  • introduced a Financial Hardship Policy for Australian customers
  • achieved an 83 per cent employee engagement score in the annual employee survey
  • more than 28 per cent of employees contributed to Transurban’s workplace giving program, which raised around $83,000 for five partner charities
  • The report was independently assured and followed the GRI G3 Framework. GRI has confirmed the report’s G3 ‘A+’ application level.

    For the first time, Transurban was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes World List of sustainable companies and the Carbon Disclosure Project 4 Leaders List (Australia and NZ). It is also a member of the FTSE4Good Index.

    For more than 10 years, Transurban has been a world leader in the development and long-term management of complex toll road infrastructure. Transurban employs around 800 people and has interests in seven roads in Australia and the US.
