Bentall Kennedy’s approach to Responsible Property Investing (RPI) is market-leading, comprehensive and adaptable to individual client portfolio performance objectives. Our integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into real estate investment management aims to enhance our performance as a fiduciary and strengthen our ability to add value to our clients’ assets.

The principles of RPI are firmly embedded in our business practices and form a central part of our investment strategy. They are also fundamental to ongoing asset and property management, as well as client reporting. Our focus on RPI is supported by dedicated senior staff and internal resources in Canada and the US, and a corporate culture of conservation and sustainability. Our commitment to addressing real estate’s environmental and social impacts is reflected in the strategic relationships we establish with clients, customers and service providers, and the partnerships we forge in the communities where we do business.

Bentall Kennedy is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and the UN Environmental Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). Ongoing collaboration with like-minded organizations, including the RPI Center at Harvard University, enables us to continue to advance our ESG practices. We are also active in many organizations and industry associations that support RPI. We share best practices, successes, challenges and lessons learned through our experience with our peers, and speak regularly at industry conferences in North America and abroad.
