Environmental, Social & Governance

We believe prioritizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors differentiates our company, supports innovation and, most importantly, benefits people and the planet. For us, this means providing meaningful career and leadership opportunities for our employees, creating exceptional spaces and experiences for the people who live and work in our buildings, pursuing sustainable development and investment opportunities, and optimizing energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, minimizing waste and water impacts, and delivering value at every step.

Hines recently embarked on a firm-wide effort to accelerate our sustainability efforts through the lens of ESG. Our ESG approach is grounded by a strategic framework. Foundations are the global policies, practices, and processes we adhere to across the firm to ensure Hines meets market requirements and industry best practices. Our disclosures and external reporting commitments seek to bolster our position as a globally recognized industry leader. And our ESG pillars contain the focus areas through which we strive to lead the market by attracting and retaining great talent and aligning with progressive investor and client goals.
