Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019 | Cushman & Wakefield

Endorsing ESG Efforts in Australia

Domain Holdings Australia (Domain), a property technology and services business in Australia, selected Cushman & Wakefield’s Sustainability Solutions team to develop an inaugural ESG plan and policy. Domain’s reach includes 5.6 million Australians who have increasing stakeholder interest in the organization’s approach and management of ESG issues, and the company faced increasing pressure from investors to demonstrate how they are incorporating climate- related issues into business strategy and risk management.

Cushman & Wakefield facilitated an ESG Materiality Assessment workshop to draw out the critical material issues relevant to Domain, then developed a dynamic plan highlighting more than 25 recommended actions to reduce ESG risks, all of which were endorsed by Domain’s Board. The ESG Policy outlines Domain’s position on the material ESG issues impacting operations and will also apply to suppliers and others with whom Domain has business relationships. The work carried out will help improve Domain’s CDP scoring, which the Sustainability Solutions team is also completing on behalf of the organization.
