Veuillez noter que l\u2019article a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9 en anglais seulement.<\/p>\n \u201cSustainability is a must-have in any forward-thinking organization. It denotes a company\u2019s ability to see the bigger, long-term picture and take action on its responsibilities as part of that picture.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n These words from R. Jason Ashdown<\/a>, Co-Founder and Chief Sustainability Officer at Skyline Group of Companies<\/a>, illustrate the strength of Skyline\u2019s commitment to community building, environmental stewardship, and ethical governance.<\/p>\n Founded and headquartered in Guelph, Skyline is originally rooted in real estate ownership and management (although it\u2019s also been making waves in Canada\u2019s clean energy sector since 2018). It adopted the phrase \u201cRecognizing our Responsibility\u201d to denote its duty to effect positive change for its stakeholders and the greater community.<\/p>\n To Skyline, sustainability is where policy meets practice – a results-driven effort that sets a precedent for the expectations of the organization and its stakeholders.<\/p>\n By employing sustainable innovations, practices, and initiatives throughout the company, Skyline can create efficiencies that generally flow through to increased value for investors. Over the years, it has found that the efficiencies and cost savings derived from improvements to properties often provide a return as good as or better than purchasing another building\u2014with those efficiencies often providing an environmental benefit as well.<\/p>\n Ashdown emphasized that sustainability should be viewed as an investment that provides multiple benefits.<\/p>\n \u201cThose benefits extend not only to the company, but also its customers, as well as the greater community and environment: a win-win-win situation,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Skyline has always believed that sustainability must involve buy-in from all its Sustainability Partners\u2014staff, tenants, suppliers, investors, and communities\u2014as well as putting the right infrastructure in place. It created a dedicated Sustainability department headed by Ashdown, as well as a Sustainability Taskforce to ensure that all parts of Skyline are equally heard, engaged, and committed to sustainability. These groups collaborate to strengthen Skyline\u2019s businesses and long-term strategy.<\/p>\n In 2022, the Taskforce undertook a workshop facilitated by SDG Cities to determine which of the 17 UN SDGs Skyline best aligned with (the SDGs, or Sustainable Development Goals, were developed by the United Nations to provide a globally aligned blueprint for sustainable development). The workshop resulted in Skyline aligning with eight SDGs, and the company\u2019s sustainability goals for 2023 were based on these commitments.<\/p>\n Skyline also releases an annual Sustainability Report<\/a>, setting its standards and benchmarks for sustainability with new initiatives and goals. The report is shared with all partners.<\/p>\n \u201cA strong sustainability plan will set a business apart,\u201d said Ashdown.<\/p>\n \u201cFor Skyline, it has helped drive profits, attract the best staff, create alignment with lenders and business partners, and provide investors with opportunities to put their money to work.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Businesses must be agile, adaptable, and open-minded to change, when that change is good for the business, its customers, its investors, and its communities.<\/p>\n Wherever possible, Skyline chooses to invest in technologies and processes that not only drive value for its investors, but also benefit its tenants, staff, the environment, or the greater community. For example, it invested in an ISO-14001-aligned Environmental Management System (EMS) and software that tracks Skyline\u2019s portfolio-wide consumption data to develop carbon, energy, water, and waste reduction targets and strategies.\u202fThis investment not only creates efficiencies resulting in greater investor value, but also clear environmental benefits and an initiative Skyline\u2019s tenants and staff can feel good about.<\/p>\n Additionally, earlier this year, Skyline submitted its first Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) application – the product of a cohesive effort to inventory its ESG-related policies, processes, and operations.<\/p>\n \u201cGRESB will score us by a globally recognized benchmark,\u201d said Ashdown.<\/p>\n \u201cUnderstanding how we measure up will undoubtedly drive our efforts to find efficiencies and better processes to stay on top of our game.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n While financial support and donation is fundamentally important, businesses can get creative when it comes to the type of resources they can leverage to effect positive change. This includes utilizing in-house services, expertise, time, partnerships, and influence to have the greatest possible impact.<\/p>\n \u201cEmployers have so much to offer through the many diverse areas of expertise within their organizations,\u201d said Ashdown.<\/p>\n \u201cNon-profit and community organizations often greatly need specialized experience like accounting, HR, legal, marketing, IT – even business planning. We encourage our people to roll up their sleeves, get involved, and find ways to help the organizations that make our communities better and stronger.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n When a company contributes to building a resilient community, it is helping to contribute to prosperity, a healthy workforce, a stronger economy, a cleaner environment, and reduced demand on social services. Skyline aims to lead by example and set the benchmark for companies to take action and prioritize sustainability in lockstep with profitability \u2014because doing good is simply good for business.<\/p>\n \u201cThe results are proven, and the movement of acting responsibly will only continue to gain momentum,\u201d said Ashdown.<\/p>\n \u201cSustainability is a must-have to be at the front of the pack in any industry. People are watching, and people care.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n To learn more about Skyline\u2019s sustainability initiatives and to find out how it is driving positive change, read its 2023 Sustainability Report.<\/a><\/p>\n Skyline Group of Companies (\u00ab\u202fSkyline\u202f\u00bb) est une entit\u00e9 pleinement int\u00e9gr\u00e9e consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019acquisition, \u00e0 la gestion, \u00e0 la promotion et \u00e0 l\u2019investissement d\u2019actifs.<\/p>\n Elle est compos\u00e9e de soci\u00e9t\u00e9s offrant des services de gestion et de promotion dans les secteurs de l\u2019immobilier et de l\u2019\u00e9nergie propre.<\/p>\n \u00c0 l\u2019heure actuelle, Skyline g\u00e8re un portefeuille de plus de 8,23\u202fmilliards de dollars en biens immobiliers et d\u2019\u00e9nergie propre.<\/p>\n Forte d\u2019un effectif de plus de 1\u202f000\u202fpersonnes partout au Canada, Skyline s\u2019emploie \u00e0 offrir \u00e0 ses locataires des milieux de vie propres, confortables et s\u00e9curitaires, des environnements propices aux affaires, des solutions durables pour assurer un avenir vert et une exp\u00e9rience conviviale \u00e0 ses investisseurs.<\/p>\n Regardez la vid\u00e9o du 20e\u202fanniversaire de Skyline<\/a> pour d\u00e9couvrir une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9solument immobili\u00e8re anim\u00e9e par ses gens et tourn\u00e9e vers l\u2019avenir.<\/p>\n Pour en savoir plus sur Skyline Group of Companies, rendez-vous sur le site SkylineGroupOfCompanies.ca.<\/a><\/p>\n [Guelph (Ontario)\u202f\u2013 Le 13 octobre 2023] Skyline Group of Companies, une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de Guelph (Ontario) sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e dans l\u2019acquisition, la gestion, la promotion et l\u2019investissement d\u2019actifs, devient la r\u00e9f\u00e9rence en ce qui concerne le r\u00f4le du d\u00e9veloppement durable dans les affaires.
