Green building certification

Goodman combines sustainable design principles and construction methods, with innovative materials to deliver green buildings for our customers around the world.

Many of our property sustainability credentials are externally verified through internationally recognised green building schemes.

These voluntary green building schemes recognise organisations who build and operate greener buildings. They are designed to engage property companies, customers and the supply chain, to create and operate healthy, high performing, low carbon, and resilient buildings. Certified green buildings support our customers who are on their own sustainability journeys by helping to reduce their energy and water use, and promote staff health and wellbeing.   

 
Certifications around the world vary in their approach and can be applied to the different phases of a building’s lifecycle. From planning and design, construction, and operation, all the way through to a buildings end of life.
