October 10 2024 - 4:01PM
Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) announced today it has once
again earned the top ranking in its peer group of Americas
Diversified Listed real estate companies by the Global Real Estate
Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB). The ranking is part of the 2024
GRESB Real Estate Assessment's Standing Investments Benchmark. The
comprehensive actions that helped secure these rankings are
detailed in the company’s recent Communities Report and reinforce
advancements made across the national portfolio of acclaimed Howard
Hughes communities.
Each year, GRESB assesses and benchmarks the performance of
assets worldwide, providing clarity and insights to financial
markets on complex sustainability topics. The assessments are
aligned with international reporting frameworks, goals, and
emerging regulations and rankings are determined based on a
combination of performance indicators, including risk management,
energy consumption, water use, and stakeholder engagement.
“Howard Hughes is committed to building communities that provide
an exceptional quality of life deeply rooted in a respect for our
natural environment,” said David O'Reilly, Chief Executive Officer
of Howard Hughes. “The recent recognition by GRESB is a powerful
endorsement of our strategy, our commitment to responsible
development, and our work to date.”
Earlier this year, Howard Hughes joined a select group of real
estate companies, leading the industry as they received validation
of near-term emissions reduction targets by the Science Based
Targets initiative (SBTi), the company received validation for
three separate near-term targets, committing to reduce Scope 1,
Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions across its business segments. The
targets are aligned with the Paris Agreement to limit global
warming to 1.5°C and will guide the company’s decarbonization
efforts across all strategic developments, operating assets, and
regions. This validation underscores a thoughtful, informed
approach to sustainability that, along with its recent
GRESB score, continues to set Howard Hughes apart in the
industry.
“Howard Hughes is dedicated to finding new ways to innovate,
manage, and benchmark our performance as we accelerate progress,”
Gautami Palanki, Senior Vice President of Sustainability Strategy
of Howard Hughes, added. “From 2022 to 2023, we reduced water
intensity by more than 25% and energy-related emissions by more
than 20% across the Howard Hughes portfolio. Our recent GRESB
ranking and SBTi’s validation of our emissions targets are
important new milestones on our journey as we continue to improve
efficiency throughout the portfolio.”
