Sustainability Execution Built Into the Platform
Sustainability is embedded in how assets are evaluated, planned, and operated. Decision making is grounded in the assessment of physical and transition climate risks and opportunities, with targeted risk assessments conducted to identify exposure and strengthen portfolio resilience.
Decarbonization strategies are developed and executed through an in-house team working alongside asset management, construction, and property management, ensuring regulatory considerations and future performance standards are addressed at the earliest stages of capital planning. Oversight from the Sustainability Committee guides priorities, execution, and measurable progress across the portfolio.
Sustainable Investing
Crown’s comprehensive investment strategy guides our approach to sustainability across our Managed Portfolio, based on key criteria, including tenant ESG goals, owner objectives, and stages within the investment lifecycle. Its purpose is to go beyond regulatory requirements to meet or exceed industry best practices, ensuring we protect the value of our assets and build resilience for our investors.
Crown ensures the sustainability certifications in our buildings are meaningful indicators for our tenants, investors, or the market in which the property is located.
We prioritize certifications that reflect the goals of our tenants and investors, and align with our investment thesis. Our approach delivers credible, transparent outcomes, avoids greenwashing, and maximizes long- term value.

Crown considers how to safeguard assets from climate-related physical and transition risks, while maximizing operating efficiency.
Physical risks, such as extreme weather, are mitigated through infrastructure modifications.
Transition risks, which include evolving government policies, technology, and market dynamics, are considered as we devise capital plans for our assets and integrate intelligent upgrades into our planning decisions.

Our Strategy ensures assets comply with municipal and provincial regulatory requirements, including Ontario’s EWRB, the City of Toronto’s Net Zero Buildings Target and the City of Ottawa’s Energy Evolution Action Plan.
Crown conducts regular audits as part of our energy and waste management policy and we provide regular and accurate disclosures of environmental performance data through our Energy Management System.

Together, these focus areas support a disciplined sustainability strategy that strengthens performance, reduces risk, and positions assets for long-term resilience.
As a private partnership, Crown takes its fiduciary role seriously, ensuring responsible management and prioritizing investor interests. Our approach to good governance includes:
