Corporates like the Embassy REIT reiterate the importance of "Reimagine, Recreate, Restore"
Each year, World Environment Day serves as a reminder that critical and immediate changes are needed to nurse Earth back to health. This year, the UN theme ‘Ecosystem Restoration’ urges us to revive, conserve and protect ecosystems that are under threat.
Businesses and their stakeholders worldwide have become increasingly aware of the critical role they can play in enabling effective, impactful and timely interventions. Institutional investors are pushing corporations globally and in India to demonstrate comprehensive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies
Embassy REIT leads the way
Among those leading the charge is Embassy REIT, India’s first publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trust. The REIT owns and operates a portfolio of eight infrastructure-like office parks and four city‐centre office buildings across India, with leading global and Indian corporations as tenants. As a leader in the office parks space, the company has set the tone for redefining best practices in real estate, with focus on high-quality environmentally sustainable practices and wellness projects.
Michael Holland, CEO Embassy REIT, believes companies have a responsibility to grow without compromising resources for future generations. “We must all focus on a more sustainable model, for business, for the individual and our society. The challenge facing the corporate world is to deliver increased productivity and bottom lines and yet contribute to a greener and more sustainable ecosystem,” he says.
