We support various international sustainability initiatives and commitments, including major United Nations charters, principles and goals. We are committed to being a responsible business and to create positive impact.
| Signatories or Commitments | Details |
|---|---|
| The United Nations Global Compact | We have been a staunch supporter of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) since 2012 and strive to adhere to each of the Ten Principles, reaffirming our commitment to respect labour standards and human rights, to operate in an environmentally responsible manner and to maintain zero tolerance towards corruption. The UNGC is an international initiative outlining the Ten Principles for responsible business in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. The principles are derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organisation (ILO)’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption. We are committed to eliminate any instances of forced labour, child labour or any forms of human trafficking. |
| The Women’s Empowerment Principles |
We are the first REIT in Asia to endorse The Women’s Empowerment Principles, and we are committed to implementing the principles at all levels of our business. Jointly promoted by the UN Women and UN Global Compact, The Women's Empowerment Principles is the global champion for gender equality, working to develop and uphold standards and create an environment in which every woman and girl can exercise her human rights and live up to her full potential. |
| The United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment |
Demonstrating our commitment to responsible investment, we became a signatory to The United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2017. The PRI is an international network of investors working together to put the six Principles into practice. While supporting long-term value creation, the application of the six Principles help to align investors with the UN initiative Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). |
| The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals | Since 2018, we have aligned our sustainability focus areas with The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While we look at how we can contribute to each of the SDGs, our efforts are primarily focused on SDGs 9, 11 and 17, which are most relevant to our business. |
| Science Based Targets initiative Corporate Net Zero Standard | We have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net Zero Standard in May 2022 to upgrade our Net Zero Strategy. SBTi Net Zero Standard provides the guidance and tools for companies to set science-based net zero targets. |
| Business Ambition for 1.5°C | By committing to the SBTi Net Zero Standard, we have simultaneously joined the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign to set science-based Net Zero targets consistent with limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. |
| Urban Land Institute’s Greenprint Center for Building Performance | Since February 2023, we have become a Greenprint real estate member, a global alliance of over 70 cumulative real estate owners, developers, and investors who committed to improving the environmental performance and accelerating decarbonisation efforts of the real estate industry via measurement, benchmarking, knowledge-sharing and implementation of best practices. |
