Stockland has released its flagship integrated Annual Report detailing financial, social and environmental performance for the 12 months to 30 June 2019 (FY19). The report outlines how Stockland creates short- and long-term value for stakeholders, in addition to marking the second year of reporting in line with the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
Stockland Managing Director and CEO, Mark Steinert said: “We continue to be a global sustainability leader. Since 2006, we have halved our carbon intensity, invested over $33 million in solar power generation across 20 retail and logistics properties, and saved over $106 million through energy efficiency innovations.
“Additionally, after committing to achieve gender balance (as defined by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency) across our workforce and all levels of management by FY20, I’m pleased that we reached this milestone earlier this year,” Mr. Steinert added.
The report also highlights Stockland’s commitment to innovation, such as by working with 10 PropTech startups through the Stockland Accelerator, powered by BlueChilli, to generate new business streams and increase digital and technological capacity to drive customer and workforce improvements.
Stockland’s 2019 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with the full suite of sustainability reporting available online, which includes deep dives into each sustainability focus area.
FY19 highlights:
Shaping thriving communities
Optimise and innovate
Enriching the value chain
