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.

Centuria are seeking to better understand the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) implications of our operations and how we can effectively respond to these going forward. Our approach is defined by Centuria’s Sustainability Framework, a framework that outlines our ESG focus areas and helps to guide our related initiatives, including climate change-related initiatives, which are addressed through one of the sustainability pillars, ‘Conscious of climate change’.

Centuria’s Sustainability Framework (which has been adopted by Centuria NZ) helps to drive the interaction and interdependence between Centuria’s purpose, sources of value and business strategy, while seeking to consider the interests of key stakeholders, as we understand them. It comprises three pillars, the first of which is our focus in this report:

Environment: Conscious of climate change

Social: Valued stakeholders

Governance: Responsible business practices.

Our sustainability approach is the lens that we use to identify, prioritise and address the environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues that matter most to our stakeholders. Sound stakeholder engagement is important for developing and maintaining strong relationships that enable us to understand our stakeholders’ unique needs, perceptions and concerns.

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.
