Sustainability

SVC’s business strategy incorporates a focus on sustainable approaches to operating our properties in a manner that benefits our shareholders, tenants and the communities in which we are located. We encourage our managers and tenants to operate our properties in ways that improve the economic performance of their operations, while simultaneously managing energy and water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

SVC’s environmental sustainability and community engagement strategies are primarily implemented by our managers and tenants.

Recent sustainability highlights include:

Publishing of New Policies: In 2022, our Board of Trustees adopted four new policies, available on our Governance page, including a Business Partners’ Code of Conduct, an Employee Health and Wellness Policy, a Human Rights Policy and a Philanthropy Policy.
