Sustainability Strategy
Stride's sustainability strategy is focused on creating enduring shared value, ensuring Stride’s business remains sustainable and resilient.
Sustainability Goals
Mitigate our impact on the planet
Take care of our people and partners
Invest in and manage outstanding places
Targets
Reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030
Achieve carbon net zero for scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030
Remove gas from all properties (excluding shopping centres) by 2027 and from shopping centres by 2032, other than gas for tenant process load
10% reduction in embodied carbon in developments from standard design for the particular type of building
Reduce waste to landfill by 10% year on year from baseline year (FY20)
Target 90% diversion of waste from landfill for development activities, with minimum 75%
GRESB
Stride completes the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) assessment which assesses Stride’s overall sustainability performance against a peer group of companies in Australia and New Zealand. Stride’s aim is to be in the top quartile of comparator companies over time.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Stride has set targets to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030. Stride's scope 1 and 2 emissions increased by 27% from FY25, primarily driven by the increase in the FY26 electricity emissions factor. The charts below detail scope 1 and 2 emissions by entity managed by Stride, and also the aggregate scope 1 and 2 emissions. Stride also tracks scope 3 emissions, which for Stride are primarily tenant emissions.

Climate Risks and Opportunities
Stride has identified preliminary climate risks and opportunities to its business and strategy.
These risks and opportunities have been considered under three scenarios – an orderly transition scenario where the temperature increase is limited to 1.5C; a disorderly transition scenario where the temperature increase is limited to 2C; and a hot house world scenario where global average temperature rises to greater than 3C above pre-industrial levels.
Stride worked with the New Zealand Green Building Council to develop the sector scenario analysis for the Construction and Property sector of New Zealand, which it then used to develop entity-specific scenarios. These entity-specific scenarios have been used to test the resilience of Stride’s business model and strategy under different climate scenarios, and to identify potential risks and opportunities to Stride.
Community
Stride aims to support communities in which we operate through partnering with community groups, programmes, and services which help connect people and provide opportunities for those who are more vulnerable, currently excluded from society or disadvantaged. Stride has implemented a Community Engagement Framework which governs Stride’s community investment activities.
Consistent with Stride’s community investment strategy of providing opportunities for youth to access experiences that would not otherwise have been available to them and encourage continuing education, Stride supports the work of the Graeme Dingle Foundation through sponsorship and other community involvement. Stride is a key partner of the Graeme Dingle Foundation.
The Foundation works with New Zealand's tamariki and rangatahi at different life stages, working directly with schools and communities through its programmes, seeking to inspire all school age New Zealand children to reach their full potential through progammes that help build self-esteem, promote good values and develop valuable life, education and health skills.
Safety
Stride continually seeks to ensure the safety of all those who work in or visit places managed by SIML.
Stride is committed to promoting a positive health & safety culture across everything we do. This is achieved through engaging with all those impacted by our operations, including employees, tenants and our supply chain as well as having robust policies and practices, and actively monitoring operations and activities across the business.
