OVERVIEW

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) contains globally applicable guidelines for sustainability reporting. Established in 1997, GRI became an independent institution in 2002 and is an official collaborating centre of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and works in collaboration with the UN Global Compact.

The core guidelines are for voluntary use by organisations for reporting on the economic, environmental and social dimensions of their activities, products and services.

This Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report is produced in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (a full description of the guidelines is available at: www.globalreporting.org). DEXUS believes that by adopting G3, we will provide our stakeholders with a greater ability to understand and benchmark our performance against others within our sector and provide greater clarity and transparency on our sustainability strategy and key areas of impact.

This Index provides a reference to information and data provided throughout this report, as well as to the GRI indicators on which we have reported. The listing of GRI indicators is part of the requirements we must meet to produce a GRI-based report.

To achieve a reporting application level of “A” we are required to report on all core G3 performance indicators and provide an explanation of any core indicator on which we have not reported.

Immediately following the Index we have included an explanation of the reasons why we have not fully reported on a given indicator, and further explanation of our business practices relevant to a particular indicator, where required.
