Direct Lobbying Transparency

| Moderate | Stockland provides a moderate level of transparency on its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies the main policy areas it engages on, notably its support for updating the National Construction Code to include “higher energy efficiency standards and a trajectory for future increases” and its advocacy for “targeted incentives for buildings investing in energy efficiency and clean energy, such as accelerated depreciation and planning incentives.” These references give clear detail on two distinct climate-related policy initiatives. The company also describes how it seeks to influence those policies, stating that it is an “active member of industry associations such as the Green Building Council of Australia and the Property Council of Australia” and highlighting the Managing Director and CEO’s role as National Vice-President of the PCA, signalling both indirect (association) and direct leadership engagement mechanisms, although the specific governmental bodies approached are not named. Stockland is explicit about the outcomes it wants to secure—tighter energy-efficiency rules in the construction code and fiscal or planning incentives for efficient buildings—linking each outcome to the relevant policy change. Overall, while the disclosures clearly outline the issues and objectives, the company offers less detail on the exact channels and governmental targets of its advocacy, resulting in a solid but not fully comprehensive picture of its lobbying activity. | 2 |
