ACRE Capital are committed to furthering our ESG impact, performance and awareness. We wish to maximise the benefit of our ESG commitment to the wider community, our clients and employees.
We aspire to become an ESG leader in the commercial real estate investment advisory industry. We have a duty to our employees and clients to act responsibly and to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance measures into our working practise and lives. We are striving to make a positive impact on our society and our environment so as to maximise change for good.
Set out below are our ESG goals and achievements to date.
Environmental
Aim
Our overarching aim is to minimise our impact on the natural world and maximise our influence to promote sustainable investment strategies and working practice.
Introduction
We recognise the environment we work in is a precious resource which is subject to a huge range of pressures, not least climate change. We acknowledge that we need to be responsible custodians of the environment for not only our but also future generations. As a business, we have the responsibility to both influence our clients sustainable investment strategies and to tailor our operations to minimise both our and also our suppliers impact on the environment.
Societal
Aim
To maximise our positive impact upon the society in which we operate whilst supporting a motivated, happy and healthy ACRE team where diversity and equal opportunity is encouraged.
Introduction
The society in which we work in is a dynamic ecosystem which relies on mutual support, encouragement and diversity to thrive and reach its full potential. The commercial property industry has its own unique challenges in relation to the latter. ACRE Capital has the ability to positively influence and effect change, in both our immediate industry and wider society.
Governance
Aim
Our primary aim is to have robust and transparent company Governance and systems across all areas of the ACRE business whilst also recognising and supporting external Governance.
Introduction
Strong Governance is essential to the successful functioning and success of ACRE Capital. We acknowledge the needs to have in place robust systems, transparency and an accountable decision-making process. We also follow best practise which includes meeting mandated requirements by law.
