Responsible Procurement
Our policies and guidelines reflect best practice and encourage competition, innovation and transparency in our procurement activities.
Key principles include encouraging solutions which promote sustainability and achieve value for money whilst ensuring that procurement activities do not disadvantage local suppliers – and maximises the objectives of the Tasmanian Government Buy Local Policy. Solutions must also aim to support TasNetworks’ corporate strategies, including those related to safety, sustainability, protection of the environment, and corporate social responsibility.

Protecting our threatened birdlife
We're passionate about protecting our iconic Tasmanian wildlife and are working hard to minimise risks that our overhead poles and wires pose to birds of prey, such as Wedge-tailed Eagles, Grey Goshawks and White-bellied Sea Eagles.

This includes the essential resources we use during the construction, maintenance and replacement of network and telecommunications assets, as well as waste associated with day to day work and the provision of IT and fleet services.
