ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

1. ADRHG’s environmental policy adheres to strict operating guidelines to ensure that we impose minimal impact on the ecosystems in which we operate. We work hard to educate and sustain awareness amongst our employees, contractors, suppliers and communities about the impact our business activities can have on the surrounding environment and place heavy emphasis on the responsible behaviour we expect of them in order to eliminate, reduce and control potential environmental impacts.
2. We seek to minimise the depletion of both local and global natural resources through optimal use, recovery, reuse and recycling of materials and energy.
3. ADRHG attempts to remove, substitute, reduce and control the use, release and disposal of all hazardous material and waste products through realistic and tangible action in support of pollution prevention. We also strive to ensure that our neighbours, communities, and other affected parties experience the least environmental impact from our activities.
4. ADRHG continually develops, maintains and improves performance by complying with best practice, legal and other requirements, furthering this process through frequent communication with contractors, customers, legislation bodies, environmental experts and shareholders.
5. ADRHG is committed to upholding the highest standards in environmental sustainability across all aspects of our operations. We work in line with the ‘green vision’, working towards strengthening awareness of a greener lifestyle through energy and water efficiency.
6. We will continue to be vigilant in conserving natural resources, preventing environmental pollution and maintaining the ecological balance for the long-term welfare of our communities and future generations.

Our energy management initiatives aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel usage and operational costs while enhancing equipment efficiency. The ADRHG Energy Management Process (EMP) lies at the core of our energy management thinking. It has been established to optimise operational asset efficiencies and maximise renewable energy opportunities. EMP helps us increase revenue by reducing energy usage and costs, improves our competitive position as a world-class facility management company and lowers ADRHG Properties’ and our carbon impact. 

Our waste management initiatives aim to reduce waste production, minimise waste sent to landfills, and ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We take construction and operational waste into account and have invested in reducing waste generation and increasing source separation. Across our communities, hospitality and retail businesses, a number of waste management initiatives are currently underway, each of which is tailored to specific waste characteristics and employs the most efficient conservation strategies. 

Efficient water management is a priority for ADRHG, as our properties use more than 500 million gallons of water yearly. We carefully monitor water usage and costs. The measures include sub-metering to limit use and leak detection. Sub-metering allows tenants to see their water usage, which helps them save. 

We are actively working to integrate greener, more environmentally friendly construction practices into both our current offerings and future projects. Our Building Design Standards and Guidelines ensure sustainable design in new construction and renovations. Our energy, water, and sustainable design practices decrease our environmental impact, utility rates, and operational expenses through durable and long-lasting products.
