Sustainability
We take responsibility
At AVID, we act with accountability in all we do, and we make decisions based on broader impacts so that we can best benefit our customers, colleagues and the environment.
Economic considerations are balanced against social and environmental factors, ensuring we meet the needs of the present generation without compromising considerations for the future.
Our commitment to sustainability is inherently linked to our four brand pillars:
We champion customers, We think beyond, We take responsibility and We nurture neighbourhoods
We Nurture Neighbourhoods
The places we create are active, vibrant, engaging and socially sustaining. We dedicate spaces that will become natural meeting points, and will evolve organically to meet the changing needs of generations to come.
The development of an AVID community starts long before the first sod is turned and the foundations that create a sense of place are built long before the walls of homes go up. AVID draws on its collective development, customer and community experience of over 40 years and places meticulous attention to detail through the design and planning phase and at every step along the journey.
Community is conceptualised, built and fostered over many years, and even decades, so a critical element of creating places that people want to live is in reviewing the masterplan frequently, to ensure an AVID community continues to deliver on the lifestyle our residents are seeking.
Our place management implements the best process and delivery for a new community in the short term and long term, interwoven with benchmarks to deliver better social, environmental, design and commercial outcomes for all.
We Champion Customers
Environmental and resource sustainability is not only central to all our operations, it’s rigorously measured against international benchmarks. Sustanability at a social-level is about creating connected communities where people genuinely feel they belong. We co-ordinate local events where people can come together. We contribute ideas and resources to community clubs, schools, workshops, meetings, and social media conversations to help communities grow. But we’re also focused on the broader community’s sustainability by drawing upon the local workforce and suppliers, helping contribute to the regional economy and providing ongoing economic stimulus and employment via the industrial, retail, and commercial projects we create. By focusing on value at every price point and delivering innovative solutions to meet the needs of emerging markets, we contribute to the economic stability of families, businesses, and entire communities.
We Think Beyond
Our focus is toward greater health and wellbeing through facilities and programs that encourage an active and dynamic lifestyle for residents. This goes to the design of the landscape and the amenities to provide health, engagement, moveability and connectedness within the community. Parks, nature reserves, walking and biking trails, exercise and play equipment, passive and active recreation areas – they are all designed to create a healthy outdoor approach to living, and to getting the most out of life.
We Take Responsibility
Environmental and resource sustainability is not only central to all our operations, it’s rigorously measured against international benchmarks. AVID Property Group is the first, large-scale residential developer to have achieved EnviroDevelopment accreditation across each one of our communities. This is an entire group-effort and is the result of every arm of our business being committed to delivering best practice in environmental and resource sustainability, and actively encouraging that same commitment from our partners, suppliers, stakeholders and our communities.
AVID’s commitment to sustainability shapes the way we create communities. You can see it in everything we do. When our customers choose to live in an AVID community, they can expect to live in an address that has been designed and delivered to be sensitive to the natural environment.
