Purpose & core values

We are a purpose-led, performance driven business.

Our core values define who we are, what we stand for, and how we behave.

These values form the foundation on which we strive to fulfil our purpose and are embedded in everything we do.

Purpose

Our purpose is to enhance the standard of living for people from all walks of life.

Guided by this purpose, we dedicate our energy and resources to:
  • investing in, developing and managing affordable, strategically located, fit-for-purpose living spaces with broad market appeal, and 
  • creating significant value for our shareholders and other stakeholders alike.

In pursuit of our purpose, we are determined to make a difference by:

Recognising, respecting, protecting and fulfilling the fundamental human right to adequate housing for all.
Ensuring that everyone living in our properties can do so in peace, security and dignity – free from any form of discrimination.
Continually improving living conditions in our properties to enhance tenant well-being and satisfaction.
Playing our part in tackling the housing shortage crisis and addressing the evolving housing needs of a diverse and growing population.
Contributing to the built environment becoming more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Achieving strong commercial performance while making meaningful economic and tax contributions.
Using natural resources responsibly and delivering energy-efficient properties to protect and enhance the environment.
Creating positive social change by making a meaningful impact in the communities where we operate and supporting charitable causes.

In a rapidly evolving world, we are committed to building a better future by driving positive and lasting change.

In doing so, we embrace an approach grounded in the principle of 'leave no one behind' – which is driven by our unwavering commitment to diligently invest in, develop and manage properties that contribute to the built environment becoming more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable – with the ultimate goal of enhancing the quality of life for all who live in our properties.

Right to adequate housing

We believe that everyone has the right to adequate housing – a fundamental human right recognised in international law as part of the right to an adequate standard of living. In our view, adequate housing is more than just four walls and a roof.

Sustainable urban development

Urbanisation is one of the most powerful forces shaping global development today. To provide opportunities and improved living conditions for all, we believe that sustainable urban development must encompass spatial, social and economic inclusion.

Core values

We have a unique company culture that permeates throughout our business. 

This culture is underpinned by our values. 

While our people come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, our values are what we have in common.
