Air
Showcase your efforts to improve air quality through dust minimisation, noise management initiatives, or odour... controls that you have in place to minimise impact on local amenity.
Decent Work
Sustained economic growth has been promoted. With higher levels of productivity and technological innovation a...nd encouraging entrepreneurship and the creation of jobs are key as they are effective measures to remove forced labour, slavery and human trafficking. Bearing these in mind, the goal is to achieve productive employment with decent work for all people irrespective of gender.
Energy
Map your sustainability efforts that are related to green or renewable energy sustainability efforts. For exam...ple, Solar Panels, Green Power, LED Lighting, Wind, Green Fuels, etc.
Gender Equality
Elimination of all discrimination against women and girls is crucial for a sustainable future. Empowering wom...en helps with economic growth and development. It is important to give women equal rights. Today encouraging more women leaders will help achieve greater gender equality.
Health And Safety
Sustainability is more than just environmental protection. This means an organisation cannot be sustainable wi...thout protecting the safety, health, and welfare of people. Map the health and safety values on your site that could include first aid kits, emergency showers, defibrillators, or any items that improve health and safety.
Heritage
Cultural heritage comprises exceptional natural and cultural places that contribute to a country’s national id...entity. It can include historic buildings, structures, and places that reflect architectural history and cultural development, including convict-built sites, colonial-era structures, significant urban landmarks, and heritage-listed items. If these exist on your property showcase them on the epar SMART Map.
Indigenous Culture
The heritage of First Nations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including their ancient traditio...ns, art, languages, sacred sites, and archaeological remains are unique and they must be protected and preserved for future generations. Please map any indigenous heritage items that are on your site.
Infrastructure
Sustainable infrastructure are items that are planned, designed, constructed, or operated in a manner that ens...ures economic and financial, social, environmental outcomes. Examples include car charging stations, cycleways, walking tracks, pollution protection measures (bunds), silt traps, wastewater recycling units. Please map any sustainability related infrastructure on your site.
Managed Turf Areas
Urban green spaces provide important ecological, environmental, and cultural benefits, including biodiversity ...conservation and human wellbeing. Managing urban green spaces can have a multitude of ecosystem benefits such as biodiversity conservation, stormwater infiltration, and aesthetics, and health and wellbeing. If you are managing turf and green open spaces include it on the SMART Map.
Our SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals adopted by all United Nations Member Sta...tes and are a universal call to action to protect people and the planet. Where your business and operational practices are actively aligning with the SDGs to contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive world, you can map and showcase the relevant SDGs on the epar SMART Map. Through initiatives focused on environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic empowerment, if your organisation is making tangible progress towards the SDGs we are proud to showcase your commitments on the epar SMART map. This will provide stakeholders with transparent insights into your sustainability efforts and demonstrate your dedication to driving positive change on a local and global scale.
Partnerships
Partnerships between private and public bodies bring our goals closer to achievement. As we work together towa...rds the same goals, we have the power to achieve them all. Sharing Goals mean sharing a vision too. Ending poverty, battling inequality and paralyzing global warming are ambitions we all strive for. This is all about making partnerships built upon collaboration. When all unite and take action, great goals are achieved.
Quality Education
Reaffirming that education is one of the most powerful and proven goals of sustainable development, this goal ...ensures that all girls and boys complete free primary and secondary schooling by 2030. It aims to provide equal access to affordable vocational training, to eliminate wealth / gender disparities, and achieve universal access to a quality higher education.
Reduce Inequalities
Income inequality certainly requires global solutions. This involves improving the regulations and monitoring ...of markets. This also involves the encouragement of development assistance. Facilitating the safe migration and mobility of people is also important.
Vegetation And Habitat
Native vegetation provides essential habitat for plant and animal species, and is an integral component of hea...lthy, functioning ecosystems. Your efforts to protect, manage and enhance healthy ecosystems are key to managing declining biodiversity. Use the SMART Map to showcase items that might include native grasses, mangroves, wetlands, riparian zones, woodlands, coastal areas, rainforest, open forest, waterways, known frog habitat.
Waste
Sustainable waste management is a central part of a broader circular economy. Tell the community what sustaina...ble actions you are taking in relation to waste management. For example, here you can map your green waste, food waste, paper and cardboard recycling efforts, oil storage for recycling, composting and many more.
Water
Water is at the core of sustainability. Share your sustainability initiatives that relate to important water u...se, water quality protection, or water conservation. Items to map can include dams or water bodies on your site, water testing sites, water tanks that collect stormwater, the use of drought tolerant grass or plant species, effluent use on your site, irrigation systems management.
Wildlife
Wildlife conservation involves protecting animal species and this is critical for a sustainable future. Your p...roperty could play an important role in the fight against the extinction of many species and here you can map and share the wildlife on your property. This could include bees, bird species, possums, bandicoots, gliders, lizards, snakes, frogs, and many other fauna.
