WSP’s Online Solutions team specialise in transforming complex environmental information into user friendly solutions through online platforms. These help individuals and organisations across the world make appropriate and sustainable environmental decisions.

The Award seeks to recognise Australians striving for excellence. Andrew Sweatman, General Manager for WSP Environmental in Australia, who leads the Online Solutions team says:

“Today, two forces are shaping society: the explosion of the internet and environmental constraints such as climate change. By harnessing the potential of online systems we are able to help society move towards a more sustainable position”.

“Our services make environmental issues easier to understand and help empower others to be able to take actions. We have moved beyond just understanding the problem to taking action.”

The Sustainable Services award was part of the 3rd DuPont Australia & New Zealand Innovation Awards. The biennial DuPont Innovation Awards Program is an Australian & New Zealand independently judged competition, launched in 2004. It is the first year that a Sustainable Services category was part of the awards, making it a unique win for WSP Environmental. DuPont Australia New Zealand Manager Managing Director, Hutch Ranck commented, “This year’s awards saw seven innovative companies and individuals recognised for their ground breaking innovations, which are set to deliver major benefits to the markets they operate in”, Ranck said. “The DuPont Award recognises the innovations we have developed in the area of information technology and sustainability and further encourages our work to help expand our services and develop new offerings” said a delighted Andrew Sweatman.

As we continue to develop and improve Greenfly we hope to minimise the impact further changes have on existing users.

In a future update, we will work out this distance for you with a built-in calculator tool.  Watch this space…
