At Optus, our purpose is to power optimism with options and our vision is to become Australia’s most loved everyday brand with lasting customer relationships. What’s essential to the success of both is sustainability. Our commitment to social and environmental sustainability ensures we are connected to the causes our customers care about. It strengthens the bonds between our company, people, and our communities. It brings everyone together around the shared goal of a future we can all be optimistic about. 

We focus our efforts on six ways to create positive impact on people and planet. Each area has been identified as important to our people and customers because they are the social and environmental challenges, we are well placed to leverage our scale, technology, innovation, skills and energy to make a meaningful impact on. Our six focus areas:

Sustainable innovation

Support for-purpose innovators address social and environmental issues through technology.

Future of work

Build knowledge and skills for people and communities to thrive in an ever-changing digital world.

Equity and inclusion

Protect and champion diversity and inclusion, as well as the human rights of all people in our organisation and supply chain.

Climate action

Support and enable the shift to a net zero world.

Circular economy

Set the standard in reducing waste and transitioning to a circular economy.

Digital enablement

Empower vulnerable and disadvantaged Australians, as well as young people and their families, to thrive in the digital world.

Protecting our environment

At Optus, we recognise our role in connecting our community to a low carbon future and keeping them safe during times of natural disasters.

We have a long history of working to improve the environmental performance of our operations and supporting our community to join us on the journey towards a sustainable and resilient future. 

We focus our efforts on two areas: Climate Action and Circular Economy

Climate action - Climate change presents urgent challenges for business, governments, and society. It is our priority to understand, mitigate and manage the material risks that we can address through strategic action.

Circular economy - We are embracing the ‘circular economy’ principles as a key component of a future in which our growing population can live more sustainably. We are doing this by prioritising the reduction of resources first and foremost, the elimination of waste to landfill by reusing or recycling resources where possible, and the increased use of regenerative resources. We are taking a strong stance on minimising the impact of our goods and services on the environment and community. Our approach takes a life-cycle view encompassing the environmental impact before products reach our stores, during our operations and after their useful life.
