Committed to the environment
As a government trading enterprise, The Perth Mint has a role to play in the Government of Western Australia’s commitment to the environment and a carbon neutral future.
We strive to minimise our impact to the environment at our two sites – the refinery near Perth Airport and the original premises and head office in Hay Street, East Perth.
Our Sustainability report identified two key areas for benchmarking including air emissions and quality and waste and hazardous materials management.
Carbon reduction roadmap
An audit of our greenhouse gas emissions by an external consultant will form the baseline for becoming a carbon neutral precious metals organisation. While committed to meeting the state government’s 2050 target for net zero emission, we are working with suppliers and other stakeholders to accelerate this time frame.
