Carbon Neutral Certification for QE property funds business

QE’s property funds management business has for its third year received Carbon Neutral certification by Climate Active. We have invested in an offset project that provides economic/social and environmental benefits to communities as well as reducing emissions. This is a thermal energy project in Vietnam which prevents the release of methane into the atmosphere and reduces local environmental problems such as river congestion and ecological damage.

We have a desire to be sustainable and transparent in all of our reporting, as we aim to continue our carbon neutral certification beyond 2021. We’re also using this opportunity to create awareness and change in our personal and corporate behaviour to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

We are passionate supporters of the Lighthouse Foundation.

We have partnered with the Lighthouse Foundation and four other leading Australian businesses in launching their Foster Hub pilot program. The program aims to create a safe space where existing foster families can go and spend time with other families, provide regular respite and also connect with counsellors and other experts.

Through the help of our Ecosystem partners we found an amazing property in Ivanhoe East, Victoria, which was refurbished to meet Lighthouse’s needs. As an ongoing partner, we have committed to support this program in its early stages and beyond by funding the first two years of rent.
