ENERGY which is great , but there are further opportunities to explore . The ultimate target is zero waste and the next waste stream we ’ re looking at is recycling our gaming cards ,” Wood says .
“ Across all of our Australian resorts we ’ re also introducing a building optimisation system that monitors the building ’ s performance and energy consumption instantaneously , with a number of algorithms in place to see where things can be improved . Instead of using human resources to monitor these processes , it ’ s automated – so the system might be able to see that someone left a fan on over the weekend in an empty room that should be switched off . This will be taking off in a big way over the next couple of years and
we ’ re looking forward to seeing what we can achieve with this type of ‘ building diagnostic ’ optimisation .”
As signatories to the Australian Packaging Covenant , they are also always looking for opportunities to leverage a sustainable supply chain , Wood adds .
“ The level we want to go to is : where is the oil generated , to make the wrapping , which goes around the fruit that gets delivered to our restaurants ? And where does that wrapper go afterwards ? It ’ s a massive , massive journey and we only really began it in the last year or so . We ’ re developing a five-year road map and this is just the beginning of our sustainable supply chain journey .”
