Our Journey 

Cope Willis, Managing Director of Sustainability is leading Greystar’s ESG path forward as we prepare to publish our first annual ESG report this year.

“At Greystar, we are proud to be on our Environmental, Social, and Governance journey and excited to implement our ESG strategy further across our business to positively impact our residents, clients, and partners.”

- Cope Willis, Managing Director, Sustainability

With ESG objectives outlined across each of our business lines – investment management, development and construction, and property management – we are planning to invest further in and enhance our global ESG program across strategy, people, investment process, technology, and reporting throughout the year.  

Our Strategy 

ESG at Greystar is a journey, and we are continuously moving forward. We continue to evolve our global ESG strategy as we thoughtfully approach our environmental, social, and governance goals:  

•  Environmental Strategy: Our primary focus revolves around identifying opportunities to enhance the efficiency and resilience of        our assets. This approach includes addressing crucial aspects such as climate and carbon management, green building                      practices, and sustainable solutions for waste and water management. 
  
  

•  Social Strategy: Equally essential to our mission is the promotion of positive impacts for our team members, residents, and the          communities we serve. To achieve this, our efforts are centered on fostering a people-centric culture, providing impact                    housing solutions, and ensuring the well-being of our residents.
  
  

•   Governance Strategy: A fundamental aspect of our vision is governance. It stands as a strong pillar overseeing the                             implementation of best practices in governance and ESG reporting, while upholding professional standards and maintaining             transparency throughout our operations. 

Our Future 

As a leader in the real estate industry, we understand the significance of addressing the issues that matter most to our stakeholders. Our commitment to ESG principles drives us to continuously evolve and push boundaries, allowing us to meet the goals we have set for ourselves.   

At Greystar, ESG is not just a checkbox; it's at the core of who we are. As we move forward, we're committed to a future where responsible practices, social well-being, and environmental stewardship come together to create positive change.
