The REIT and publicly traded real estate industry makes up the physical structures of our nation’s communities and as such is uniquely positioned to take a leadership role in environmental stewardship, social responsibility and good governance practices within our society.
Delivering long-term value in today’s business landscape requires a more holistic approach that serves all stakeholders, including investors, tenants, employees and communities, and systematically addresses the full spectrum of environmental, social responsibility, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. As REIT stakeholders become increasingly impacted by and interested in corporate ESG performance, the ESG journey for REITs and publicly traded real estate is urgent and accelerating.
