We never lose sight of our fundamentals: to improve the environmental and social performance of our portfolio.
Our Approach
Sustainable Communities Matter.
We believe a company cannot be sustainable if it focuses on environmental concerns without looking at its impacts on its employees, tenants, and communities. Our efforts significantly reduce our environmental footprint, enhancing our client’s comfort, health, and financial savings.
We have aligned our objectives with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and will continue to use the SDGs to help refine our objectives in the coming years.

Environmental
Driving environmental progress through design and operations.
Our sustainability efforts are broad, and include a focus on energy, carbon, water, waste, health & wellness, and stakeholder engagement. We identify climate change as both a risk and an opportunity to our business and we build these factors into our strategy and risk management efforts. Our sustainability programs contribute to long-term value creation and help shape our corporate strategy.
We are proud to have achieved carbon neutral operations across our portfolio since 2020. Our carbon neutral operations strategy covers all Scope 1, 2, and 3 (downstream leased assets) emissions and involves the following strategies: onsite energy efficiency, onsite renewable energy generation, offsite renewable energy purchasing, renewable energy certificates (RECs), and verified carbon offsets.
