- This is an unclaimed profile. Lend Lease has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Lendlease presents sustainability as a core part of how it designs, builds, and manages places. Its main focus areas include climate, resources and materials, nature, skilling and employment, procurement, and placemaking. The company says it uses a sustainability framework to guide projects and investments, and it reports on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance through annual reports, an ESG databook, and a sustainability report prepared under Australian reporting standards. It also highlights third-party ratings and building certifications, such as Green Star, WELL, GRESB, and NABERS, as signs of progress. The public picture is mixed: Lendlease has strong sustainability disclosures and many recognised projects, but customer reviews on Trustpilot are poor. Positive Sentiment Found Publicly available third-party signals are fairly strong on Lendlease’s sustainability performance, especially in real estate benchmarks and building certifications. The company says its funds received top 5 Star ratings in the 2024 GRESB (a benchmark that compares real estate sustainability performance) rankings, with several funds named sector leaders. Its projects also picked up high-profile building ratings such as 6 Star Green Star, WELL Community Gold, and top placement in the NABERS water index, which suggests outside assessors see strong performance in design, health, and resource use. Lendlease also points to independent verification of its social value target by Social Impax and Think Impact, which adds credibility to its social impact claims. On Commons, an app that rates brands for sustainability, users also describe the platform as helpful for finding more sustainable choices, but that is about the app rather than Lendlease itself. Common Criticisms: Consumer sentiment on Trustpilot is weak. The main Lendlease review page shows a TrustScore of 1.5 out of 5 from 26 reviews, and one visible comment says the reviewer would not buy a property from the company again. That is not a sustainability rating, but it does show poor customer sentiment around the brand overall. No independent third-party source in the provided material directly accuses Lendlease of greenwashing or labour abuse, but there are gaps in what is publicly visible here: the material does not show a Good On You assessment, and the B Corp result shown is for a different company, not Lendlease. That means there is limited independent consumer-style sustainability scoring in the available sources.

2040
Absolute Zero by 2040
Lendlease says it is targeting Absolute Zero by 2040. In plain terms, that means it wants to remove greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 within its defined boundaries, without using offsets. Scope 1 covers direct emissions, Scope 2 covers emissions from purchased energy, and Scope 3 covers other indirect emissions in the value chain. The company says this target is part of its Mission Zero approach.
2025
Net Zero Carbon by 2025
Lendlease says it is on track to meet a 2025 sustainability target for Net Zero Carbon. Net zero carbon usually means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing the rest, often with offsets, although the company’s own wording should be read in context. The target is mentioned alongside its wider sustainability and investment strategy.
