Our Community Investment Program | Frasers Property Australia

Right across the globe, we’ve adopted the theme of ‘wellness’ to guide our Group’s approach to corporate and social responsibility.

Here in Australia we have two national partnerships that express this theme: with Smiling Mind and Live Life Get Active. Frasers Property and Smiling Mind are working together over the next three years to educate schools, workplaces and families in our communities about mental health and the benefits of mindfulness and meditation. Live Life Get Active is a community based fitness initiative championed by former Olympian Jane Flemming.

A passion for sustainability – both social and environmental – is another expression of this theme. We call our sustainability initiative A Different Way, and we’ve committed our business to creating places where resources are re-used, recycled and restored, to fostering new ideas and undertaking tangible initiatives to help people lead happier, healthier lives. It’s all part of encouraging our own people to contribute to the communities in which we work.

A different way

A Different Way is our national sustainability strategy, which articulates our vision for a more sustainable future. To achieve our goals, we have focused A Different Way on three core areas, each supported by ambitious goals and targets that pinpoint how we plan to make a difference.

Community development plans

When you commit yourself to creating real places for real people, you really need a plan. Our Residential Division operates a range of initiatives and programs designed to create better communities, with a focus on wellness, involvement, belonging and quality of life. At Discovery Point in Sydney’s Wolli Creek, we support a long-standing community-based program that includes social groups and regular resident events created as a result of survey feedback from the residents themselves: Board Game Fridays, Coffee Club, Mothers Club, Walking Club Sundays and Thai Chi Saturdays.

Recruitment

Our commitment to the next generation is made tangible with apprenticeships, internships and a competitive Graduate Program. Our interest in improving gender equity and diversity in our workforce has prompted us to support Serendis’ Career Returners Program, which consciously seeks to recruit women returning to work after a career break, and to support their transition back into the workforce. Our Diversity & Inclusion Committee and participation in the Property Male Champions of Change program provide frank feedback and good governance for our diversity ambitions.
