Five impact areas that businesses are assessed on as B Corporations

Action on Environment

Brand Architects are serious about Environmental Sustainability and taking action to reduce the impacts of climate change. To guide our approach to projects, we have implemented a sustainability action plan, that will see us make continuous improvements in design practice with the aim of achieving upfront and operational carbon neutrality by 2035. Regardless of whether sustainability is part of the brief or not, we prepare an environmental roadmap for every project with the aim of maximising the environmental outcomes.
As part of our overall environmental commitment, we are also focussed on the impact of our internal operations. We are a Climate Active certified Carbon Neutral company, and aim to continuously reduce our upfront emissions by using 100% renewable GreenPower, reducing operational waste, minimising fossil fuel use for travel, and implementing a sustainable purchasing policy.

Action on Reconciliation

Brand Architects are committed to reconciliation with indigenous Australians, the oldest continuous culture on Earth. We aim to engage with traditional owners to improve the connection of our projects to Country, and to improve awareness of indigenous culture by including cultural artifacts in our building designs.
Brand Architects has an endorsed Reconcilliation Action Plan in place. We are currently at the Innovate stage, the second stage of four, where our activities will lead to a deeper and more meaning relationship and engagement with the Indigenous community.
As part of our commitment to improve representation of Indigenous people in Architecture, Brand Architects sponsors two scholarships for design students at Monash University. We also provide employment opportunities for indigenous artists via various projects in our practice.
