Introduction
Unos Property Development or (UPD) is an organization located in Perth and focuses on
property development. The company has engaged in the development of both residential and
commercial properties. However, the company fails to focus on sustainable developments to
build its reputation such as water and energy efficiency. The company’s current position is based
on a high-density housing project which is also called the Perth Skies as well as operating on a
low rise. The company aims to provide water and energy for efficient housing and promote
sustainability. Therefore, the significant problem of discussion surrounding the company is water
and energy efficiency. The significant corporate strategies involve identifying areas with
insufficientwater and energy to ensure development and achieve its goals. Therefore, this report
analyses the corporate social responsibility, strategies, and offers recommendations for the
company.
Findings and Discussion
The UPD Company seeks to embrace corporate growth strategies which can guide it to
stabilizing water and energy efficiency. The company integrates a technique which design the
technologies operation to enhance water and energy efficiency. Through the technologies, it is
expected that homes will acquire low energy and water costs (Byrne, Dallas, and Newman, 2014
p.10). The strategy of market penetration allows the company to increase the market share as the
demand for water and energy increases (Abidin, 2010 p.423). Market development strategy
ensures that the UPD can expand fast and water and energy are supplied to the unexplored
markets. For that reason, several market segments are introduced to ensure new regions at Perth
are explored. The strategy of product development allows UPD launch new projects which

facilitates water and energy supply to enhance efficiency. Therefore, through water and energy
efficiency, the company is marketed hence increases the turnover. Also, water and energy
efficiency can be achieved through accessing the distribution channels of the company. Finally,
UPD can adopt diversification which is a strategy that involves launching products and services
on completely new markets. This is a risky strategy which will allow UPD achieve its objective
to solve the issue of water and energy efficiency in the region. Homes need to be filled with
equipment and appliances to meet customer’s overgrowing demands (Hill, Jones, and Schilling,
2014 p.50). Also, the selection of energy systems determines the extent of energy use and annual
costs (Jenkins, and Yakovleva, 2006. p.272). Customer expectations which are connected to
cultural norms as well as the regulatory standards should consider the development of
technologies in regard to water and energy efficiency (Dijken, 2007 p.140)..
On the other hand, corporate social responsibility ensures UPD experiences pressure to
increase profits by enhancing water and energy efficiency. In regard to increased customer
awareness based on water and energy efficiency, the customers seek UPD to conduct the right
operations. For instance, water and energy efficiency are basics of good living for the people.
Therefore, customers are aware of the benefits of water and energy efficiency hence put pressure
on the company by questions on the issues. Due to corporate social responsibility, UPD adopts
strong programs which guide on complying with the stakeholders' demands as well as the
customers. Byrne, Dallas, and Newman, 2014 suggests on the establishment of water and energy
efficient appliances which are achieved through corporate social responsibility. Introduction of
an integrated monitoring system helps the property development companies define the main
competencies hence a superior value is created to outdo the competitors (Berry, Whaley,

Davidson and Saman, 2014 p.85). Therefore, corporate social responsibility ensures the project
developments companies like Unos achieve additional values such as trustworthiness, honesty,
and loyalty to all customers and stakeholders hence strong relationship is accomplished within
the region (Langston, 2008 p.30). Also, the company can define is goals and objectives within
the industry and avoid fines from the government (Robichaud and Anantatmula, 2010 p.48).
Therefore, Unos depicts an effective corporate social responsibility hence it can address the
issues of water and energy efficiency as a significant competency. UPD learn to embrace its
responsibilities for the actions and ensure there is water and energy efficiency for better living
standards of the people.
Recommendations
Since Unos Property Development Company is a significant property developer, it should
focus on expanding globally by engaging in joint ventures. For instance, facilitating water and
energy efficiency will help it find a need to expand. For this reason, the company will develop
effective corporate strategies which will help it address the issues. For instance, the company can
opt to harvest rainwater, dig boreholes, greywater reuse, as well as embrace water-efficient
fixtures. In the case of energy, the company can try making use of wind, water, and other natural
sources of energy to minimize costs .The company should seek to adopt more corporate
strategies which will help in increasing revenues while minimizing costs. Also, UPD should
focus on enhancing good relationships with customers and stakeholders to help address concerns
based on water and energy efficiency at Perth. Therefore, proper customer and stakeholder
analysis will be important to ensure value programs for water and energy generation are
established in the region.
