We’ve been net zero in our business operations from day dot. That means that from the day we started Local, we’ve committed to running our offices with the planet in mind.
And we’re not just saying it, we’ve been Climate Active carbon neutral certified since 2023.
Sustainability is our guiding light when it comes to designing sustainable buildings that can stand the test of climate change. (A light energised by Green Power, of course.)
We consider the climate every step of the way, from site selection where we factor everything from accessibility to public transport so we can reduce reliance on cars, to the materials that we use to construct, to future proofing our buildings against climate related risks.
We are transparent about our sustainability targets and ratings. It sets us up with a clear plan. Ensuring we keep operating in the green, so our planet is too.
Why B Corp? It’s better for business. And means that we’re held to a really high standard of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving and supply chain practices.
You can dive a little deeper into it by checking out our B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.
Did you know Australia’s carbon neutral certification is one of the most rigorous in the world? It’s called Climate Active Carbon Neutral Certification, and it’s a voluntary program for organizations to measure, reduce, and offset their greenhouse gas emissions. Kinda like the Olympics for going green.
It also means that all our Climate Active claims undergo independent third-party verification. So, when we make the claim that we’re the gold medal standard in carbon off-setting, you can trust it’s been thoroughly checked and verified by a proper official.
We’re a proud participant member of the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB). GRESB is a mission driven, investor led organisation that collects, validates and scores and independently benchmarks ESG data from real estate portfolios globally. Think of it as a yearly census for eco-friendly buildings.
Not just a statement, an actual certification! You can even read about why our people think it’s great to work here.
Local’s ESG report guides our actions and decisions, ensuring that we have a clear plan, we know when we’re on track (and when we’re not) and they keep us accountable.
As we forge ahead, we’re staying focused on our six key pillars for ESG: Sustainable Buildings, Homes for All, Thriving Communities, Culture and Capability, Safety and Fairness, and Strong Governance.
As a developer, owner, and manager of housing projects, it is both our duty and our desire, to recognise and respect the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we build homes for our residents.
We aspire to embed a culture of reconciliation throughout every aspect of our business, setting a strong foundation of respect, collaboration and engagement.
At Local, we believe that human rights and fundamental freedoms should be enjoyed by all people, no matter where they live.
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to identifying and mitigating potential and actual modern slavery risks resulting from our business activities.
