Sustainability

Health Care REIT's commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development is demonstrated through its engagement in these areas:

  • Sustainable-built environments
  • Renewable energy and green power initiatives
  • Green cleaning practices to sustain “healthier” work environments
  • Recycling programs
  • Tenant-focused sustainability programs

With an experienced in-house LEED-accredited staff, a partnership with ENERGY STAR® and work with organizations like the Department of Energy’s Commercial Building Energy Alliances, Health Care REIT is making innovation work for its partners, tenants and clients every day. Moreover, Health Care REIT will continue to deliver innovation through energy management and sustainability with the new Green Arrow Energy Management Program.

Sustainable Business Practices

Health Care REIT is committed to incorporating sustainable business practices in its development and property management. To support tenants who are interested in creating a healthy environment in which to deliver care, a self-guided sustainability certification program was developed to identify and quantify sustainable business activities.

Renewable Energy Usage

Health Care REIT supports tenant/partners with a green renewable energy procurement program. Tenants that participate in the program can offset grid-tied power use with renewable energy credits and decrease the health risks associated with fossil fuel energy sources.

Sustainable Construction and Development

For both new and renewing Health Care REIT medical office building tenants, Health Care REIT provides guidance and incentives to incorporate energy-efficient and sustainable features in the renovation and construction process.
