We will aim to minimize the environmental impact of our buildings by using sustainable materials, implementing efficient water management systems, and promoting indoor air quality.

Climate change mitigation

We will actively work towards reducing our carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions by setting targets for emission reductions, monitoring energy consumption, and implementing energy-saving initiatives. We will also assess and manage climate-related risks and opportunities in our real estate portfolio.

Social impact

We will actively engage with local communities where our commercial properties are located. Our initiatives will include supporting local economic development initiatives, participating in community events, and seeking opportunities to contribute to community well-being through partnerships with local organizations.
