With support and investment from our partners, we aim to achieve 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.
