INDIA SUSTAINABILITY

Empower our people.

Creating a community requires more than a strong physical foundation. It requires vibrancy that comes from people engaging, connecting and having a sense of purpose and belonging. As a part of community building, we are constantly reimagining the potential of workplaces while driving its strength through diversity in the ecosystem.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

At Brookfield Properties, we recognize that diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental to creating a thriving and equitable workplace and community. This dedication extends beyond our organizational boundaries as we actively engage with occupiers and communities to champion these values.

We regularly organize events and initiatives that celebrate diverse identities and foster a culture of belonging. Notably, our commitment to an equal representation of women in the workforce is exemplified by our efforts to recognize the achievements of women across our ecosystem and reinforce our commitment to gender equity.

We have committed to abiding by these principles by achieving the WELL Equity rating for our North Commercial and South assets. The WELL Equity rating, part of the WELL Building Standard, emphasizes universal accessibility, diversity, and community engagement, ensuring that our buildings are welcoming and beneficial to all occupants.

By integrating these efforts, we cultivate a culture where safety and wellbeing are fundamentally embedded and prioritized within the organization.

Our thorough safety and well-being management systems are structured around the Deming PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle, ensuring continuous improvement and adherence to the highest standards of Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) practices.
