Sustainability Policies To implement effectively our sustainability program and achieve our ambitious targets, we developed Standard Operating Procedures which are consistently implemented and tracked throughout 100% of our buildings. These are intended to set goals, strategies, best practices, and resources to equip our property management and building operations staff to implement practices in alignment with our strategy.
OUR STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES INCLUDE:
•Environmental Management System aligned with ISO 14001 • Energy and Greenhouse Gas Management
• Sustainable
• Indoor
Procurement
Environmental Quality » Indoor Air Quality Monitoring and Testing that evaluates viral size particulate matter, mold and mildew, and integrates CO 2
• Vendor Code of Conduct • Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience
High-Performance, Sustainable, and Healthy Building G uidelines are integrated into all leases. These guidelines include performance-based criteria for energy, water, healthy IEQ, responsible materials specifications, and waste diversion. Our Vendor Code of Conduct guides ESRT vendors to meet our mandates and helps promote and measure sustainability, diversity, and ethical conduct in our vendor relationships. We seek vendors that provide products and services that embrace ESRT’s commitment and enforce the Code provisions throughout their organization and across our supply chain.
