Nominations for Future Green Leader of the Year 2021 are open

16 Dec 2020

Meet our 2020 Future Green Leader, Stella Matulessya

Each year we recognise an up-and-coming leader who is an advocate for sustainability in the property industry – and who we believe is making a real difference with their passion and drive for change.
In 2020 our Future Green Leader judging panel selected Stella Matulessya. Stella was chosen for her passion, technical knowledge and ability to communicate and engage with a range of stakeholders.
When Stella received the award she was RMIT’s environmental management advisor, embedding sustainable design in RMIT’s capital development program, managing and reducing operational waste generation, and maintaining the ISO 14001 certified environmental management system.
We spent some time with Stella to hear about her new adventure, her year as our Future Green Leader and what her hopes are for the year ahead.
