Reporting and Corporate Change
We understand that people are the heart and soul of an organisation and therefore the key to inspire the speed, effectiveness and long lasting success of any organisational change.
Our close working relationships with many clients enables us to develop tailored corporate and operational strategies to enhance business development and change.
From incremental educational steps to major strategic and operational shifts, dedicated Viridis E3 team members accompany, guide and support the change process.
This journey often starts with an individual project, and leads to an organisation successfully adopting operational change across the business. In many cases, executive leadership supports and helps to drive this process, communicating enhanced business values and the company’s vision for a sustainable business future.
Reporting against specific environmental, business or rating schemes, like NABERS, OSCAR, Green Lease Schedules, EMS and many others, are critical methodologies to measure and monitor improvement. Our trained rating and reporting experts work directly with each client to.
- Develop the starting benchmarks
- Set up reporting formats
- Enhance existing reporting structure
- Build in–house skills
- Value-add during the critical review against performance targets.
- Chair/facilitate progress meetings with relevant stakeholders.

Asset Renewal and Redevelopment
Existing property stock accounts for around 95% of Australia’s property market. Of this, a large proportion of CBD buildings is over 20 years old and requires renewal or redevelopment in the next decade.

- Office Interior rating and sustainable office fitout
- Tenant education and behavioural change
- Thermal modelling to assist building envelope improvements
- Due diligence ESD support at sale or purchase.
Viridis E3 can help you understand how to enhance the economic and environmental value of each asset, land and building, at each renewal and redevelopment cycle, increasing desirability for tenants and future investors.
