(CSRwire) December 11, 2007 - Transurban Group has published its second Sustainability Report. The report covers activities for the financial year 2006/2007 and is available online at http://www.transurban.com.

Developments covered in the report include:

reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 10 per cent on Transurban's greatest source of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions - the CityLink tunnel ventilation system in Melbourne, Australia

developed an in-house traffic model to more accurately assess the GHG emissions savings from travel on Transurban free flow toll roads compared with stop-start alternative routes

introduced a Financial Hardship Policy for Australian customers

achieved an 83 per cent employee engagement score in the annual employee survey

more than 28 per cent of employees contributed to Transurban's workplace giving program, which raised around $83,000 for five partner charities

The report was independently assured and followed the GRI G3 Framework. GRI has confirmed the report's G3 'A+' application level.

For the first time, Transurban was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes World List of sustainable companies and the Carbon Disclosure Project 4 Leaders List (Australia and NZ). It is also a member of the FTSE4Good Index.

For more than 10 years, Transurban has been a world leader in the development and long-term management of complex toll road infrastructure. Transurban employs around 800 people and has interests in seven roads in Australia and the US.
