We leverage our innovation, industry leadership, and expertise to establish the framew o rk for carbon neutrality, create healthy and resilient communities, and drive financial performance. Our commitment to carbon-neutral operations has been set for the Empire State Building by 2030 and the portfolio by 2035. We focus on a reduction of energy usage and emissions in our buildings with technical and economic balance, partner with policymakers, offset the remainder of our operations with 100% renewable energy sources, and will develop on-site or community- based renewable energy and storage where viable. Integration of sustainability into all aspects of our business predates our IPO in 2013. Our unparalleled approach to energy efficiency is integrated across our portfolio of 10.1 million square feet of office and retail space in Manhattan and the Greater New York metropolitan area. We have been industry leaders for more than a decade and share our processes and our work freely with experts, industry, and government. We are excited to share our inaugural Sustainability Report to highlight our work and our plans to continue to set the standard for sustainability in real estate. Our groundbreaking work commenced at the Empire State Building in 2009 which remains the largest and best example of energy-efficient, sustainable, and healthy building retrofit in the world. We continue to implement advances at our great lady as she celebrates her 90th birthday and throughout our entire portfolio. ESRT will extend our lessons learned and commitment to assets we acquire as we commit capital to expand our portfolio.
