Although this has increased the total number of environmental incidents reported, it provides a more complete and granular data set, proactively addresses environmental risks before they manifest, informs the Group’s strategies to prevent future incidents, and further engages IPL’s employees in recognising and managing a broader range of potential environmental impacts: collecting ‘near-miss’ reports helps create a culture that seeks to identify and control hazards before they result in an incident with the potential to impact on the environment.
