    Materials & supply chain

    Being responsible at every step.

    We realise that our impact extends beyond our operations to our supply chain. It's why we're on a mission to source safe, renewable and responsible materials, and we're working with our supply chain to make this a reality.

    At Burwood Brickworks in suburban Melbourne, we’ve delivered the world’s most sustainable shopping centre. In April 2021, Burwood Brickworks was awarded the Living Building Challenge® Petal Certification by the International Living Future Institute – the first retail centre in the world to attempt and achieve this. In March 2021, we also launched our first Modern Slavery Statement. Our Statement, developed in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2018, commits our businesses to diving deeper into our supply chains, collaborating even more closely with our suppliers to understand their relationships, to be more readily able to identify and mitigate modern slavery risks in our operations and those of the organisations we work with.

    We have long term goals, plus short term targets that we refresh every two years. For Materials and Supply Chain, our long term goal is: By 2030, we aim to have a healthy, safe, responsible and renewable supply chain.
