At Starlight, we work diligently to understand, measure and take necessary steps to lead us to low carbon, resilient, healthy and equitable spaces. We have had rapid growth in our portfolio over the last five years. This is why we continue to benchmark, track and align with industry best practice frameworks
Carbon emissions intensity reduction
Green building certifications
EV charging stations
Rooftop solar installations
Water intensity reduction
Energy intensity reduction
With support and investment from our partners, we aim to achieve 50% carbon emissions reduction (scope 1 and 2) by 2035, and net zero carbon emissions by 2050 (all scopes) or sooner. Our target is aligned with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Climate Agreement and further commitments made by our partners. We are also exploring net zero carbon options for all new development projects, with a goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions from 2030 onwards.
While our experience positions us well for our targets, we know achieving net zero carbon is a joint effort with our investors, partners and communities to find opportunities, innovate and adjust along the way.
We see the value in taking a comprehensive approach to how we position our existing buildings for decarbonization. We are focused on asset improvements first and foremost, developing and procuring renewable energy and only purchasing carbon offsets for residual carbon emissions.
Identify current baseline emissions and evaluate future opportunities and risks for our growing portfolio.
Prioritize and develop net zero carbon pathways at the building level.
Establish good governance and reporting to hold ourselves accountable to our partners and communities.
