ESR is committed to the ongoing sustainability improvement of our properties, preparing them for the current and future needs of our customers, capital partners and community.
Our properties are rated annually with Green Star Performance v2, the new version of the Green Building Council of Australia's (GBCA's) Performance rating tool for sustainability in the operation of properties.
In 2025, our portfolio achieved a strong first-year average rating of 3-stars on the 1- to 6-star scale, classifying as 'Good Practice'.

We developed the practical Improving Waste Performance Guide for the benefit of our customers, helping to increase recycling efforts and advance Circular Economy principles.
We’re implementing emission reducing measures in our properties and switching all ESR electricity to 100% GreenPower, helping to future proof our assets and support our capital partners and customers on their journey to net zero.
We are actively deploying rooftop solar on suitable facilities to provide clean, low-cost electricity. We are also exploring opportunities with onsite batteries and embedded networks.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was introduced to strengthen our relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, which includes launching Designing with Country principles and engagement of First Nations suppliers.
