Regenerative economy

We’re supporting nature, improving biodiversity and contributing to a circular economy

Redefining waste as a resource, and the environment as essential

We’re building circularity into the way we do business, and maximising the useful life of our assets. Our goal is to have a net positive impact on the nature & biodiversity of the communities in which we operate, to preserve the planet for future generations.

We’ll be Nature Positive in operations by 2025 and in operations and construction by 2030. We are also aiming to achieve Zero Waste to landfill by 2030*

Expanding our tree planting, habitat regeneration, and biodiversity offset programs
Avoiding waste sent to landfill and finding better ways to reuse and recycle through innovative partnerships and internal. behaviour change campaigns
Engaging suppliers to improve circularity across our supply chain
Integrating Sustainability by Design principles into our project life cycl

Supporting targets

Nature Positive in operations by 2025
Expand environmental leadership monitoring and evaluation measures to include material environmental metrics (pollutants, hazardous waste, water use) by 2026
Align with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)
90% waste diverted from landfill by 2025
Fully integrated life cycle principles through Sustainability by Design by 2030
100% direct suppliers (tier 1) engaged to provide enhanced sustainability data and reporting by 2030

Partnering to realise a regenerative future

At Endeavour Energy, our approach to circularity and achieving our nature positive target is always evolving. We are constantly exploring ways to continue to increase maturity, partner for success and improve approaches towards impact-based methods.

In 2023 we trialled a partnership with technology startup Xylo Systems to enhance the impact of our tree planting. Xylo’s technology tracked the abundance of local flora and fauna in different areas, read more about this case study here.

Also in 2023, we identified a partnership opportunity with Sircel Recycling to improve the recycling of replaced streetlights – a process which previously required dismantling by hand and on-site separation of materials. Since launching this partnership, we have:

Upgraded 120,000 lights, with 3,000 more to go
Processed over 470kg of streetlight waste
Diverted 99.2% of streetlight waste from landfill
Supported the circular economy by redirecting the recovered e-waste to other industries, such as manufacturing, furniture, farming and downstream to new products.
