Net Zero EMS
In line with the principles values the consultancy is committed to providing services to its client in accordance with an Environmental Management System (EMS).  The EMS has been developed in accordance with ISO standard 140001 and commits to minimise environmental impacts of our activities and services and to achieve net zero emissions from them.  

Workplace Health & Safety System
As a Sole trader consultancy there is no legislative requirement for Watershed Australia to adopt a Workplace Health and Safety System. However potential clients rightly seek to ensure that the consultant and  subcontractors pay due regard to the objects of the legislation and so have developed a WH&S system.  We commit to performing systematic identification of hazards and to manage them with appropriate risk assessments and actions to minimise danger.

​Risk Management Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure the effective and efficient assessment, evaluation and treatment of operational and strategic risks and opportunities.  Risk management practices and procedures are integrated into all consultancy activities and process.
