Turning the report into action

The report offers us with an important opportunity to reflect on all the great work and progress we’ve achieved while identifying areas where more can be done to ensure we are leaving a positive impact on the communities we contribute our services toward. Below is how we’ve turned ESG into action, delivering real results with impact:

Environmental Performance

In the 2024-25 financial year, BRS’ total scope 1 and 2 emissions were estimated at 98.2 tonnes, a decrease of 17.4 tonnes compared to our FY2023-24 estimate of 115.6 tonnes. According to Carbon Australia’s estimates where 4 trees per tonne is required to offset carbon emissions, BRS will arrange to plant 393 trees.

Social Engagement

BRS believes all communities should have access to high quality services, so our talented team provides pro bono services to an array of not-for-profit organisations. In the past, these services have extended to Women’s shelters and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Housing organisations.

We also have a long history of supporting charity causes, including supporting North West Disability Services, Cancer Council, The Mark Hughes Foundation, and Push for Better Foundation and Hope in a Suitcase to name a few.

In 2025, BRS became the named Sponsor of the BRS Far North Coast Rugby Union (FNCRU) Women’s Cup. The competition aims to remove recurrent challenges including social, economic and cultural barriers for women to participate in sport, including rugby.

Governance

In the capable hands of our leadership team, BRS has spearheaded growth in major cities and regional areas. Our leadership team is committed to not only creating better communities outside of BRS but also within; fostering an uplifting, supportive and engaging company culture is of huge importance to us.

We know that providing our team with a healthy work-life balance, job satisfaction and flexibility is at the core of our success as a business, enabling us to commit time and money toward delivering better environmental outcomes for the communities in which we work.

Prioritising these initiatives has strengthened our already talented team, supporting their ability to provide our clients with services backed by expertise and experience.
