ecoBiz Partner Biography
AIM's Vivienne Anthon receiving their ecoBiz Partner certificate from Minister Darling
The Australian Institute of Management - Queensland and Northern Territory (AIM) is a not for profit entity providing education services and management consulting from their office in Springhill. Rather than making a lot of changes all at once, AIM introduced various eco-efficiency initiatives over a three year period, to prevent interruptions to their business. After installing energy efficient lighting and timers on air conditioning, they upgraded all toilet cisterns to dual flush models. They are now in the midst of upgrading their air conditioning units throughout the site, among other measures.
