ESG impact investing

What we target, over what period, and the ESG standards every opportunity is assessed against.

Target returns for each opportunity are set out for approved investors in the investor portal. Returns are not guaranteed and capital is at risk.

Every opportunity is assessed against our framework, One Planet Living, at acquisition, with improvements built into the capital plan and measured in operation.

ESG investing

ESG investing is central to how we improve an asset. By reducing energy and resource use and making buildings more efficient to operate, we aim to lower operating costs, increase net operating income and improve valuations. Environmental performance and investment performance are considered together.

We assess opportunities at acquisition, include improvements in the capital plan and measure their impact in operation. Each initiative is assigned one value channel, so the same benefit is not counted twice. Our framework is One Planet Living.
