Embassy REIT aims to achieve its 2040 net zero carbon operations goal by utilizing 75% renewable energy by 2025. Besides the existing 100 MW solar plant, the REIT is strategically planning to increase its current 120 MW onsite and offsite renewable energy capacity by installing new solar plants across Bengaluru and NCR. This renewable energy capacity expansion will require additional capital investments above the Rs 300 crores Embassy REIT has already committed to its ongoing ESG initiatives.
Embassy REIT's ESG program has received several accolades from renowned global institutions, including a 5-star rating from both GRESB and the British Safety Council. Green Business Certification Inc recognized Embassy REIT as the world's largest 'USGBC LEED Platinum-Certified' office portfolio (v4.1 O+M). Embassy REIT's sustainable finance portfolio has grown to over Rs 3,900 crores, and two of its listed bonds were recently awarded at the prestigious 'Asset Triple A Country Awards for Sustainable Finance'.
