Community

 

People are at the heart of our business. We look to create lasting, positive social impact in the communities where we do business, through engagement, charitable giving, volunteering initiatives and through relevant client services. Below are our key aims for the Community pillar.

  • Increase the impact of employee volunteering: Expand employee participation in community volunteering initiatives and increase the overall time our people spend giving back to the communities where we operate. As part of this, we will work to tackle critical issues that will help people thrive in the places and spaces where we operate.
  • Increase the impact of our charitable giving: Each of Savills Principal Businesses aim to make available an amount of not less than 1% of underlying profit in any year to charitable causes, through financial or donations in kind, where appropriate and increase the impact of our charitable giving by ensuring we support causes that are progressively more aligned with our strategic priorities.
  • Raise aspirations and/or provide opportunities that enable people in the communities where we operate to progress in the workforce: We will support organisations, through our employee volunteering and/or charitable giving programmes that help raise aspirations and/or provide opportunities that enable people in the communities where we operate to progress in the workforce.
  • Increase the positive impact of our client work: We will look to grow the impact of our advisory work that delivers positive outcomes for clients and in the communities we operate in year on year. 

Highlights for Australia and New Zealand

In 2025, we supported a range of charities through volunteering and charitable giving across Australia and New Zealand. Some highlights included:

  • In support of the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea, the QLD, VIC, NSW and WA offices held the annual Savills Bake Off fundraising for research, prevention and support services for those affected by cancer.

  • Volunteering to support mothers and children who are struggling financially and unable to purchase basics for their babies/children. Throughout the day, our team cleaned 40 prams and ‘dressed’ 10 of them in baby's blankets, prepared and cleaned 22 donated car seats and highchairs, and put together four baby bassinets for families in need.

  • Volunteered to cook and serve a nourishing lunch to lend a hand for families staying at Ronald McDonald House, and participated in the Spring Golf Day raising funds for research into kids’ cancer.
