The Swig Company expands sustainability reporting in its latest publication

SAN FRANCISCO - May 31, 2022 - PRLog -- The Swig Company deepened its commitment to environmental stewardship, positive social impact and responsible governance with the publication of its 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, which expands on the company's annual sustainability reporting and allows it to share more of what it is doing with stakeholders.

Sustainability has been a core value of The Swig Company, a privately owned real estate investor operator, since its founding and is woven into the company culture. For its fourth annual report, the firm published a more comprehensive ESG report based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an industry standard framework.

"Transitioning to a GRI-based report was an important step towards specific, measurable goal setting and accountability, and also allowed us to highlight important aspects of our company structure and community initiatives," said Kairee Tann, Vice President of Innovation and Asset Management.  "The expanded report underscores our commitment to setting specific criteria to monitor our sustainability efforts. Reducing impacts on the environment with sustainable building programs starts by evaluating processes and projects that decrease energy consumption, water use and waste, and by adopting strategies that mitigate climate risk."

Highlights from the report include:

• Expanded sustainability reporting and governance, which resulted from a materiality assessment recently completed at The Swig Company.
• The company's continued efforts to create elevated tenant experiences by incorporating environmentally sustainable and wellness features in building renovations and expanding its portfolio of buildings with green certifications.
• Increased community engagement activities, such as growing its Engaging Tomorrow's Workforce initiative through partnerships with organizations that support underserved students.
• Heightened support for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) by adding binding DEI language to vendor contracts, reporting on the diversity of its workforce and other initiatives.
• Information about The Swig Company's core values and how the company fosters the well-being of its employees.To read the full report, visit www.swigco.com/images/SwigCo_2021_ESG_Report_FINAL.pdf
