We understand the world is constantly changing and to be part of the future we must remain agile and open to new ways of working. It’s in this way we aim to give our customers the space they need to succeed by providing sustainable solutions and unparalleled service in high-quality locations now and into the future. Goodman cares about the future of the planet and all the people in it and we strive to have a positive impact on the world. We believe that a sustainable approach makes good business sense and seek to work with stakeholders who feel the same.

By aligning our corporate responsibility and sustainability vision with our purpose, we believe we can make space for greatness for all our stakeholders.

Sustainability is about long-term thinking and leadership. We’ve always taken a sustainable approach that leads to positive economic, environmental and social outcomes for our business, our stakeholders and the world more broadly.

This year we comprehensively reviewed our practice, taking into account our continued growth and strong financial performance. The result is our 2030 Sustainability Strategy which builds on the momentum of our work to date, aligns with our purpose of ‘Making space for greatness’ and takes a more proactive approach to the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Our 2030 Sustainability Strategy is structured around three pillars. These are linked to a set of material issues, with each pillar backed by short and long-term environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets. Our progress on these targets will be reported annually later in the year, leading up to 2030.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address the world’s most significant challenges such as poverty, the planet, gender equality, clean water and climate change.

We have identified eight of the 17 SDGs as most relevant to our business. These shared global goals are another way we anchor ourselves to the power of collective leadership to ensure a sustainable future for all.
