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.

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.

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).
