Committed to the planet
As a government trading enterprise, The Perth Mint has a role to play in the Government of Western Australia’s commitment to preserve our natural environment and support the transition to a carbon neutral future.
We take a proactive approach to the management of our environmental risks and compliance with our legislative obligations, recognising our responsibility to minimise the impact of our operations on the natural environment.
Our approach includes commitment to meeting the expectations and requirements of all our stakeholders, including the communities in which we operate.
Management systems
We recognise all aspects of refining, manufacturing and shipping of our products can have a significant impact on the environment if not well managed, and we have implemented an Environmental Management System to assess, monitor and improve our performance.
Greenhouse gas emissions and energy
We have elected to voluntarily report scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions following the Australian National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) methodology as a measurement framework.
We apply an operational control approach to set our organisational boundary (our emissions reporting boundary). This means our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions comprised activities over which we have direct operational control.
In 2024-25, we engaged Bureau Veritas to perform an independent assurance report.

Climate change
We recognise the importance of identifying climate change risks and opportunities and have embedded this approach into our work. To understand our vulnerabilities and
opportunities we conducted a first pass qualitative climate change risk assessment to identify physical and transitional risks and opportunities.
