This report demonstrates our continued commitment to make a positive difference in people’s lives across NSW by increasing the supply, affordability and diversity of housing and creating sustainable communities.
As the affordability crisis continues to impact every day Australians, Landcom is committed to unlocking the delivery of high quality, affordable housing. We also strive to ensure that homes are resilient to the impacts of climate change, and focus on how design, materials and thermal efficiency can improve the comfort and liveability of a place to its occupants.
As this report goes to publication, the new Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) have been signed into legislation. With Landcom being a climate-disclosure leader in Australia via the voluntary adoption of the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures since 2019, we’re embracing the new mandatory standards and look forward to seeing the positive change this has across the economy. The timing aligns well with Landcom’s intent to adopt a Net Zero Plan in 2025, with a strong focus on how we can drive down Scope 3 emissions in our operations and supply chain.
Finally, we expect to see Nature become a bigger part of the conversation in the coming year. We know Landcom’s operations have a direct interface with the natural environment, which is why we’ve had a leadership goal since 2017 to drive net positive nature impacts across our projects. In the coming year we’ll leverage the new and voluntary Task Force for Nature-related Financial Disclosures to guide us in the identification of opportunities and impacts across our operations.
