Ethical Property Australia
provides property solutions
to socially or environmentally
driven organisations.
WHO THEY ARE
Ethical Property Australia provides
property solutions to socially or
environmentally driven organisations.
They bring together ethically minded
investors who want the security
of a property backed investment
and organisations that are doing
good but who could also benefit
from being co-located by sharing
resources and potentially working
together on some projects.
Ethical Property provides a range
of services including purchasing,
refurbishing and owning property,
developing property on behalf of
other owners, and then managing
these properties. While they’ve
only worked on commercial spaces
so far, they would be interested in
investigating the potential for ethical
residential projects.
THE CHALLENGE
CEO, Peter Allen, has been
re-examining the long successful
European model of Ethical Property
UK to make sure it’s suitable for the
Australian market, and to see where
it can be improved.
However, Ethical Property still faces
the challenge of timing, both within
their business model and the product
they supply. As quickly as possible,
Ethical Property needed to become
financially sustainable.
Timing is also very important when
getting a property project off the
ground. Ethical Property needs to
bring investors, tenants and the right
property together at the right time,
often at short notice.
WORKING WITH TDi
“When I first arrived it was really
helpful to have TDi question me on
the way Ethical Property did things in
the UK,” said Peter Allen.
TDi introduced Ethical Property to the
Business Model Canvas, which was
useful in understanding the various
elements that make up a successful
business. This has further supported
Ethical Property in their development
of a social and environmental impact
reporting methodology and been an
important networking tool to connect
with other organistions in similar
positions.
