Our Sustainability Vision
Our actions of today will have an impact for generations to come. At Salta, we regard sustainability and wellbeing as our legacy for the future.
Salta creates quality environments with the wellness of its community and the well-being of future generations in mind. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact through intelligent building design and efficient operation.
Our Pillars
As a progressive family business, we take great pride in delivering projects of quality. And we recognise that in doing so, our commitment to sustainability is non-negotiable. For us, it’s about reducing our environmental footprint as much as possible, which we achieve through good building design and ensuring optimised efficiency practices across all our operations. That allows us to create stewardship within our own business, complemented by excellence across our key pillars:
- Leading wellness lifestyle and placemaking
- Innovating tenant engagement
- Delivering housing affordability; and
- Building positive communities
- Supporting the Modern Slavery Act
We are also a proud supporter of the St Vincent’s Institute (SVI), an independent medical research institute conducting researching into the cause, prevention and treatment of disease.
Tenant Engagement
Our continuous investment into infrastructure upgrades and amenities as well as new building developments continues to attract and retain incredible tenants to the Salta portfolio.
Our deployment of new technologies, such as the Equiem virtual tenant engagement app, help us build and enhance community experience and have a better understanding of our customers. Nexus Corporate is the first business park in the world to implement the Equiem platform.
Through seeking continual feedback and customer consultation, we have identified areas where together with tenants we can have the most impact, including waste management, expanding staff commuting options, creating health and wellness amenities and including local, premium healthy food service options.
Our Approach
Sustainable Design
By committing to reduce our impact during the early design phase of each project, we can together a make longer-lasting sustainability impact. From water efficiency to indoor environment quality, our design excellence is instilled from the outset, creating stronger and better built communities as a result.
Resources
We are committed to promoting health, wellbeing, community and sustainability across our new projects, existing assets and the overall Salta business.
Materials
We are committed to sourcing and specifying sustainable materials as much as possible across all of our projects, to meet Green Star, Fitwel and NABERS ratings. This relates to products and design approaches to optimise energy efficiency, including double glazing, metering systems, water fixtures, insulation and building orientation.
Our aim is to reduce our costs and ecological footprint, while still delivering a high level of quality and comfort across all our buildings. And by using long-lasting materials, we not only create stewardship within our business, but also buildings that endure into the future.
Technology Innovation
We continuously assess and optimise every one of our building’s operations. We do this using a range of smart building innovations, so that we can strengthen our portfolio performance, increase asset valuation and improve operational efficiency.
Our innovations include our cloud-based building performance portal ADAMM (Asset Database for Audits and Maintenance Management), our own Salta Minimum Sustainability Standards Matrix, our world-leading Equiem app, and our Salta Sustainability Wiki.
Building Our Legacy
At Salta, we take the environment very seriously across the design, construction, and stewardship of all our projects. We’re committed to building leading, quality properties that not only reflect who we are and what we stand for, but also their social and environmentally aware companies who choose to call us home.
As a progressive family business, we take great pride in delivering these buildings and we recognise that in doing so, our commitment to sustainability is non-negotiable. That allows us to create stewardship within our own business, complemented by excellence across our key pillars, and stronger and better built communities as a result.
