BIG PICTURE
“ Structural changes continue to positively impact the industrial property sector. As consumers’ demands increase, our customers are responding by consistently seeking to create more efficient logistics networks.
Locations close to consumers, coupled with technology advancements, are helping to increase productivity and efficiency in the supply chain, helping our customers meet consumer expectations.”
GREG GOODMAN CEO, GOODMAN GROUP
INVESTOR INSIGHT DECEMBER 2019

Goodman positioned for structural change
Consumer expectations around choice, price, and convenience are rising.
Consumers want almost instant gratification, where virtually everything needs to be delivered within a day or even less.
As a result, our customers are focusing on speed to market.
This is most evident in the big cities where Goodman operates.
Given this ever-changing world, over the last ten years Goodman has been consciously and strategically focusing our real estate on key infill markets, where land is scarce, consumerism is at its highest and consumer expectations are increasing. This has produced positive results for our customers and our business.

“There’s a lot of innovation
and excitement that takes
place around these sales
events. From collaborating
on product creation to
being able to purchase
the clothing models are
wearing in the many
fashion shows.”
Ben Cavender
Managing Director,
China Market Research Group
----- End of picture text -----
Singles Day (Double Eleven) – an e-commerce phenomenon
China’s biggest sales events such as Singles Day (Double Eleven) held on the 11th of November, or 6.18, held on the 18th of June, are an e-commerce phenomenon, generating billions of dollars of sales in a matter of hours. In 2019, the two biggest e-commerce companies generated more than US$61 billion in sales over the Singles Day event in November. This is more than three times what is spent online in Australia in one year – and they did most of that in one day.
What is it that makes these events so successful? Is it being able to buy fashion directly from the catwalk, the crosscollaborations to create bespoke product, or the logistics networks to deliver quickly to consumers?
Ben Cavender, Managing Director, China Market Research Group
“In China there are basically two big sales weeks. You have 11.11 and you have 6.18. These are “made-up” holidays that have turned into absolutely massive online sales extravaganzas. They’ve really been built as, this is your day as a consumer, to buy something for yourself that makes you happy.”
Kim Leitzes, CEO, PARKLU
Ben Cavender: “They have a lot of parties related to what the brands are doing. They do a lot of cross-collaborations during the sales weeks. They have fashion shows where they have a catwalk, and you can actually buy the clothing that the models are wearing on the catwalk.
Some retailers and brands use the sales day to introduce new technology. So, if you look at Alibaba and Jingdong and some of the other players, they have invested very, very heavily in improving logistics and infrastructure here – China has some of the first automated warehouses. So the demand is absolutely there for very fast delivery.
I think the thing with sales days and why they’re so successful here is, culturally, consumers like a good deal. They want to feel that the brands are thinking about them, treating them well.”
Kim Leitzes: “This is particularly powerful in a market like China, because there’s so much data. A new app could have tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of users, so the ability to recommend really relevant content is much easier than it was.”
Ben Cavender: “There is a little bit of that same frenzy that you get with Christmas shopping. But the biggest shopping days, 11.11, 6.18, it’s really about you and what you want.”
“Some brands are taking it to the next level. There are different levels of how you can engage with consumers, from gifting product all the way to the other extreme where you’re actually collaborating with brands to create products.”

SUSTAINABILITY
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The Group completed a comprehensive review of its sustainability practice, taking into account its continued growth and strong financial performance. The resulting 2030 Sustainability Strategy is structured around three strategic pillars. Each pillar is backed by short and long-term environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets. These represent key ESG priorities most relevant to Goodman, its stakeholders and the world more broadly.

Property
To make space for greatness, Goodman focuses on securing key sites for properties that will stand the test of time. We know that well-located, designed and managed properties are better prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. They are more flexible to meet customer needs, support their ongoing health and well-being, and are more resilient to climate impacts and generally experience higher occupancy rates. This maximises their asset value and is a sign that the properties are being used efficiently.
While our target is to use 100% renewable energy by 2025, this will be influenced by regional policies and energy markets. Our increasing proportion of rooftop solar, lighting upgrades and a raft of other energy efficiency measures will all contribute to our projected carbon neutral status.
People and culture Corporate performance
To achieve success, any organisation needs great people. That’s why we base our recruitment around merit, local knowledge and cultural fit. We’re always on the look-out for smart people who are aligned with our values and long-term thinking. Once on board, we incentivise our team to think strategically, work collaboratively and undertake programmes to improve their well-being.
While we remain clear about our purpose – to make space for greatness – our approach to achieving this goal in a changing world is adaptable.
We finance ourselves with sustainable capital and maintain low debt levels to allow us to stay active during different market cycles. We value the trust of our stakeholders and the chance to make a difference in the communities we operate in.
We also think beyond the needs of just our internal team and actively support our customers and suppliers, too. We have aligned commitments to their workforces and have a plan to expand our business ethics programme to look at the human rights and social equity aspects of our global supply chains.
To remain accountable and focus on continuous improvement, for the past eight years Goodman has participated in GRESB, the leading ESG survey for the real estate sector. Our ESG performance is analysed and scored, providing detailed insights for investors.
Importantly, we have a safety target of zero workforce fatalities. We believe the best way to achieve this is through strict workplace safety standards and making safety a responsibility for everyone.

Smart Irrigation System
With Australia in the grips of drought and dam levels continuing to decline, water conservation has become critical and is receiving a renewed focus across the broader community. We continue to investigate methods to help reduce water waste (and waste more generally) and have developed a new water-saving initiative.
A pilot programme in Sydney’s outer west has recently commenced which has delivered a 35% (or 160,000 litres) reduction in overall water usage over a three-month period, and as a result will see this initiative being implemented across the wider Australian portfolio.
What is a Smart Irrigation System?
Wireless based adjustment control system
-
- Allows remote access to water programmes via a smart device anywhere nationally
-
- Allows water programme adjustments at an indivual property or a group of properties to be made remotely
-
- Predictive watering adjustments based on local weather / soil moisture levels.
Automatic fault detection
-
- Leak detection using pulse water metre
-
- Flow sensing alerts based on set tolerances reducing water loss and equipment damage
-
- Real-time email alarm warnings for breakages or faults.
Real time water usage data
-
- Live dashboards providing real-time water usage data
-
- Comprehensive reporting system to meet both internal and external requirements.
What is the impact of Smart Irrigation System?
-
- Reduced water usage – more efficient than traditional manual time-based systems
-
- Reduced operating expenses – removes human intervention and audits, saving potentially 1,900 hours nationally
-
- Reduced capital costs – removes circa $100,000 in capital cost per annum associated with plant replacement due to irrigation issues
-
- Healthier landscaping and improved presentation – plants and lawns are being watered as and when required.
By June 2020, we are targeting to have the irrigation system installed across 41 sites with a further rollout of sites planned during FY21.

OzHarvest
Did you know that one third of the world’s food gets wasted every year?
In Australia alone, over seven million tonnes of food ends up in landfill, costing the country an estimated $20 billion.
OzHarvest is Australia’s leading food rescue organisation, collecting quality excess food from commercial outlets and delivering it, directly and free of charge, to more than 1,300 charities supporting people in need.
The organisation recently celebrated its 15th birthday with the Goodman Foundation, a founding partner.
Over the past 15 years, OzHarvest has redistributed over 43,000 tonnes of food which would otherwise be discarded, and delivered over 130 million meals to more than 1300 charities supporting the vulnerable in Australian capital cities and regional areas.
Having supported OzHarvest since inception, the Goodman Foundation has provided both office and warehouse space and refrigerated vans in several states. In 2014, Goodman and its supply partners built a fit-for-purpose facility to house OzHarvest’s head office and commercial kitchens in Goodman’s Alexandria Industrial Estate, South Sydney.
Other initiatives include the provision of a community vegetable garden, mentoring of team members and various other volunteering contributions under the Foundation’s ‘Do Good’ programme.

Friends & Helpers Foundation
Friends & Helpers is a not-for-profit charity organisation providing support to victims of domestic violence throughout the Los Angeles and Orange County area. The organisation runs two community outreach programmes: Back to School and Adopt a Family.
Goodman has supported Friends & Helpers for the past three years in the Adopt a Family holiday programme, where the team “adopted” a family and purchased gifts, toys and food for them.
Over the past two years, Goodman has also supported the Back to School programme. This aims to help children living at shelters stay engaged with their education and excited about returning to school after the holidays through providing them with essential items such as backpacks, supplies and snacks.
The Back to School programme event was hosted by Goodman in July this year, where the Goodman team and over 250 additional volunteers came together to help fill backpacks with school supplies and pack snack bags. A total of 2,319 backpacks and 1,815 snack bags were packed, while a raffle held at the event raised over $3,000, which was converted to grocery store gift cards for the families.
Stepping Stone House
38% of all Australian’s experiencing homelessness are under the age of 25. Without support and a safe place to call home, many of these young people disengage with education, employment and are exposed to factors which are detrimental to their health.
Stepping Stone House is an award-winning organisation providing accommodation and personal development to help homeless and at-risk youth be the very best they can be.
Established in 1989, this profit-for-purpose charity develops the self-esteem, emotional resilience, self-confidence and health of young people aged 12 to 24 years old. This is achieved through a combination of outdoor adventure education, counselling, careers and employment coaching, education and life skills. A specific focus is placed on giving the youth a fun living environment and has them leaving with wonderful childhood memories and improved well-being.
Goodman has supported Stepping Stone House since 2014 with funding, vehicle and furniture donations and volunteering.
Sleep Under the Stars is Stepping Stone House’s major annual fundraising event renowned for its community spirit and impact in addressing youth homelessness by bringing people together building cardboard shelters to sleep in for the night.

He noted that while the overall consumer market is subdued, online sales continue to grow and now account for 14.1% of total sales globally. Goodman is positioned to help customers manage this growth by organically adding to our portfolio in locations that are close to the major cities of the world, where land is scarce and barriers to entry are high. This helps our customers be closer to their customers.
