JOINT STATEMENT CONTINUED 4 Our move to adopt an accountable system of Triple Bottom Line (TBL) reporting represented a critical milestone in Landcom’s journey towards greater sustainability. It required the Corporation to sharpen its commitment to sustainable practices and then pursue a process of rapid and continual cultural change. This was unprecedented in Australia for a development-oriented organisation and has proven to be a significant challenge for Landcom. Our TBL program is an evolving and dynamic system that we continually improve, refine and learn from. We would like to make the point that, first and foremost, our TBL program is designed to add value to our business. It helps us to improve the way we do things and to improve our outcomes. Landcom’s approach to sustainability is one of the ways we respond to the community’s right to not only know, but to participate in decision-making. We have moved away from telling stakeholders about our activities to asking them to contribute, where that is possible. We have moved to a partnership approach where we seek to involve rather than to lecture. We know that despite all the challenges there is a sound business case for what we do. We have proven that in recent years. For us, adopting sustainability is the difference between the inadequacy of a short-term approach and the benefit of creating long-term value. CHAIR/MD It is true that, in many respects, a sustainable approach costs more – initially. Over time, however, it costs more not to take the sustainability road. And the “costs” are measured in currencies far more valuable than money. It would be impossible to develop a reporting system as extensive as Landcom’s without the dedication of our staff and our external stakeholders. Together, they have given generously both of their time and expertise, providing invaluable feedback and guidance. We acknowledge their contribution and look forward to meeting future sustainability challenges together. So, welcome to this window into our organisation. William Kirkby-Jones CHAIRMAN Sean O’Toole MANAGING DIRECTOR
‘‘ Landcom has a foot in both camps – the old development ethic and the new environmentally sustainable approach. There is a natural tension about this, not only internally at Landcom, but also in its dealings with the development sector, which sometimes seems to think that environmental sustainability is just an option. ‘‘ Landcom needs to continue its efforts to be a leader in environmental sustainability, and the government and the community need to support the Corporation, rather than send mixed messages in their planning and purchasing behaviour. In the past two years Landcom has certainly invested further effort in the environmentally responsible path, but it continues to face big challenges. TOTAL ENVIRONMENT CENTRE, DIRECTOR ANGEL JEFF 5
