we believe that businesses must lead by example. Reducing our environmental impact isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s essential for the long-term success of our industries, our communities, and our planet.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that sustainability doesn’t happen overnight. It’s about making small, consistent changes that add up over time. From using eco-friendly cleaning products to reducing waste and improving energy efficiency, every step matters. These aren’t just corporate strategies—they are commitments that reflect our values and the kind of world we want to leave behind.

I also believe in collaboration. Real change happens when businesses, government, and individuals work together. That’s why we partner with organizations that share our vision for a greener future. Through innovation and shared responsibility, we can drive solutions that benefit both the economy and the environment.

For me, sustainability is personal. It’s about ensuring that my children, and their children, inherit a world that is thriving—not struggling to recover from our mistakes. It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress.

I encourage everyone—businesses, families, individuals—to think about how they can contribute. Whether it’s reducing waste, supporting sustainable businesses, or making smarter energy choices, we all have a role to play. Because when we care for our environment, we are investing in a better future for everyone.
