Our Purpose is creating extraordinary places, connecting and enriching communities. Our Plan is to create the places more people choose to come, more often, for longer. Our Ambition is to grow the business by becoming more essential to people, communities and the businesses that interact with them. We are a responsible, sustainable business and balance our approach across the four pillars of community, talent, environmental impact and economic performance. Our destinations are in close proximity to 20 million people. The Group's total assets under management are $51.2 billion represented by $35.0 billion SCG investment, and $16.2 billion of third-party funds. We own 7 of the top 10 centres in Australia, and 4 of the top 5 centres in New Zealand. We have a unique capability to activate our centres and create moments that matter to our customers and communities. Our proactive strategy to attract more people drives visitation and in 2022 we welcomed 480 million customer visits. We actively curate our destinations to meet the needs of our customers and communities. In 2022 we achieved record leasing deal activity which reflects strong demand from businesses and brands to connect with customers in our environment. We continue to enhance the Westfield platform by putting our customers at the heart of our strategic investments and customer initiatives. Scentre Group acknowledges the Traditional Owners and communities of the lands on which our business operates. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and to their Elders past and present. We recognise the unique role of Māori as Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa/New Zealand.
