We lead with responsibility.
The Realterm Way means that we are not only doing the right thing for investors and tenants but also for the communities we operate in. We strive to embed socially responsible principles and practices into everything we do.
Annual Sustainability Report
As our Annual Sustainability Report demonstrates, we have put ESG+R practices at the heart of our organization. We’ve seen firsthand the positive impact the transportation and logistics industry can have in the countries where we live and work and the world and how it can generate long-term value for our shareholders. We believe these initiatives happen through global solidarity, and everything we do is connected to local needs and the broader international effort.
Environmental Initiatives
Realterm investigates and implements beneficial “green” building and construction techniques to its development projects. We remain sensitive to delivering these green initiatives while balancing the economics of the initial project costs and long-term operational expenses to deliver an environmentally sensitive yet cost competitive development.
Our projects are consistent with the characteristics of high performance green buildings, when appropriate.
Not only does Realterm participate with LEED and BREEAM green building certificates globally, but as we grow globally, we plan on participating with other green building certificates that are relevant within all markets Realterm operates.
Read more about our Objectives and TargetsResiliency
Realterm’s resilience strategy intends to support the transition to a low carbon economy and to ensure the continuity and resilience of the business by ensuring that our funds are resilient to the impeding impacts of climate change. Physical climate risk screening has been conducted for all assets across our Funds using Moody’s 427 and Cervest physical climate data. Realterm is also a member of TCFD.
Over the course of 2022 and 2023, we will build upon this using additional datasets and tools to further assess the impact that material physical and transition risks may have across our Funds under various climate and temporal horizons. This analysis will allow us to determine the key climate-related risks posed to our Funds, and to identify opportunities from these risks through appropriate adaptation and mitigation strategies. It is vital to understand these risks at an early stage to avoid physical facility disruption and financial loss.
Social Responsibility
Realterm understands the importance of social responsibility and the role we play in the communities around us and abroad. Community engagement is a key aspect of our dedication to creating a positive impact throughout our business practices. We choose to conduct business in a way that reduces societal risks and increases the opportunities for our community members through philanthropic activities. Realterm is working to create a network of charitable opportunities to better serve our community and create a sustainable net positive impact.
Realterm has a number of ways it gives back to the community and the environment. Through philanthropic efforts, green initiatives, charity donations and more, Realterm is working to provide support and resources to the community.
