BXP (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner,
and manager of premier workplaces in the United States, today
announced that it has been named to Newsweek’s list of America’s
Most Responsible Companies for 2023. BXP ranked first in the Real
Estate & Housing industry with an increased ranking of 29th
overall out of the 500 companies included and had the third highest
environmental score. In addition, BXP was named to the Dow Jones
Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America for 2022, its second
consecutive year in the highly selective index. BXP was one of
eight real estate companies that qualified.
“The real estate industry has an enormously important role to
play in mitigating the climate crisis,” said Owen Thomas, Chairman
& CEO, BXP. “I am especially proud of BXP’s environmental
ranking. BXP continues to provide leadership, in our industry and
beyond, demonstrating that a focus on sustainability is an
essential component of our operational strategy.”
“We are thrilled to receive these recognitions and again improve
our ranking as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies,” said
Ben Myers, Vice President, Sustainability, BXP. “BXP’s leadership
is the result of consistent and collective action across the
organization. We are walking the talk and believe that responsible
real estate ownership and investment contributes to progress on
social and environmental issues.”
Newsweek’s program focuses on a holistic view of corporate
responsibility that considers all three pillars of ESG:
environment, social, and corporate governance. The analysis and
ranking, completed by Statista, are based on both quantitative data
from publicly available key performance indicator (KPI) research
and corporate social responsibility (CSR) reputation data through
surveys of U.S. residents.
The DJSI North America is one of the most recognized benchmarks
of corporate ESG efforts, representing the top 20% of the largest
600 North American companies in the S&P Global BMI based on
long-term economic, environmental, and social criteria. The index
ranks companies across industries based on scores achieved on the
S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA).
