Australian Institute of Management & Zero Waste SA
Strategic approach to long-term sustainability
The South Australian division of Australian Institute of Management (AIM SA) understands better than most the importance of effective management systems and a strategic approach to implement change.
As a leading South Australian provider of education and training for business professionals, AIM often repeats these messages. So when it took the first steps in a wide-ranging green program in 2005, AIM SA soon recognised the need to integrate sustainability as part of core business. To reach the next stage of its journey AIM SA sought the support of Zero Waste SA and joined the Resource Efficiency Assistance Program (REAP).
ZWSA commissioned a sustainability diagnostic to critically analyse how well AIM SA was progressing with its green program. AIM SA was reassured that it was heading in the right direction and given support on new policies and procedures to lift the program to another level as a strategic business management initiative. Good environmental practice is now part of every staff member's performance assessment and green tips are regularly emailed to keep the sustainable message front of mind for everyone. AIM SA is also integrating eco-efficiency into its training program.
