ENVIRONMENTAL
Two-Year Goals for Regenerating Urban Spaces We’ve set higher targets to ensure we further reduce our environmental footprint over the next two years. Meeting these benchmarks means that we can save our customers critical operating resources and invest our own savings into the community – training under-resourced workforces and creating additional jobs. → Reduce energy consumption by 3% in 2021 and 5% by 2022.
→ Reuse local materials in 25% of construction projects.
→ Reduce emissions by 15% at all new portfolio properties within three years of acquisition.
→ Divert 45% of waste in operations; develop and implement plans to reach zero-waste targets.
→ Divert 70% of waste in construction.
→ Obtain IAQ certifications for at least 20% of portfolio properties.
→ Launch composting programs at 10% more portfolio properties.
→ Conduct risk assessments of 25% of portfolio properties.
→ Commit to 15% green procurement in construction.
→ Opt into clean energy programs at 10% more portfolio properties and purchase $1 million in clean energy.
→ Reduce water consumption by 5%. → Select 20% local procurement.
We’re setting the goal of saving $3 million total based on the above changes to our processes and new benchmarks.
