In September 2022, the Green Building Council of Australia certified CSL’s new Global Headquarters and Centre for R&D in Melbourne with a 5-star rating under its Green Star rating system. This design certification signifies that our new global headquarters represents ‘Australian excellence’ in environmentally sustainable building practices. The Green Star rating is an internationally recognised system for setting the standard for healthy, resilient, positive buildings and places, and rewards buildings that reduce the impact of climate change, enhance health and quality of life, and contribute to maintaining a sustainable economy. Some of the sustainability features that helped achieve the 5-star certification include: • sourcing of building materials from responsible manufacturers; • recycling of building materials and diverting of construction waste from landfill; • electrical vehicle charging stations available in the car park; • optimised building insulation and glazing to reduce heating and cooling loads; • facade designed to reduce the need for artificial lighting; • highly efficient lifts with regenerative braking; • water-efficient bathroom facilities and irrigation systems; and • flicker-free lighting, and the minimisation of glare through windows. CSL is aiming to obtain a 5-star Green Star as Built rating to validate the sustainability credentials of our new global headquarters post occupation.
