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.

Certification
Embed appropriate certification processes within teams and maintain current certification commitments.
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.
Resilient communities
Eleven Frasers Property communities are certified under the Green Star Communities tool and six have achieved a 6 Star rating, representing World Leadership in sustainability. The remaining five have certified 5 Star ratings, representing Australian Leadership. We’ve also maintained the highest GRESB 5-star rating since 2018.
Real Utilities
Real Utilities is Frasers Property Australia’s carbon-neutral energy retailer providing 100% Climate Active-certified energy to many of our residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. It plays a key role in both our decarbonisation efforts and those of our customers.
