Environmental, Social & Governance

Our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is integral to our mission of creating a sustainable and equitable district.

CDA’s guiding principle has always been that we represent businesses operating within a community and that we have a duty of care for that community. We recognise long-term success depends not only on economic growth but also on responsible stewardship of the environment and support for the wider community.

Overview

For the 2025-2030 term, CDA is committed to our ESG principles and integrating them into our core operations. Our business plan adopts an approach that aligns sustainability with our strategic goals, ensuring that initiatives contributes positively to both our urban environment and community.

Through this integrated approach, CDA will not only drive economic growth but also champion a model of development that is sustainable, equitable, and beneficial for the entire community. We will also work closely with local residents and councillors to ensure that our plans are inclusive, reflect community needs, and align with broader local government initiatives, ensuring that our ESG objectives contribute to a sustainable and engaged district.
