Sustainability

Driving to ensure that the built environment supports a better tomorrow.

scroll

At LaSalle, we understand that the built environment has a significant impact both on the natural and social environment. Our mission focuses on three areas: the people in the communities where we work, the planet we collectively share and the investment performance our clients expect.

GRESB: Based on the 2022 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB), 18 of the firm’s funds and separate accounts, domiciled across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region, have been recognized again for their ESG standards. Learn more about GRESB here.
ENERGY STAR : Based on 2022 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year awards. Learn more about the awards here.
PERE: Based on PERE’s 2022 awards. Learn more about their methodology here.
WELL Health-Safety: LaSalle earned WELL Health-Safety Ratings for 193 office and multifamily properties in North America and Asia Pacific through the International WELL Building Institute following the successful completion of third-party documentation review by GBCI to confirm it has met the feature specific intents and requirements.

We believe that better buildings and building operations can have a positive effect on the natural world. They can also help build better communities by promoting social cohesion and feelings of togetherness. We also believe that, when implemented thoughtfully, these initiatives can coexist with producing the returns investors need.

We recognize that, when properly assessed and applied, strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices can produce positive long-term outcomes, protect the value of the assets under our stewardship and even positively influence investment performance. Our ESG management framework focuses on three key areas, in various stages of implementation, where we believe we can have the strongest, most immediate effects: climate, nature and resources, and communities. We tailor this approach to each fund and each asset, working to protect and enhance financial returns today and in the future.
