August 12, 2022
Our customer Hesperia was founded by two of Western Australia’s most experienced property developers and now operates across a diverse range of disciplines such as commercial, industrial, residential, retail hospitality and sustainability projects. When Hesperia joined the Entrepreneurs Programme, they knew they wanted to keep moving towards a greener future.

Challenges faced:
For as long as human beings have existed, we have needed shelter. Fast forward to 2022, and the construction industry, responsible for providing us with the homes we live in and the places we work, shop, and play, has, without a doubt, taken a fair toll on our environment due to its use of raw materials and energy. Thankfully, the strong push towards green building projects is growing, and one such company making giant leaps in this direction is Hesperia.
“We see being accepted into this program as an important endorsement of our strategy. The access to a wider network of experts and firms looking for NetZero has enormous value.” Mark Taylor, Sustainability Manager
How we helped:
When Hesperia heard about the Ausindustry Entrepreneurs’ Programme and the Business Decarbonisation Pathways, working toward the Net Zero SMART Supply Chain Project, they swiftly stepped on board. This government-funded project aimed to assist SMEs in future-proofing their businesses by identifying pathways to becoming net-zero certified. By participating in the programme, Hesperia gained access to local net-zero experts and low-carbon technology providers. Growth Facilitator Tracey McClurg met with Hesperia to understand their journey to date and how to build on their current capabilities.
Outcome: Hesperia was making major headway toward its Net Zero approach and, in fact, was industry-leading, having recently won the Banksia Net Zero Action award 2022 for its lifecycle Net Zero approach across all projects and objectives related to waste and resource consumption in day-to-day operations and projects. Through the SMART Supply Chain project, the business was also eligible for a matched grant of $20,000 to help implement an integrated digital platform that would enable the business to monitor progress, gain actionable insights from reliable sustainability data, and provide robust, auditable ESG reporting metrics.
