Our ESG Strategy is focused on four priority areas: nature and circularity, climate change, community investment and sustainable value chain. Our progress against these priority areas, including how we have leveraged our approach to attract capital, is reported in this section.
We continue to successfully leverage our sustainability approach and forward-looking ambition to drive positive capital outcomes across our real estate funds.
Nature and circularity initiatives that contribute to QIC Real Estate portfolio’s long- and short-term ESG objectives are identified and implemented through continuous improvement programs, annual business planning and 10-year capital planning processes.
Climate change is an increasingly important focus for QIC. Understanding the risks and opportunities presented by climate change allows us to make more informed decisions across our investments.
Our privilege as a real estate owner and manager is the role we play in serving our communities and delivering for our clients. We seek to play a meaningful role in our communities through our community investment programs and other asset-based initiatives.
QIC welcomes the increasing attention being directed towards modern slavery in global supply chains, and the opportunity to work more closely with our suppliers, and others in our value chain, to deliver better ESG outcomes together.
