Our Commitment
ESG+R at Granite REIT
Granite institutes ESG+R practices into its management approach and operations to build a blue chip, globally diversified logistics real estate company that ensures the efficient use of resources and promotes the prosperity of the natural environment.
To make progress, Granite has established short and long-term sustainability goals and objectives that are considered during every decision-making process.
Biodiversity and Beehives
Beyond influencing utility consumption, Granite explores other sustainabilityinitiatives to deploy across our sites that encourage environmentally conscious practices, such as access to alternative transportation andeducation on biodiversity.
Granite currently has three beehives across three properties in Ontario, Canada that are managed by Alvéole, a hands-on beekeeping service. As keystone species, bees and pollinators in general play an essential role in fostering biodiversity and we encourage preservation and protection for them. In our efforts to promote a healthy environment, with the help from our on-site honeybees, we are able to use the bees as education tools, purchase Alvéole honey products to share our beekeeping story, and provide real-time metrics on our beekeeping efforts.
