Our commitment to responsible leadership and structured governance is reflected in our comprehensive ESG strategy. We focus on embedding ESG principles across all facets of our business, from existing properties to new developments, enhancing reporting and transparency, and using systematic data to inform decision-making.

In the coming years, the ESG program that stands out will be the one that integrates into the thoughts and actions of each employee, influencing their daily tasks. Our goal is that when asked "who is accountable for ESG?", every one of us will confidently raise our hand, indicating our collective responsibility.
