Stockland presents a concise, simple Annual Review as the company’s first report which combines financial, social and environmental performance into one document. The opening pages set the scene for why the business has adopted Integrated Reporting and how this has impacted their reporting. In particular this identifies the move to place more sustainability related information online.

The Chairman highlights that the business has pulled together both financial and non-financial information this year in the Annual Review and states that ‘this report provides details on how our approach to sustainability is delivering improved returns for investors’. To emphasize this move, the key financial and sustainability results are presented side-by-side.
