    Exceptional places. Responsible practices.

    For over 60 years, Oxford has been committed to connecting people to exceptional places and our environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices play an important role in delivering on that vision. We are proud of our efforts. Here are a few highlights over the last year:

    • Being recognized by leading publications including PERE as Global ESG Firm of the Year and by Fast Company, for the fourth consecutive year, as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for our approach to sustainability
    • 125 GW low carbon energy consumption
    • 19% reduction in carbon emissions intensity since 2019
    • Committing to reduce portfolio carbon intensity across OMERS to 50% by 2030, as a meaningful step toward achieving our net zero 2050 commitment
    • Our Green Financing Framework, launched in 2022, supports the transition to a low carbon economy. The Green Financing Framework has secured a C$600M green bond, the proceeds of which will fund the financing and/or refinancing green projects on our assets

    We believe in making communities better than we found them and our sustainability efforts will always reflect what matters most to us, our local partners and customers.
