Social Impact
The impact we have on the planet is what guides us. Delivering earth-friendly, liveable landmarks with long-lasting benefits requires vision and collaboration.
This is what we value. This is our goal.
This is the legacy we leave.
Sustainability
We are passionate about looking after the planet – your home, our home. We see it not only as our responsibility but our duty.
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and building clean, sustainable, healthy places to live, stay and work.
We are constantly evaluating how our buildings are designed, constructed and managed to ensure we are achieving tangible outcomes for a better future.
ICD is focused on transitioning to a more earth-friendly way of building and we are striving to achieve a sustainable workplace by implementing a carbon-neutral corporate environment as well.
Our Sustainability Targets
Diversity and Inclusion
At ICD we put people first. We are champions for social inclusion and diversity and we are passionate about doing our bit to create thriving communities.
Everyone deserves a safe, secure and affordable place to call home. All our developments are centred around delivering the highest outcomes in liveability, lifestyle, wellness, and sustainability for our residents. We focus on wellbeing and inclusion to ensure we create positive social value and community resilience within the spaces we impact.
On our Market Square project, we are proud to be working with Homes for Homes – an innovative not-for-profit organisation established by The Big Issue – to help fight homelessness. By pledging 0.1% of all property sales, we can contribute to the creation of social and affordable housing – helping to house those in our community who need it most.
Our Diversity and Inclusion Targets
Focus Areas
We have very clear ambitions for the ESG space so we can continue to deliver earth-friendly developments that are commercially feasible, environmentally sustainable, functional, long-lasting and future-proofed.

Our vision has always been to create a human-centric and sustainable workplace at Market Square. For us, the extra investment was non-negotiable. Not only is Market Square future-friendly, it will be able to deliver significant savings.
