Solutions that optimise asset performance and minimise environmental impact
Real sustainability. Real impact.
Our Sustainability and Social Impact Framework was established to create a culture of sustainability action across the business, and ensures we consider the impact of everything we do.
Known for our sector leadership in decarbonisation and circularity, we listen to, and work closely with, our clients to enhance and uplift their sustainability aspirations – to meet the needs of today without compromising the needs of the future.
“Sustainability goes beyond just meeting Green Star or NABERS benchmarks. It’s about integrating sustainable practices and materials from day one, ensuring that our projects enhance the wellbeing of every individual involved, from the construction team to the end users, every step of the way.”
Joe Karten, Head of Sustainability and Social Impact, Built

Setting the standard
Built’s Green Standard is our commitment to sustainable building practices and the environment.
By embracing change through better building practices and improved environmental outcomes, the projects we deliver for our clients are ahead before they have even begun. A real, measurable tool against which we hold ourselves accountable, the Green Standard is embedded into our project delivery – our teams are trained, supported, and measured against successful implementation. It’s what our clients can expect at a minimum to be confident that their project will be delivered with the best environmental principles. It’s also what ensures sustainability is lived and breathed by all Built people.
