To support our efforts, we align to these sustainability principles:
- Build businesses and invest responsibly
- Govern with high ethics and transparency

- Improve efficiency and enhance value
- Promote well-being
Reporting strong sustainability and ESG progress in 2023
Driving long-term economic growth remains a core focus for GLP Capital Partners. By integrating sustainability and ESG principles across our business, we proactively address risks and opportunities of a complex and dynamic world, including secular megatrends. Our Sustainability Report 2023 covers our ESG-related activities and data from 1 January to 31 December 2023.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Minimizing climate change and our impact on the environment is a key part of our mission. Through engagement and coordinated action, we aim to continually improve sustainability in our company and across our portfolio of investments.
With a heightened focus on reducing our embodied carbon, we have developed a proprietary Life Cycle Assessment Guidebook that provides a standardized framework to measure potential greenhouse gas emissions from our real estate development projects around the world.
SOCIAL
Whether we’re creating safe, healthy work environments, assisting in employee career development, or engaging in community initiatives such as food banks and job training programs, caring for people (both ours and others) is a primary focus.
GOVERNANCE
Integrity and ethics are embedded in our DNA and reinforced through our training, education and culture. It’s why we have an uncompromising commitment to strong corporate governance, high ethical standards, and transparency with stakeholders.
Responsible investment policy
As a company, we hold a mirror up to ourselves each day and focus on staying true to our core values. Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policies reflect our commitment to stakeholders – to always be responsible investors and incorporate ESG priorities into our decision making throughout the lifecycle of our investments.
Aligning ESG with industry standards
We voluntarily report to and endorse several leading and global industry ESG standards and frameworks to be transparent and disclose ESG implementation and progress.
