Sustainability
Responsible by design,
not by mandate.
We build in places people will live for generations. That comes with obligations we take seriously.
At Firmus Group, sustainability is not a certification we pursue — it is a design principle we embed from the first sketch. We believe that the most enduring developments are those that serve their communities with integrity, minimize their environmental footprint, and operate with transparency and accountability to all stakeholders.
Our ESG framework — structured around Environmental stewardship, Social responsibility, and Governance integrity — guides every decision across all eight Firmus companies. It is the backbone of how we allocate capital, how we design and build, how we hire and develop talent, and how we report to investors and communities.
We do not wait for external certification to do the right thing. Our commitments are internally mandated, measurable, and publicly reported annually in our ESG Report.
Environmental Stewardship
We design and build with the long-term health of the ecosystems we occupy as a primary constraint — not an afterthought.
- Net-zero carbon in all new developments by 2035
- 100% LEED-equivalent design standards across all projects by 2027
- Zero single-use plastics on all GFN construction sites
- 30% reduction in embodied carbon per sqm vs 2022 baseline by 2028
- 100% certified-origin timber in all MUGA productions
- Water recycling systems standard in all Casas Nipro developments
Social Responsibility
The places we build are not products — they are parts of communities. We are accountable to the people who will live and work in them.
- Minimum 10% affordable units in all mixed-use developments
- Living wage guarantee for all direct and subcontracted workforce
- Zero-tolerance safety programme across all GFN sites
- Community consultation process on all projects over 10,000 sqm

- Annual ESG report published with independently verified data

- Clear whistleblower protection across all eight companies
