Amanda Steele is group executive, head of property for ISPT, a business with a strong sustainability profile in the built environment. 

In her current role, Amanda is in the leadership team; but in the past she’s had direct sustainability roles at Stockland and CBRE and before that under the mentorship of our current Governor General Sam Mostyn when they were both at insurer IAG.

In this podcast, Amanda talks about the drivers of ESG, the success of ISPT’s retrofit of 500 Bourke Street in Melbourne, and the challenges that we can expect as the rollback of globalisation and political upheaval in the climate battle continue.
