Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

Corporate social responsibility, EnvironmentalSocial, and Governance (ESG) and diversity are vitally important to us and our clients

In line with IVS International Valuation Standards 104 (A10), AASB S1 & AASB S2 we have ensured our expert team have the knowledge to consider ESG factors and, where appropriate, integrate this in our valuation methodologies, templates and maths as well as tracking and identifying market practices - Gregory Preston AM

The E in ESG, environmental criteria, includes the energy that real estate consumes and the waste it discharges, the resources it needs, and the consequences for living beings as a result. Not least, E encompasses carbon emissions and climate change. Every property uses energy and resources; every property affects, and is affected by the environment.

 

S, social criteria considers the people in buildings and addresses the relationships the occupying companies have and the reputation it fosters with people and institutions in the communities where you do business. S includes labor relations, diversity and inclusion. Every company operates within a broader, diverse society.

 

G, governance, is the internal system of practices, controls, and procedures property owners and occupying companies adopt in order to govern themselves, make effective decisions, comply with the law, and meet the needs of external stakeholders. Every company, which is itself a legal creation, requires governance.
