OUR NET-ZERO OBJECTIVE
Decarbonization and long-term
shareholder value (SHV)
Our objective is to achieve decarbonization and long-term shareholder value through things like lowering energy and maintenance costs, improving air quality and occupant comfort, enhancing resident attraction and retention.
OUR NET-ZERO STRATEGY
With smart capital investment as a hallmark of our success, we are integrating three primary components into our net-zero approach at the individual property level: energy efficiency, electrification & refrigerant management and renewable energy.
HOW WE DO IT
For each of our senior housing communities, outpatient medical buildings and research centers with our operational control, we have developed property-specific decarbonization plans to maximize the net present value of the building improvements and realize net energy cost savings, while enhancing tenant and resident experience.
