Sustainability becomes a key requirement for tenants nowadays as they begin to account for the importance of providing a workplace conducive to the wellness of its people. Focusing on the direct correlation of sustainable working conditions to employee productivity, organizations start to take up strategies and initiatives that not only promote environmental gains but also lead to a reduction in operational costs.

With these strategies and increasing demand for sustainable buildings, developers are starting to explore green building certifications and adopt practices instrumental to environmental conservation. Being the trusted stewards of the properties under our care, for property management firms like Colliers, it is beneficial to be on top of the green initiatives. Accountability is one of our top commitments for the buildings that we handle, and it is our responsibility to ensure that our strategies are aligned with the developers' vision as well as the tenants' requirements.
