ESG Compliance
ESG Investment Criteria
Our philosophy is to adhere to each of the three key elements. Specifically, the social element is incredibly sympathetic to our investment criteria, as our critical underlying requirement is that each rezoned project is eventually leased to operators who specialize in servicing the needs of social and care housing.
ESG is an acronym defining three fundamental areas of sustainability that property owners and landlords should consider: environmental, social, and governance.
• Environmental: Environmental building factors typically spotlight a property’s carbon footprint and address energy consumption, water usage, and waste management. Environmental considerations may also include how well a property is positioned to handle climate-related risks like wildfires, rising ocean levels, and extreme weather.
• Social: Social considerations focus on a property’s impact on its tenants and surrounding community. Social effects may include the non-monetary value a property adds to a community, revitalization of urban areas, local infrastructure support, and employee health and wellness.
• Governance: Governance refers to the human side of company management and includes management structure, transparency, diversity, equity, and inclusion. A company’s core values and ethics are essential to good governance.
