Sustainable Infrastructure.

OUR APPROACH

Infrastructure projects shape how communities live, move, and thrive. With increasing expectations for projects to deliver against sustainability outcomes, a structured and credible approach to sustainability is essential from the earliest stages through to delivery and verification.

Perspektiv brings together one of the country’s most experienced sustainability infrastructure teams, with a track record of record-breaking IS Ratings. We provide end-to-end support, from Establishment, to Delivery, to Governance, helping projects achieve high-performing outcomes that stand up to scrutiny and deliver long-term community and environmental benefits.

Whether you’re targeting IS Ratings, Green Star Ratings, or meeting client-specific contractual obligations, rest assured, we’ve seen it before and can deliver practical, proportionate solutions to secure certification and ensure compliance.

Getting sustainability right starts at the beginning. The decisions made during the early stages of an infrastructure project set the tone for performance, compliance, and outcomes over its entire lifecycle. Without the right foundations, sustainability can easily become an afterthought, risking missed opportunities and costly rework.

Drawing on decades of experience and a track record of supporting some of Australia’s highest-performing IS projects, Perspektiv helps clients establish the systems, plans, and processes needed to deliver against ambitious sustainability targets. We align your project with IS v2.1 Rating Establishment Period requirements and we also integrate internationally recognised frameworks such as ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems and undertake Climate Change Risk Assessments (CCRA) to ensure sustainability is embedded in both project governance and resilience planning from the outset.

Our establishment services include:

Stakeholder engagement – identifying sustainability requirements early.

Sustainability Management System (SMS) – establishing fit-for-purpose frameworks.

Sustainability Management Plan (SMP) – preparing strategies that guide delivery.

Workshops – coordinating and facilitating collaborative planning.

Emissions modelling – creating robust carbon and energy baselines.

Climate change risk assessments – identifying and mitigating future risks.

Reporting frameworks – setting up clear and auditable reporting pathways.

Tender support – integrating sustainability into bids and procurement.

Training – building team capability from the outset.

Materiality assessments – identifying priority issues.

Base case proposals and BAU assumptions – establishing clear benchmarks.

By embedding sustainability considerations into the establishment phase, we set projects up to achieve their IS Rating targets while also delivering value for investors, communities, and the environment.
Effective delivery is where sustainability commitments become tangible outcomes. It requires careful integration of sustainability objectives into day-to-day project management, design, procurement, and construction. Done well, this not only improves performance but also minimises risk, strengthens collaboration, and enhances project reputation.

Our team of IS Accredited Professionals (ISAPs) has deep expertise across asset types and project scales. We provide hands-on support to implement sustainability tools, track performance, and ensure projects remain on course to achieve targeted IS Ratings. Beyond IS Ratings, we also support clients in achieving broader performance benchmarks such as NABERS, CBD, Green Star, GRESB, and WELL, ensuring sustainability outcomes are measured and recognised across multiple frameworks.

Our delivery services include:

Stakeholder engagement – ensuring buy-in and alignment with targets.

IS Rating implementation and integration – embedding sustainability into all delivery activities.

Sustainability Management System (SMS) implementation – operationalising plans and procedures.

Emissions modelling – tracking and refining performance throughout delivery.

Design, procurement, and construction integration – ensuring sustainability is built into every stage.

Performance tracking and reporting – providing transparency and confidence for project teams and stakeholders.

With our support, sustainability doesn’t sit on the sidelines, it becomes an active, visible driver of project success.
Strong governance is essential for credibility. Infrastructure projects must not only achieve their sustainability targets but also be able to prove they’ve done so with accurate, auditable evidence. Independent review and assurance safeguard project teams from risk, build trust with stakeholders, and demonstrate integrity in sustainability achievements.

Perspektiv brings together one of the most experienced IS governance teams in the country. Our experts conduct thorough, insightful assessments of compliance against IS Rating criteria, ensuring projects meet both the letter and spirit of sustainability requirements. Governance reviews can also be tailored to align with other frameworks such as NABERS, Green Star or WELL, ensuring projects demonstrate compliance and performance across multiple recognised standards.

Our governance services include:

IS v1.2 Rating Reviews – Man-3 IS Professional Reviews, Man-4 Sustainability Management Audits, Was-1 Waste Management Audits, Sta Credit Independent Audits.

IS v2.1 Rating Reviews – Lea-1 sustainability performance reporting, Res-1 climate and natural hazard risk assessments, Ene-1 final energy and carbon model reviews, Rso-4 resource output data auditing, Sta-2 stakeholder feedback reviews.

By providing rigorous oversight and independent verification, we help clients demonstrate accountability, maintain confidence with stakeholders, and secure high-performing ratings.
