Earth Day 2025 was a global reminder that the future of our planet lies in the choices we make today. This year’s theme, Our Power, Our Planet, calls on all of us consider switching to renewable energy where possible and take tangible steps to reduce our environmental footprint.
Collective action is powerful, but real progress requires businesses and organisations to lead by example. As stewards of our regional environment, we have a responsibility to both advocate for sustainable practices AND to actively embed it into our operations.
At Reef Catchments, sustainability is fundamental to how we operate, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve. Our recent energy audit highlighted an opportunity to leverage alternative energy sources, driving us to install a 39.6kW solar system at our Mackay office. This system is projected to have the environmental impact equivalent to planting 1,195 trees – a significant step towards reducing our carbon footprint.
This initiative has sparked the creation of a Green Team. This team is now leading the charge in implementing sustainable practices throughout Reef Catchments, ensuring that sustainability becomes an integral part of our organisational culture.
Reef Catchments is committed to driving meaningful change—both through sustainable operations and long-term initiatives that improve, sustain, and enhance our region’s natural resource, now and in the future.
Thank you to Green Energy Technologies for the seamless installation and amazing photos of our new system.
