Sustainability

Centuria is committed to the development and implementation of environmental and social sustainability practices across its portfolio, while adhering to best practice corporate governance.

Sustainable practices and principles are vital within the communities and markets Centuria operates. We are dedicated to improving the environmental and social outcomes across our operations.

Our sustainability approach

Centuria’s sustainability framework identifies the material topics the Group will focus on to create value for our tenants, investors, employees, suppliers and the communities in which we operate. Centuria’s listed REITs (ASX:COF, ASX:CIP and NZX:APL), unlisted funds and growing development pipeline are guided by this Framework to develop a practical approach for each topic.

Centuria is committed to being transparent and practical when developing initiatives for each topic under this Framework, acknowledging some parts of the Group will require time to engage our valued stakeholders before initiating change.

Industry associations & memberships

We support and actively participate in a number of associations and industry groups. Our involvement in industry associations is designed to contribute to long-term value creation for our stakeholders and communities in which we operate. Centuria regularly reviews these memberships to align with the business and our corporate values.
