Leading the Way
RioCan is among leaders within the Canadian real estate industry on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) best
practices. As part of our pledge to continuous improvement, we participate in the GRESB survey every year.
As a real estate investment trust, we shape the future, and as community stewards we have a responsibility to do it
right, sustainably, and sensibly.
We strive to lead the industry by initiating conversations with all our stakeholders, including customers, tenants,
employees, co-owners, investors, planners, regulators, and suppliers about more sustainable options in the
communities where we
operate.
