2023 marks another year of significant progress in all areas of our Environmental, Social and Governance program. Our team at Artis, alongside our Board of Trustees, remains steadfast in their commitment to the advancement of ESG initiatives throughout the organization – a promise we made to our owners in 2021 as part of our redefined strategy

This starts within our own offices – by cultivating an environment that not only prioritizes sustainability, but also integrates it, such that ESG becomes a foundational component of business and an integral part of our day-to-day operations and culture. Our goal is to create a true ESG-minded company. We are committed to conducting our business in a sustainable manner, with a focus on continuous and measurable improvement and transparency in all areas of our ESG performance.

The strides we have made in the past year further demonstrate our serious commitment to ESG principles. We have made significant progress in 2023, including submitting to GRESB, reducing like-for- like energy and water consumption, receiving various employer awards and implementing several new, sound governance policies. These are only a selection of achievements from the past year. Throughout 2024, we will continue to seek ways to track and reduce our environmental footprint, be active and engaged members of the communities in which we operate, a good corporate citizen, and ensure our policies and practices throughout the company are reflective of our dedication and commitment to sustainability.
