Ethical Property Company : The Company Now

Financial Performance of the company Nature of our tenants What our tenants say about us Environmental Performance of our buildings Disability Access Tackling social exclusion		Ethical property investment offers the investor a financial, social and environmental return. So in addition to our financial audit, we monitor a wide range of social and environmental indicators and publish the results each year in our Annual Report. 'Measuring social and environmental returns is still a very inexact science. We measure our performance on each of our indicators against national standards, wherever they exist and publish them as social accounts. We also set targets for improvement on our own results year on year. We are now looking to devise our own targets that are the most appropriate to our properties and in some cases reduce them year on year in line with carbon and other reduction targets. We are heading towards external verification by 2007-2008. Currently we classify our social and environmental returns under four broad headings: 1. The nature of our tenants. We let our properties only to organisations with a strong social purpose. 2. The landlord-tenant relationship. We aim to manage our properties according to strong social and environmental principles as detailed in our Code of Practice 3. The ecological impact of our buildings. We monitor energy and water use, travel to work, disability access and recycling. 4. Tackling Social Exclusion. We aim to purchase properties in areas in need of regeneration, and help to tackle social exclusion by supporting local community groups. We also aim to be open and transparent with all our stakeholders. "As a social justice organisation, African Initiatives is committed to making sure our suppliers, wherever possible, share our principles. The Ethical Property Company do this. They show that it is possible to provide functional, well serviced office accomodation while maintaining social and enviromental considerations. And most importantly, they can do it at a good rent." Mike Samson, African Initiatives
