  SITA has also achieved accreditation under the Australian Standard AS4801 for its Occupational Health and Safety system.
  
• The facility is also giving something back to the community in the way of ‘Green Energy’. The facility provides green energy to 2000 homes across the City of Casey. This green energy is produced from facility biogas which is converted into electricity and then fed back into the powergrid, providing significant environmental benefits including reduced greenhouse gas emissions and less reliance on fossil fuels for power generation.
