A Different Way
Our strategy for sustainable business growth.
In 2015 we created A Different Way - a whole new way of thinking and working that helps us boldly grow our business in ways that are good for our people, customers and the environment.
It's been the foundation for a whole suite of exciting changes we've made that affect the way we work more broadly. These changes allow us to set ourselves apart from our competitors and show how Frasers Property is different - more innovative, greener and people-focused - while being authentic and true to ourselves.
We see A Different Way as more than a set of features, but a smart business approach that's ingrained in everything we do, and that gives us the opportunity to lead our industry. It unites and connects our people and projects, and changes our business for the better. Most importantly, it helps us create game-changing value for our customers.
A Different Way
Highlights from our journey to date.
A Different Way to save energy
We've installed 5.9 MW of solar PV, with another 9.6 MW in the pipeline - saving our customers money, protecting them from the risk of rising energy prices and reducing their carbon footprint.
Energy & Carbon
Reconciliation Action Plan
We've launched our first Reconciliation Action Plan, to collaborate with Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the land on which we build so that we acknowledge our nation's history and connections to country.
Diversity & Inclusion
Smiling Mind
We've partnered with education organisation, Smiling Mind, to bring mindfulness to 90 Australian schools. Mental health is an essential part of wellbeing and we're proud to have supported 25,000 children and counting.
Health & Wellbeing
Leadership in Green Buildings
We've developed, owned and managed over 2.5 million sqm of Green Star buildings and have over 10,000 residential Green Star lots under development. This is third-party evidence that we're delivering quality, sustainable buildings.
