Green Star Fitouts resources

Guidance for every stakeholder

Green Star Fitouts supports every stakeholder in the fast-moving fitout process, from owners and tenants to architects, designers and contractors. Access tailored guidance below — whether you’re deepening your understanding or preparing to make the case.

For building owners

Green Star Fitouts offers a practical, scalable pathway to reduce Scope 3 emissions, cut waste and carbon risk, and turn the hidden impacts of fitouts into measurable, manageable outcomes.

For corporate tenants

Green Star Fitouts gives corporate tenants a practical way to redesign workplaces that support wellbeing, reduce carbon and waste, and demonstrate authentic ESG leadership.

For retail tenants

Green Star Fitouts helps retail brands turn store environments into a visible expression of their sustainability commitments — reducing impact while enhancing the customer experience.

Case studies

From workplaces to retail, see how certified projects are reaping measurable benefits – and how you can too.

How can we work together to overcome barriers and accelerate change to remove embodied carbon from the built environment and drive towards a net-zero future?
