Rewild achieves JUST Certification!

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved JUST Certification through the International Living Future Institute! Alongside our B Corp certification, we believe this meaningfully reinforces our commitment to transparency, equity, and responsible business practices.

Rewild’s JUST certificate

What is JUST Certification?

JUST is a voluntary disclosure tool developed by the International Living Future Institute. It functions similarly to a ‘nutrition label’ for organisations, providing a clear and accessible summary of policies and performance across key social and governance indicators. These include areas such as:

• Equity and diversity

• Employee wellbeing

• Stewardship and community engagement

• Transparency and accountability

Rather than prescribing a single pathway, JUST emphasises honest disclosure and continuous improvement.

Where JUST Fits

JUST sits alongside the Living Building Challenge as a complementary framework. While the Living Building Challenge focuses on the performance of buildings, JUST focuses on the performance of the organisation behind them.

Together, they provide a more holistic view of sustainability—spanning:

• Built outcomes (energy, water, materials, health)

• Organisational impact (people, governance, equity)

For Rewild, this alignment reflects how we already operate: connecting ESG strategy with ESD delivery to ensure outcomes are both measurable and meaningful.

Why It Matters

Achieving our JUST certification is not just another badge, it’s a practical and strategic tool that supports both internal improvement and external credibility. It provides:

• Transparent reporting on equity and organisational practices
  A structured way to disclose how decisions are made, how teams are supported, and how accountability is maintained.

• A credible framework for social sustainability
  An increasingly critical pillar alongside environmental performance in the built environment.

• Alignment with ESG and procurement requirements
  Particularly as clients and governments place greater emphasis on social value, governance, and ethical supply chains.

• A clear signal to clients and partners
  Demonstrating that values, culture, and governance are embedded—not aspirational.

Value for Projects and Clients

For project teams, JUST also has practical downstream benefits. It supports outcomes under frameworks such as Living Building Challenge and Green Building Council of Australia’s Green Star.

Within the Living Building Challenge, all projects must have a Just labelfor at least two project team organisations with an integral role in decisions during both design and construction phases, and an additional five organisations involved in the project must complete a Just Self-Assessment. Working of a Living Building Challenge project was once of the initial drivers for us pursuing the JUST certification.

As rating tools continue to evolve, the ability to demonstrate organisational integrity and social performance is becoming increasingly important.

What This Means for Rewild

Achieving our JUST certification formalises many of the practices we already prioritise, while also challenging us to go further. It strengthens how we support clients navigating ESG and reporting requirements, integrate social sustainability into project outcomes and further supports how we operate internally with clarity, fairness, and accountability. Interestingly, our B Corp certification lay the foundations for many of the areas that we were awarded for within JUST.

Most importantly, it reinforces a simple principle: sustainability is not just about what we design and deliver, but how we operate as an organisation.

Looking Ahead

As the built environment continues to evolve, the integration of ESG and ESD will only deepen. Certifications like JUST play a key role in bridging that gap, ensuring that the industry’s ambitions are matched by the behaviours and systems behind them.
