Sustainability

Sustainability at APA is about enhancing our stakeholder prosperity as we strive to be Australia's number one energy infrastructure business. Our success will be founded upon the strengthening of our asset footprint and the benefits delivered to all stakeholders (customers, employees, the environment, community and investors).

In 2010 APA released its first Sustainability Report as part of the 2010 Annual Review to communicate to our stakeholders APA's long term objectives as well as key business initiatives in place to maintain our success.
