A global sustainability leader
Delivering stronger, smarter, happier neighbourhoods
Creating a better way to live.
At Frasers Property Australia, social and environmental sustainability is integral to our ambition to create stronger, smarter, happier neighbourhoods that promise greater futures. From site acquisition and project design to delivery, operation, reporting and beyond, we’re guided by a sustainability strategy that reduces our impact on the planet, while improving quality of life for people.
Through fostering resilient communities, carbon-reducing initiatives, responsibly sourcing services and materials, providing clean energy, using green finance and being accountable through independent tools and ratings, we contribute to a better, cleaner future.
Our Priorities
Sustainability priorities evolve constantly. As such, we need to be flexible and resilient. We need to rethink our current systems and technologies to enable sustainable development and to make a difference in a changing world.
We're fostering an innovation culture to develop scalable solutions, and to create adaptable places that will withstand shifts in demographics, climate and lifestyle.
Energy & Carbon
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint in line with the SBTi 1.5°C pathway and future-proofing our properties and communities.
Climate Resilience
Frasers Property Australia is committed to building healthy, resilient communities for today and the future. Our ESG strategy ensures assets are climate-resilient and maintain healthy living conditions during extreme weather.
Integrated Nature
By seamless integration of nature into our development process, we enhance site ecology, reconnect people with nature, and contribute towards improving indoor and outdoor quality.
Responsible Investment and Certification
We validate our initiatives through appropriate certifications and maintain ongoing reporting commitments. We also include environmental, social and governance considerations in all investment proposals. All our developments with built form are either certified under Green Star Communities, Buildings (or Design and As Built) or registered to be certified. All our assets are certified under Green Star Performance certification 4 years achieving their Green Star Buildings (or Design and As Built) Certification.
Materials & Supply Chain
We realise our impact extends beyond our operations to our supply chain. It’s why we are on a mission to source safe and responsible materials and we are working with our supply chain to make this a reality
Efficient use of water and waste management
We build properties and communities focused on minimising resource use and landfill waste. We install efficient water fixtures, promote rainwater capture and/or recycled water use, and implement waste management plans that are monitored monthly.
Health and Wellbeing
We ensure thermal comfort and indoor air quality through selection of building materials, ventilation systems and both passive and active building systems to create healthy and thriving spaces. Our resilience and integrated nature considerations also strengthen our health and wellbeing strategy.
Happier communities
Our purpose as a business is to create belonging. This begins with the way we expertly design our neighbourhoods, and continues with the support we give to communities as they form and grow.
In addition to our investments in community development, Frasers Property Australia is engaged in a mission to raise awareness and reduce the impact of loneliness in Australian life. In this fight, we are very proud to be a producing partner in the documentary film, The Great Separation, and an industry advisor to Ending Loneliness Together.
Smarter environments
Finding better ways to live with lower impact has been our focus for decades. We’ve led the way with innovations that have improved the energy and water use of homes including Green Star design, geothermal and solar energy capture, and carbon-neutral power supply through our energy retailer, Real Utilities.
World leadership
We were the first in the world to achieve Living Building Challenge® Petal Certification for a retail building, and in doing so, we developed The Greensheet, Australia’s first comprehensive database of healthy building materials, freely available for everyone’s use. Additionally, 100% of our corporate funding is secured in the form of sustainability-linked loans.
