HOOPP builds and invests in healthy, energy-efficient buildings that help preserve the environment while providing long-term investment value for our Plan members.

We are committed to further understanding the key issues that will impact the health of the environment and our approach to sustainable investing. Our 2018 Real Estate Sustainability Report highlights performance areas such as energy, waste, water and carbon emissions, as well as engagement with managers, tenants and other stakeholders to foster sustainability business practices for the long run.

Here are some 2018 sustainability highlights:

• Launched three new strategic initiatives
• 72% of properties have implemented a sustainable procurement policy
• Engaged tenants on sustainability at 90% of properties
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 8,000 tco2e, which is equivalent to removing over 1,700 cars from the road
• 14% of portfolio has renewable energy purchased or generated, representing our largest coverage to date

Our annual LEAP conference and awards bring together property managers from around the world to discuss and recognize industry-leading practices. This year’s event was held in Toronto on June 20 and explored how we move forward on sustainability and business performance.

HOOPP has also achieved recognition for its commitment to environmental sustainability standards in real estate, winning two prestigious awards at the IPE Real Estate Global Awards 2019. We received the award for Investment in North America and the award for Sustainable Strategy.
