Sustainable operations are increasingly important to our clients, mitigate regulatory fines in certain cities, and achieve lower capital costs by attracting sustainability-focused equity and fixed income investors.”
“Efforts to conserve resources, improve energy efficiency, decarbonize operations, benchmark performance, and achieve third-party certifications contribute to BXP’s sustainability leadership and commercial success,” said Ben Myers, SVP, Sustainability, BXP. “Designing, delivering, and operating sustainably benefits our stakeholders through operational expense control, superior client service, risk mitigation, and protection of asset value.”
