WORLD’S BEST PRACTICES
Sustainability
The property and strata industry has a crucial role managing the built environment, with buildings contributing around a quarter of Australia’s total carbon emissions.
Havencab Property Group balances economic, social, and environmental priorities. Participation in public sector-lead programs has delivered measurable, positive environmental outcomes and significant savings across our portfolio, reducing costs for owners and residents.
In our own operations, Havencab Property Group has adopted an Environmental Management Systems (EMS) compliant to AS/NZS ISO 14001. Suppliers and contractors are informed our Environmental Policy, only engaging those that demonstrate alignment with our ethos.
We strive for continuous improvement in environmental sustainability through recycling, conservation of resources, prevention of pollution, product selection, and promotion of environmental responsibility amongst our employees.

Reconciliation with Australia’s First Nations Peoples
Reconciliation Action Plan
Havencab Property Group’s Reconciliation Action Plan is a five-year plan supporting reconciliation with Australia’s First Nations Peoples.
The Plan endeavours to raise awareness of national identity and history; improve cultural acceptance and competency across teams; and reduce prejudice and discrimination.
Developed by our working group, the framework encompasses policy, training, and education partnerships with Indigenous communities. Consultation with Reconciliation Australia and staff engagement has us on track to realise outcomes ahead of scheduled milestones.
To acknowledge the Plan’s significance, HPG commissioned a contemporary artwork from Aboriginal artist Chern’ee Sutton that tells the story of Havencab’s journey toward reconciliation – a meaningful visual reminder of purpose. A proud Kalkadoon woman, Sutton’s Country is the emu foot province around the Mount Isa area in northwest Queensland.
Formalising reconciliation extends HPG’s strong culture of diversity and non-discrimination. It allows us to work with potential public and private sector clients who also prioritise shared value creation and equality for First Nations peoples.
