Thoughtfully sustainable
Net zero by 2035 or sooner
Our approach to net zero is built into every stage of how we plan, operate and invest – using measurable actions and continuous improvement to reduce our impact and steward healthy, resilient places to work and live.
A global strategy
Sustainable, healthy buildings
As our portfolio evolves and our business matures, we’ve built a strategy, fortified by measurable goals, that delivers environmentally sustainable buildings.
2035
Net zero carbon for the operation of our assets or sooner
2050
Net zero carbon for the whole life cycle or sooner
Asset-level roadmaps
Delivering Net Zero through measurable action
Achieving net zero demands coordinated action across the assets in our global portfolio. We deliver this through clear targets, disciplined execution and a commitment to continuous improvement. Our 2035 net zero carbon goal focuses on reducing asset-level emissions through lasting structural change, with each property following its bespoke decarbonization pathway.
Energy efficiency and demand reduction
Achieved through targeted investment in building envelopes, systems and smart technologies.
Electrification of building systems
Replacing fossil-fuel systems with electric solutions to enable the transition to clean and renewable power.
Reducing what remains
Addressing residual emissions with discipline
Pembroke addresses remaining near-term operational emission by applying a disciplined hierarchal approach:
Verified renewable electricity procurement
Including Renewable Energy Credits, utility green power programs and power purchase agreements.
Selective use of high-quality, independently verified carbon offsets
Used with the intent to reduce offset reliance over time when emissions can’t be feasibly eliminated.
Our commitment
Regional execution, portfolio accountability
Pembroke’s global portfolio spans diverse regulatory environments, grid conditions and building characterizations. Our net zero strategy is implemented at the local level while maintaining portfolio consistencies, governance and accountability.
Access regional decarbonization
Regional teams analyze decarbonization pathways aligned with local infrastructure, policy and grid characteristics.
Monitor portfolio performance
Portfolio performance is monitored to inform reinvestment decisions and ensure progress is aligned with our 2035 and 2050 commitments.
The core of what we do
Beyond operations: whole-life carbon responsibility
Looking ahead to 2050, Pembroke’s whole-life net zero commitment extends beyond building operations to encompass the carbon impacts of construction, materials and waste across the building lifecycle. This includes continued efforts to reduce embodied carbon in development and manage operational waste responsibly across our assets.
