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.
