Hassell

Hassell, founded in 1938, is a renowned privately owned international design firm headquartered in Sydney, Australia. It provides services in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and urban planning to the hospitality, commercial and residential sectors, as well as for public spaces. The firm operates in major cities worldwide, including London, Singapore, Shanghai and Sydney, and has been involved in projects such as the Optus Stadium in Perth, the Doha Grand Terminal and the Adam Smith Building at the University of Glasgow .

Summary

Hassell performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. The company indicates that its projects are accessible and inclusive, but it should provide details on the systematic actions it takes to improve accessibility. While Hassell states that it considers employee well-being a priority, it should also release a policy statement committing to the health and safety of workers. Additionally, though the company discloses its target for all building projects to be net zero by 2030 and its own operations by 2023, it is encouraged to report specific time-bound targets for reducing its scope 1 and 2 emissions. Hassell should also formalise its commitments to human and labour rights in its corporate policies.

Hassell has limited reporting on sustainability topics identified through a materiality assessment and lacks a comprehensive sustainability strategy. The company’s reporting on stakeholder engagement is also limited. Furthermore, Hassell provides no information on the core categories of its scope 3 emissions. Addressing these gaps will enable the company to strengthen its sustainability practices, build trust with stakeholders and align with industry standards.
