ENVIROMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Reducing the environmental impact of every property we own and operate 

As a significant player in a resource-intensive industry, we know that every action we take impacts the environment. By minimizing waste, reducing water and energy consumption, lowering carbon emissions, and investing in renewable energy and innovation, we are responsible stewards of the environment. As part of the ESG strategy, Minto set targets to reduce portfolio energy use by 10% and water use by 5% by 2025 compared to a 2019 baseline.
