With our huge inventory of new, used and rental equipment, WesTrac has the right machine for the job.
Aspiration
To play a leading role in each of our sectors in meeting the Paris Agreement’s goal to limit global temperature rises to well below 2 degrees.
WesTrac has committed to the ambitious target of achieving net zero scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, with interim targets of a 30% reduction by 2026 and a 50% reduction by 2030, on a 2020 baseline.
WesTrac has activated our net zero roadmaps to achieve these targets, including seeking ways to reduce our energy consumption, generate and store renewable energy, and source renewable energy as well as electrifying suitable parts of our business. While WesTrac will continue making progress towards these targets using our current modelled pathway, we also acknowledge that with rapidly evolving technology and innovative thinking, these roadmaps will evolve to suit contemporary technology.
Our current focus is on our internal scope 1 and 2 emissions however we acknowledge the value of collaborating with our suppliers and customers to reduce carbon throughout the supply chain. This will be done by continuing to expand our low-carbon machine offerings, training our customers to maximise fuel efficiency in machines, and considering supply chain emissions when selecting our suppliers.
Key focus areas
- Energy efficiency
- Renewable energy generation, storage and sourcing
- Electrification

Targeting Zero Emissions in Mining
Mining is subject to a range of regulations and public scrutiny when it comes to improving sustainability. There are no specific metrics to identify just how far miners need to go – but as this whitepaper discusses, it is a process of continual improvement, and stakeholders at every stage in the supply chain have a role to play.
