Howard Hughes Puts Sustainability First in its Developments

The Howard Hughes Corporation recently released its 2020 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, showing impactful ESG results from the company’s long-standing stewardship of its communities. In alignment with the United Nations’ sustainable development goals, Howard Hughes’ commitment to environmental and social best practices embodies a respect for nature, inclusivity and connectivity.

“Maintaining a sustainable approach to development is at the heart of what we do. It is our commitment to our stakeholders, to our communities and to the world in which we live,” said David R. O’Reilly, chief executive officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation. “This sense of responsibility has guided the growth of our master-planned communities for many decades, long before the principles of environmental, social and corporate governance fostered the global movement known as ESG. Our master-planned communities were founded on the large-scale exploration of many of the smart growth principles that are promoted today and impact the quality of life in our communities.” 

With its recent acquisition of Douglas Ranch in Phoenix’s West Valley, Howard Hughes now operates the country’s largest portfolio of large-scale master-planned communities with more than 100,000 acres across six states.
