Corporate Responsibility
Healthcare Realty recognizes the importance of embedding environmental, social and governance (ESG) best practices into its strategy, philosophy and operating performance.
Our commitment to corporate responsibility is paramount in everything we do – in the services and facilities provided to our tenants, as financial stewards of shareholder capital and as responsible citizens in the communities where we live and work. We continually seek ways to be more efficient, reduce waste and engage with stakeholders to produce better financial outcomes and minimize our environmental impact.
The pathway to achieve sustainability is rooted in Healthcare Realty’s Sustainability Principles and Policies, which are:
Integration
Embed and integrate leading ESG practices designed to enhance portfolio performance into Healthcare Realty’s daily operations.
Impact
Drive positive impact across the Company while mitigating risk and creating long-term value for our customers, investors, employees, and the communities in which we live, work and invest.
Integrity
Conduct business with integrity, respect and excellence, earning the right to be a preferred provider of medical office properties.
