Responsible investing

Resilience is built in.

Environmental, social and governance considerations are integrated into how we underwrite, develop and manage assets - focused on resilience, performance and long-term value.

Responsible investing is investment discipline.

We focus on material factors that can affect asset quality, operating performance and long-term value.

Value creation & risk management

Responsible investing as a value-creation discipline.

Environmental and social performance are treated as asset-level business-plan variables. We price energy transition, regulatory exposure and operating resilience into underwriting, capital plans and active asset management.

Energy transition & cost reduction

Systematic building and unit upgrades, energy-performance improvement and forward regulatory compliance reduce operating costs and support stronger net operating income.

Income durability & tenant retention

Housing quality, affordability and professionally managed communities support occupancy, tenant retention and more resilient income through market cycles.

Governance & reporting

ESG considerations are incorporated into underwriting, Investment Committee materials, capital expenditure plans and asset-level reporting, with performance tracked against defined targets.

Development standards

Our development framework covers seven areas, with project-level targets and certification schemes selected for each market:

  • Energy and climate
  • Ecosystems and water
  • Climate adaptation
  • Materials
  • Hazardous substances and waste
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Equal conditions and participation
Measurement and reporting

We monitor asset-level performance against targets. Certification and operating data support investor reporting and exit preparation, with reporting requirements agreed for each mandate. Our priorities are informed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals most relevant to our assets.
