REMPLAN is used to model the potential economic benefits associated with Dexus’s committed developments. REMPLAN is an Input Output model that captures inter-industry relationships within an economy. The multipliers and jobs data are provided by Urbis. Gross value added (GVA) represents the value added (i.e. economic growth) generated through the Dexus Platform committed development pipeline. GVA is calculated using the value of the total development spend across the Dexus Platform in FY25 as a key input. The number of construction jobs is an estimation of all direct and indirect jobs created over the life of the construction phase of the projects in the Dexus Platform committed development pipeline. This is calculated using standard industry jobs per square metre benchmarks and regional employment multipliers for NSW.
Climate Action
Our commitment to climate action supports the transition to a decarbonised economy while also safeguarding and advancing our people, assets, property and financial returns. Our recent progress:
- Maintaining net zero since FY22 across scope 1 and 2 emissions across our managed portfolio

What our people say
“Our purpose is to unlock potential and create tomorrow. Sustainability is critical to achieving this, through unlocking the potential of real estate and infrastructure to create a lasting positive impact and a more sustainable tomorrow. At Dexus, we are doing this by prioritising three key areas: Customer Prosperity, Climate Action and Enhancing Communities. These priorities are the most important to our customers and investors and are where we can make a tangible impact that is aligned with our commercial goals.”
Ross Du Vernet, Group CEO & Managing Director
“Our sustainability pillar of Customer Prosperity acknowledges that customers are setting their own sustainability priorities and recognises that Dexus, as an investor and real assets manager, is in a unique position to help them achieve their goals. Customers are increasingly valuing the performance of buildings and the built environment and there are ratings tools, such as NABERS, Green Star and WELL, that help us – and our customers – understand how well our buildings are performing.”
