Sustainability
At the heart of every URBANCOLLECTIVE home is the belief that the construction of a house should be done in harmony with the surrounding environment both during and after construction, and results in a home that is healthy for its occupants, and is cost efficient to operate and maintain.
URBANCOLLECTIVE recognises that acting in a responsible and sustainable manner creates new opportunities, enhances value and improves social and environmental returns.
URBANCOLLECTIVE’S commitment to sustainability means managing environmental, social and economic risks and responsibilities and capitalising on opportunities to deliver sustainable outcomes for the benefit of stakeholders and the broader community.
URBANCOLLECTIVE strongly believes in ensuring our developments meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Each URBANCOLLECTIVE home is designed and constructed according to the following principles and practices:
- Reduced Waste
- Minimise footprint on the environment
- Renewable Materials
- Recycled Materials
- Low – VOC paints and materials
- Durable and low-maintenance materials
- High-efficiency lighting
- Passive Cooling
- High Performance Insulation
- Reduced water consumption
- Engaging with our suppliers to improve sustainability performance of our whole supply chain.
- Improving resource efficiency and minimising the environmental impacts of activities
- Pursuing continual improvement in corporate responsibility and sustainability management and performance.
We believe our homes offer a superior and unique level of design and style in the market, that is both affordable and sustainably built.
Whether it’s providing a safe and fulfilling work environment for our people, making responsible decisions about the materials we use or providing lasting community benefits, we believe actions speak louder than works and strive to create sustainable solutions.
We are committed to continuing and strengthening our focus on safety, health, environment and the community. Corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability issues are crucial to protecting the longevity of our company and the environment for future generations.
