FRV policies

FRV employees need to act in a manner that gives the community, customers, Government, clients and business associates confidence they perform public duties without favouritism or bias, or for personal gain.

FRV is committed to providing emergency response, fire suppression and prevention services in a way that is safe, sustainable and environmentally conscious, and enables the organisation to continue to work effectively within the community.

FRV is committed to reducing the environmental impacts of its office and firefighting operational activities. More detail is included in the Environment Policy 2019.

FRV reports on environmental performance externally through its annual reports.

For further information, please contact FRV and ask to speak to the Environmental Compliance team.

The Modern Slavery Act 2018 came into force on 1 January 2019.

This Act requires entities based or operating in Australia, which have an annual consolidated revenue of more than $100 million, to report annually on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains, and actions to address those risks.

Other entities based, or operating, in Australia may report voluntarily.
