ISO 45001

We conducted an external surveillance audit for our ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems certification, reinforcing our commitment to health and safety standards.

4.0 Millions Hours

We proudly reached a significant milestone of over 4.0
million hours lost-time injury-free, underscoring our dedication to a safe and supportive workplace
.

During FY24, while our contractor management processes have been in place for our projects, significant improvements were made to align and interface our main contractors to the Zenith management systems. This included direct involvement by our contractors in the project risk assessments, the alignment of contractors to utilise, one project health and safety management plan and to interface our Zenith documents for use in inspection, system tools and common reporting on our project sites.

By improving this process, we have a greater level of safety and risk control over our projects together with a higher level of understanding and co-operation between Zenith Energy and our contractors.

Reconciliation Action Plan

Zenith Energy embarked on its reconciliation journey in 2022 with the launch of a Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Looking ahead, Zenith is preparing to advance its reconciliation efforts with the introduction of the Innovate RAP. This plan represents a deepened commitment to enhancing cultural awareness and inclusivity across the organisation.

Combating Modern Slavery

Zenith Energy is dedicated to identifying and mitigating modern slavery risks within its operations and supply chain. The Modern Slavery Policy outlines actions such as supplier risk assessments, due diligence, and training. In FY24, Zenith developed a procedure involving supplier risk assessments, Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs), and corrective plans for high-risk suppliers. The process prioritizes suppliers based on risk ratings, with self-assessment questionnaires integrated into the onboarding of new suppliers.

Customer Focus

Zenith Energy is committed to being an ESG enabler for our clients in the delivery of reliable and cost-effective power. This is aligned with the highest priorities of our clients and how we are delivering client value. Collaborative innovation is central to our renewable energy projects, ensuring sustainable solutions that align with both client and community goals. Through our PPAs, we also adhere to our clients’ environmental and social policies. We actively gather feedback through satisfaction surveys and Net Promoter Scores (NPS), using these insights to refine our services and enhance customer satisfaction.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Zenith Energy operates in a male-dominated industry, where the pool of qualified female candidates in engineering and trades is relatively small, making it challenging to recruit women for these roles. Despite these challenges, we have successfully increased female workforce participation from 13% to 17% in FY24. We plan to publicly endorse Zenith’s gender commitment through the ‘Equal by 30’ campaign.

Targets:

Increase female representation to 30% by FY30.
