Greenfleet Initiative

Since 2010, as part of our commitment to the environment and the community, in conjunction with our Sydney Water Tender, Benedict committed to regular contributions to Greenfleet. This collaboration has ensured the realisation of our vision of ‘leaving the land in better shape than when we found it’. Over the past several years, our regular donations to Greenfleet have supported the establishment of biodiverse forests whilst offsetting our emissions.

Additionally, tens of thousands of trees have been established by our ongoing site rehabilitation programs.

The year Benedict started supporting Greenfleet and participating in their Carbon Offset Program.

Site Rehabilitation

Benedict leads the way in research and innovative solutions and technologies that minimize land degradation, reducing negative human impact, rehabilitating degraded areas and ensuring the optimal use of land resources for the benefit of present and future generations.

Benedict’s forward thinking and planning initiatives, environmental resources, management policies and environmental protection initiatives create a more sustainable environment and minimising existing land-use conflicts.

Rehabilitating our sites using high quality and sustainable materials ensures an improved environment for generations to come and at the same time offers substantial economic and social benefits for the community.
