Develop and Manage Sustainable Assets
Through the real estate life cycle, our mission is to build sustainable buildings delivering exceptional operational services to our customers. We strive to support both the achievement of our stakeholders’ sustainability targets and implementation of a low carbon economy by providing greener, more innovative and more resilient assets.
Greenhouse gas emission and energy management
GLP Europe is committed to minimise greenhouse gas emissions associated with the construction and operation of its assets as well as its business activities. This is achieved by adopting a holistic approach that tackles both embodied and operational carbon emissions.
Climate change
GLP considers climate change adaptation and mitigation solutions central to the future resilience of our business. We are working on further strengthening our commitments and approach toward climate change.
Water and wastewater management
Although water use is relatively small in the operations of logistics buildings, when compared with other building types managing impacts on local water sources is an important consideration in construction. We understand the importance of comprehensive and effective water and wastewater management systems to minimise the impact of our assets and constructions on the surrounding environment and water resources. For this reason, we promote the adoption of clear measures to improve water and wastewater management, including responsible construction practices, water efficiency, collection and the reuse of water (such as rainwater harvesting) and sustainable urban drainage solutions (SUDs).
Green building and energy certification
We acknowledge the importance of adopting the highest environmental standards. We are committed to strive for the highest energy performance beyond the minimum standard set by local energy performance regulations and to demonstrate environmental and social sustainability through the adoption and promotion of green building certifications. This helps to prove and demonstrate our efforts in reducing environmental impacts, mitigating climate change, conserving resources, protecting biodiversity, and meeting stakeholder expectations (both for occupiers and investors) in meeting the highest standards. Green building certifications such as BREEAM support several aspects of social value: health and wellbeing of asset users, accessibility and inclusivity etc.
Customer Engagement
We recognize that a customer-centric approach represents a key driver for operational success and efficiency. We are putting effort on creating and maintaining a long-lasting and trustworthy relationship with our customers by offering solutions that cater to their changing needs especially related to sustainability. GLP Europe promotes an active engagement with its customers to foster a sustainable management of its assets and enhance value. We encourage this collaborative approach in our lease agreements.
