Our ESG initiatives are aimed at accelerating inclusive and
sustainable growth.



Mr. Aravind Maiya
Chief Executive Officer
At Embassy REIT, we are not just solving for today. We are running our business for the long-term and aspire to serve all our stakeholders for decades to come – be it our investors, occupiers, employees, vendors or the local communities around us. With that view, two years ago we moved away from running multiple ad hoc environmental and social
programs; and created a holistic ESG framework focused around three key pillars of Resilient Planet, Revitalized Communities and Responsible Business. Since then, Embassy REIT has been at the forefront of catalyzing positive change and has ingrained sustainability into our very core and across all of our business functions.
