Asset Level Sustainability Practices
Implementation of the Varia US ESG Policy’s Sustainability Practices at the asset level is referred to our “Bottom-Up Approach” to ESG. Achieving success on issues like utility usage, renewable energy and emissions reduction does not happen without boardroom support, but that is just the beginning. It takes a continuous concerted effort from the Company’s asset management and site staff responsible for the day-to-day operations at each community, as well as the cooperation of the residents that choose to call these communities in which we invest their home.
