By reducing energy use and improving building energy efficiency at new facilities, Officeworks is progressing towards its net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 targets.

In late 2023, Officeworks relocated approximately 900 team members to its new Support Centre at the recently redeveloped Chadstone Place in Victoria, a zero emissions building.

The Support Centre integrates sustainable design into a purposeful, engaging space that allows for a collaborative and flexible work environment, aligning to Officeworks’ commitment to People and Planet Positive.

The Officeworks project team collaborated with Vicinity Centres to transform an 8,100 sqm building, prioritising energy efficiency, responsible construction, procurement and finishes. It includes modern design elements for team member comfort, such as elevated interior spaces, landscaped inclusions, high efficiency lighting, natural ventilation and rooftop solar generation. 

The refurbished office achieved a 6 Star Green Star Built rating, a 5.5 Star Energy rating and a 4 Star Water NABERS rating.
