Value Creation Through Responsible Investment
Our Corporate Responsibility program is centered around the concept of responsible investment—an overarching strategy that guides our focus and actions across our three main themes of Environmental Stewardship, Social Responsibility and Governance.
Sustainable financing is a key component of our strategy that enables Host to integrate sustainability into our acquisition, development and redevelopment pipeline, as well as help reduce our cost of capital. To date, we have an aggregate total of nearly $5 billion of financing with sustainability attributes, including green bonds and a sustainability-linked credit facility with two-way pricing incentives tied to initiatives that contribute to both decarbonization and resiliency within our portfolio.
