Sustainability
At Kilroy, we believe that investing in high performance green buildings demonstrates both responsible corporate citizenship and good business sense. As such, we pursue excellence in sustainability throughout our portfolio, both in new developments and existing buildings. Our projects span both our new development and the operations of our existing buildings, and we focus on energy efficiency, water reduction, and site selection.
We also see ourselves as drivers of change. As such, we push the market for sustainability products through implementing the highest standards for materials and equipment purchasing throughout our portfolio. Also, we believe that only what is measured is improved, so many of our projects focus on reporting requirements for energy, water, and purchasing both internally and for those with whom we work.
A critical factor in the success of any sustainability program is our relationship with our tenants, and we pride ourselves on working with tenants to achieve their sustainability goals as well as ours. This includes collaborating to understand the energy usage of existing buildings, and leveraging our internal resources to investigate the environmental aspects of tenant improvements and ongoing operations.
We have been investing in projects that promote energy efficiency, reduce water use, and improve air quality for over six decades. Today and tomorrow, we will further our longstanding commitment to sustainability by aggressively pursuing high-performance environmental building initiatives that create economic value for our tenants, shareholders and employees.
