Elanor Investors Group has been selected as an Employer of Choice in The Australian Business Awards 2023.

Elanor Investors Group is a real estate funds management business focused on acquiring and unlocking value in real estate assets to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. Elanor Investors Group has over $3 billion in commercial property investments across Australia and New Zealand. Elanor was founded in 2009 and listed on the ASX in 2014. The Group is acutely focused on delivering exceptional investment returns and making positive and impactful social and environmental contributions to the communities in which it operates.
Elanor is:
- Passionate: They are passionate about performance
- Urgent: They execute with urgency
- Different: They seek to challenge the status quo
- Collaborative: They respect each other and value teamwork
- Caring: They care – for their people, their investors, their community and their environment
Values play a crucial role in shaping Elanor’s priorities and decision-making processes. By aligning their actions with their values, they build trust and credibility with their stakeholders, foster a strong corporate culture, and achieve long-term success. Their Personal Growth Review program supports and encourages behaviours consistent with Elanor’s mission, purpose, values, strategy and business model.
Elanor fosters transparency by communicating openly and honestly with its employees, investors, and other stakeholders. Live and lead by example, teach their values through orientation, training, induction and onboarding and reinforce their values in all communication – at every employee touchpoint from recruitment, policies, processes, position descriptions and how it engages with their people. Values are incorporated into their personal growth review program and define their priorities across their Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) and WHS strategies.
Their ESG Committee plays a major role in assessing and overseeing the implementation of the Group’s environmental, social and governance initiatives across the business. Elanor continues to refine its ESG strategy and this strategy guides their ESG ambitions and helps them to prioritise initiatives for the years ahead. Throughout the year, Elanor has made sustainability improvements at some of their real estate investments through energy efficiency projects and renewable energy generation and sourcing.
Elanor has found through recent surveys that their staff have good working relationships with their manager, enjoy challenging work in a fast-paced environment, feel appreciated and recognised, and enjoy Elanor’s collaborative approach to all projects and work.
Elanor’s culture is a unique blend of family-friendly, a new start-up feel of energy and passion, with good corporate governance, while going through a significant growth rate to support their ambitious but not unrealistic goals. Elanor focuses their hiring certainly on technical skills but primarily on their company values to ensure the best culture fit.
Finally, and in summary, Elanor believes their most important asset is their people, who benefit from a focus on personal growth, fostering of a learning culture, and an acute focus on Work, Health and Safety across the business.
