Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are part of how we do business. It is embedded in everything we do. Across our strategy, operations, partnerships and decision-making.
While our Sustainability Report provides an overview of our performance against key metrics, our comprehensive Databook provides all our sustainability performance data for Charter Hall, as well as CLW and CQR.

A sustainable approach to tomorrow
Our sustainability approach remains practical, authentic and action-orientated and enables us to attract and retain capital, customers and employees.
Our sustainability framework sets out our approach to delivering responsible outcomes across our business and in the communities in which we operate. It focuses on delivering environmental and social value at the same time as pursuing long-term, risk-adjusted returns.
Throughout FY22, we continued to listen to our customers’ sustainability concerns and needs. These have helped shape our framework, which directly links to ESG considerations, material topics and emerging trends that will shape our future.
Creating resilience through meaningful climate action, rethinking our approach to resources and restoring nature.
We work in partnership with our customers to deliver meaningful action on climate change, including the way we adapt and build resilience into our assets. We are focused on resource efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and responding to the physical and transitional risks and opportunities of a changing climate. We are committed to achieving Net Zero carbon in operation and powering our assets with 100% renewable electricity. We continue to deliver on our environmental objectives, including enhancing our approach to circularity and natural capital and biodiversity.
We focus on talent development and customer partnership, as well as building community connection, inclusion and delivering healthier, safer places for people.
We look for ways to increase the strength of communities in which we operate. We create safe, equitable and inclusive environments to support high-performing talent, foster deep customer relationships and build strong communities. We aim to create healthier and more connected local communities, with accessible job creation and skills development opportunities. Through our membership of the Pledge 1% movement, we aim to create mutual success and have a lasting impact on people and the community, pledging up to one percent of profits, places and our people’s time.
Creating shared economic prosperity, sustainable growth and mutual success.
Our integrated commitment to ESG directly influences how we access, deploy, manage, and invest capital to create sustainable growth and returns. We form partnerships and agreements to help support the long-term sustainability of our business partners and judge the success of our approach by our ability to create better futures through driving value and mutual success.
