SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH

Our strategic and disciplined approach focuses on delivery of long-term value to our stockholders and tenant base while supporting sustainability and resilience in the regions where we operate.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

We focus on reducing emissions from the operation of our real estate assets through energy efficiency, electrification and alternative energy, and renewable electricity. We further aim to reduce emissions associated with construction-related activities by engaging with our supply chain and targeting project-level reductions in embodied carbon through procurement to the extent practicable and commercially reasonable. We continue to make progress in these areas and have a reduction target focused on operational GHG emissions from our real estate asset base.
