Welcome to our ESG special edition of the Property Development Review. This issue has been designed not only to inform, but inspire you about our environment, social justice and diversity, and good corporate governance, because ‘what is good for society is also good for business’. And great companies understand this. They don’t just give lip-service, they are committed to their plans of action from engaging in sustainable practices and running their company in an ethically responsible way, to aligning themselves externally with businesses who do the same.

Our article ‘How and why these leading organisations go above and beyond’ explores two in-depth interviews about ESG practices from both the builder and agent/tenant perspectives. We speak with both Josephine Sukkar

Enjoy the read.
