Climate and Environment

Our climate mission is clear

The built environment contributes around 40 per cent of the world’s carbon emissions. We have a responsibility and an opportunity to act. As a 1.5°C aligned company, we have set ourselves ambitious science-based emissions reduction targets. Our targets have been validated by the Science Based Target initiative as being line with a 1.5°C trajectory. 

Our industry-leading targets make our intention clear: to lead the transformation of our industry, inspiring a different level of thinking and shifting the attention to carbon elimination – not just reduction or offsetting. This is our Mission Zero.

Lendlease Scope 3 Emissions Protocol: Our Reporting Boundary

Our Absolute Zero by 2040 target is industry leading and bold. It is a target focused on eliminating, rather than just offsetting, the Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions within the boundaries we have defined as being relevant to our value chain.

The Lendlease Scope 3 Emissions Protocol V.1 is intended to contribute to broader efforts to help define a global approach to the measurement and reporting of Scope 3 emissions associated with real estate investments, development, and construction business activities.

Mission Zero Regional Roadmaps

We have clear plans in place to decarbonise our business globally

We’ve developed a five-step pathway to guide our journey to Absolute Zero by 2040. Our regional Mission Zero Roadmaps set out specific regional strategies and timeframes to eliminate Scope 1, 2 and 3 in line with our targets. Our Roadmaps are tailored to account for regional variances in the availability of alternative fuel options, renewable energy markets, technology, supply chain maturity and government policy. They provide the detail to drive specific and timely action towards achieving our targets, and are another measure of our performance.  

“Setting bold targets in 2020 was the first important step; outlining a clear plan and acting on it is essential to authentically decarbonise our business.”

- Dale Connor, CEO Lendlease Australia
