Creating economic value

Every Westfield destination generates economic activity, investment opportunities and provides direct and indirect employment through operations and redevelopments.

Westfield destinations

We have a unique platform, combining physical stores with an online digital presence. Creating the most efficient platform for businesses to connect to more customers and opening that platform to more businesses is one way we create value.

Our suppliers

Our direct supply chain includes a wide range of organisations and industry sectors. These organisations are predominantly located in Australia and New Zealand.

Most of our supplier expenditure relates to the operation of our Westfield destinations, particularly cleaning and security services and maintenance. Our expenditure with suppliers in the development, design and construction categories is cyclical and depends on our development program and pipeline.

Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses

Our Reconciliation Action Plan (2022–2024) Plan focuses on improving employment opportunities and economic partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses.

We have been a corporate member of Supply Nation since 2017 and continue to focus on building meaningful business partnerships with locally-based Supply Nation-accredited businesses to expand the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses we engage with.
