TORONTO, ON (October 15, 2021) - Cadillac Fairview (CF) is pleased to announce the Company’s results within the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) Survey. This year, CF ranked first in its peer group (North America - Diversified - Office/Retail/Core) and achieved a Green Star ranking for the sixth consecutive year. GRESB is the global standard for assessing ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) matters in real estate, and the Green Star accolade signifies a strong performance in ESG management, policy, risk and opportunities, stakeholder engagement, implementation and measurement. The 2021 real estate benchmark covers more than 1,200 property companies, real estate investment trusts (REITs), funds, and developers.

CF was also named a Sector Leader within GRESB 2021, which recognizes the best performers by sector, region and nature of ownership from across the GRESB Assessments.

“We’re incredibly proud to have achieved a first place ranking in this year’s GRESB Survey amongst our very competitive peer group,” commented John Sullivan, President and CEO of Cadillac Fairview. “Over the past year, we have made thoughtful considerations to our overall approach to responsibility and I’m pleased that our efforts have been recognized through important industry assessments including GRESB. Responsibility remains at the forefront of everything we do at Cadillac Fairview. We strive to have a positive impact on all facets of our communities, working in close collaboration with our people, clients, communities and all key stakeholders to envision and foster social connection, growth and sustainability.” 

Earlier this year, CF announced the company’s purpose statement, Transforming Communities for a Vibrant Tomorrow, to reaffirm its belief that human connection is at the core of individual and society health and well-being.
