Environmental Sustainability

At Zoos Victoria, we are committed to leading by example, through environmentally sustainable practices throughout our work place and activities.
As leaders in wildlife conservation and animal care, zoos are in a unique position to showcase environmental sustainability and inspirie our community to take action to reduce their ecological footprint and the natural world. We have dedicated staff implementing a robust Environmental Management System (EMS), supported by organisational policy and strategy to achieve its environmental objectives and targets. As a role model for sustainable practices, we aim to inspire others to do the same.
