Boston Properties Named to 2021 Dow Jones Sustainability Index
Boston Properties, Inc., has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index North America for 2021. BXP was one of nine real estate companies that qualified and the only office REIT in the index, scoring in the 93rd percentile of companies assessed for inclusion.
“Our ESG leadership is the result of collective action across the company and a steadfast focus on conducting our business responsibly by addressing the key sustainability issues of our time,” said Ben Myers, VP of sustainability for BXP.
BXP has implemented energy conservation measures in actively managed office buildings that have reduced greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 70% and site energy use intensity by 27% since 2008. It has also aligned its emissions reduction targets with climate science and became the first North American office REIT to establish an emissions reduction target ambition in line with a 1.5°C trajectory. BXP is committed to achieving carbon neutral operations by 2025.
