ESG overview

Sustainability is our heartbeat

Climate change, Covid-19 and the movement for inclusivity and diversity are defining global developments which are changing the way we live and work, and elevate ESG activities and reporting to a heightened level of importance.

ESG has evolved beyond helping investors manage financial risk to doing what we can – and must – to promote a sustainable future for the generations who will follow.

It is within this context that we understand our responsibility to manage our business so stakeholders can better assess our impact, now and in the future, on the communities we serve and the natural environments we operate in.

We want our work at Hyprop to make a positive contribution to our investors and other stakeholders, as well as to our broader society. This is why sustainability is central to the environments we operate in, the people we work with and serve and, importantly, the norms, values and rules by which we operate our business.

We are integrating sustainability into our business, and initiatives include improving recycling, reducing waste, managing assets to be more energy and water efficient and reducing carbon emissions in line with national targets.

We are committed to preserving and developing our human capital resources and to managing our financial resources in a prudent and responsible manner whilst effective governance integrates integrity and performance to achieve harmony between internal and external interests, which is important to us as the owners and managers of retail centres.
