Our approach
to sustainability
Climate change is the challenge of our generation. We do our part by funding the construction of the most energy efficient homes in the market. We influence the behaviour of our supply chain and ensure the procurement of all building and consumable materials is undertaken in a sustainable manner.
We promote sustainable living across the portfolio, by working with our property management teams and tenants, assisting them lower their energy use and reducing waste.
Our daily key operational and management decisions are influenced by our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint.
