Environmentally Friendly

This year's event will once again incorporate several environmentally conscious innovations. All drinking cups along the route will be recyclable and there will be co-mingling rubbish bins at the Run for the Kids village in the Kings Domain.

CityLink

Transurban, the owner of CityLink, has a long standing commitment to sustainability. Our approach to sustainability is framed around what we call the 'four pillars' of sustainability – marketplace, communities, the environment and employees.

Transurban is committed to understanding the impacts of our business across all of these pillars and doing something about them – enhancing positive impacts and minimising negative ones, engaging with communities and responding to their concerns.
