PRUPIM

We believe that behaving responsibly is not simply the right thing to do but is also a way of generating significant benefits which are closely aligned with our business objectives. As a leading real estate investment company, the range of activities that we undertake requires us to act responsibly in many different areas. We have a number of policies and standards in place to guide our business decisions and we ensure that our principles are put into practice through our leadership, training and performance appraisals .

Our Sustainability Commitment:

We will minimise the adverse social and environmental impacts of our business, uphold the integrity of our business relationships and ethics, and focus on the engagement and satisfaction of our staff to build long-lasting market advantage through increased competitiveness and brand value.

Our Sustainability Strategy:

Responsible business practices are central to and underpin our sustainability strategy which encompasses all our operations and activities. There are a number of sustainability issues which are relevant to all aspects of our business and/or require a centralised approach. These include:

• Working in partnership with our suppliers and joint venture partners to ensure that their operations are in line with our standards and principles. 
• Engaging with our customers to understand and respond to their evolving needs. 
• Treating our employees fairly and with respect and identifying ways to maximise job satisfaction.
• Maintaining the highest standards of Health and Safety to protect direct employees and contractors at our managed assets and on our development sites.
• Ensuring our business conduct is at least in line with the minimum legislative requirements, and where feasible exceeding these.
• Managing our own office environmental footprint in the same way as the assets we manage on behalf of client funds and investors.
• Contributing to local communities surrounding our managed assets and development projects
