ENVIRONMENTAL
INITIATIVES

Our vision is to deliver considered building solutions that have minimal impact on the environment, whilst benefiting the broader community.

We always look to consider and measure ways to reduce our impact on social, environmental and economic conditions. Accordingly, we review and improve our systems and processes consistently.

Project One works in collaboration with the Better Buildings Partnership to improve sustainability in Australia’s commercial buildings and engage with regulators on key environmental policy and regulatory issues.

In collaboration with the Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) we have developed a range of services to optimise building performance together with a toolkit designed to help foster and harness a vertical community in a multiple tenanted building to achieve common sustainability goals.

Much of the partnership’s work aims to streamline and enable conversations between tenants and landlords, whether by driving demand for high-performing buildings, creating clauses for best practice leases that set a framework for collaboration, or providing template documents for tenants, property managers and owner meetings as a committee for change within each building and to expand its reach over 7000 office businesses in the Sydney CBD.

CORPORATE SOCIAL
INITIATIVES

We feel privileged and fortunate to be able to give back to the community, often working in collaboration with our clients, to sponsor events and to help raise funds for a number of specific charities with whom we have a close association. This genuine initiative comes from the staff themselves who all share the same values.

Charities we have worked with include Fred Hollows Foundation, Downsyndrome NSW, Youngcare, Property Industry Foundation, Oxfam Trailwalker, Stillbirth Foundation, Tour de Cure, Polished Man and many others.
