Through the adoption of our Sustainable Places Strategy, we have effectively repositioned Landcom as a leader in delivering more affordable and sustainable communities for the people of NSW. Our FY21 results show we are well on the way to achieving our goals. This year Landcom was again recognised as a global sustainability leader achieving second place in Australia amongst residential developers in the GRESB.

Landcom expanded our efforts to understand and address the physical, social and transition risks of climate change, in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. We intend that our efforts in this space will help drive an orderly transition to a low carbon economy. To complement this, Landcom is now a proud Carbon Neutral Organisation, certified under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard. Our 100% Australian Carbon Credits purchased for our CY20 certification form part of the Darling River Eco Corridor near Lowan in northern NSW, focused on restoring severely degraded agricultural land and regenerating native vegetation to benefit endemic species such as echidnas and woodland birds.

We continue to uphold our commitments to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, and as a Participant to the United Nations Global Compact. This year we’re proud to share our new Human Rights Statement, as part of our ongoing efforts to address human rights, and in particular modern slavery. 

I am proud of our ongoing commitment to deliver more affordable and sustainable communities. Our commitment to collaboration and innovation in this space underpins our ongoing success as an organisation, and ensures our communities demonstrate the global standards of liveability, resilience, inclusion, affordability and environmental quality that we strive to achieve.
