Brookfield Multiplex Group’s Environmental Policy and the Brookfield Multiplex Environmental Management System covers:

The Group is also implementing an Energy Management Plan across the Brookfield Multiplex Property Trust portfolio. Its key focus is to:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Brookfield Multiplex’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulation and all of Brookfield Multiplex’s construction operations are accredited to ISO 14001, which relates to environmental best practice.
Subcontractors employed on Brookfield Multiplex projects are also required to submit environmental management plans which deliver on Brookfield Multiplex’s environmental objectives.
A design manual covering Environmentally Sustainable Development has been created for internal use providing a tool for Brookfield Multiplex staff to understand and integrate requirements in design and construction. The manual covers:
- National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS);
- Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR);
- Green Building Council of Australia’s Green Star rating; and
- Building Sustainability Index NSW (BASIX)
Environmental performance achievements are sought by identifying, assessing and controlling environmental risks to mitigate the environmental impacts of our operations, as well as educating employees.
