Our Progress
At Frasers Property, we're committed to boldly growing our business in ways that are good for our people, customers and the environment.
We document the goals and targets we set for ourselves, to pinpoint how and when we plan to make a difference. Every two years we review our targets, reflecting on our successes and challenges, and identifying new priorities and opportunities based on changes in the market, our customers, technology and climate science.
Our ESG metrics are currently under review as part of refreshing our strategy. We note that we are still making substantial progress in Sustainability performance.
In the last 12 months we have:
- Completed our second Innovate RAP to 90% and are in the process of developing a new Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.
- Completed limited assurance of our greenhouse gas inventory that considers all emission associated with scopes 1, 2 & 3.
- Achieved performance indicators for sustainability linked loans – including for carbon reductions associated with scopes 1, 2 & 3.
- Undertaken thermal performance modelling across standard townhouse product to enable optimisation of building orientation and fabric.
- Conducted lifecycle assessments on selected townhouse, apartment, and infrastructure projects to better understand how to reduce embodied carbon emissions.
- Undertaken decarbonisation pathways for our existing commercial assets.
- Undertaken a readiness assessment against the Total Climate-related Financial Disclosures Standard and are preparing for the implementation of Australian Sustainability Reporting Standard in Australia.
- Rolled out design thinking and innovation training and workshops to staff.
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.
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.
