At Valad, we recognise the importance of environmental sustainability and its ever increasing impact on our business.  We are committed to understanding and implementing sustainable practices and to exploring the benefits to our business whilst attempting to achieve the right balance between the needs of the wider community, investor and stakeholder requirements and economic success.  

Importantly, we believe that we can achieve this environmental balance without excessive cost or imposition.  

As an international property group, Valad operates under a robust set of corporate governance principles and applies these principles to all our business groups and assets.  This creates opportunities for consistency and efficiency across the countries where we operate and also achieves a level of innovation – all of which contribute to sustainability.  

In response to Valad’s recent expansion into Europe, we have gathered a global risk management team to understand the environmental regulatory and legal requirements across our portfolio.  This team will provide a global framework to our current environmental responsibilities, future environmental priorities and corporate environmental reporting.  

In Asia Pacific Valad has formed a sustainability steering group to direct its sustainability initiatives.  The group is in the early stages of assessing the environmental status of its key assets and at measuring the energy efficiency opportunities within its portfolio including our various corporate offices and our development projects.  

Our environmental actions are aimed at creating an ever-increasing awareness within our staff, our suppliers and the many stakeholders involved in our business – whilst realising that the outputs of sustainability are innovation, cost savings and improved shareholder returns.
