SUSTAINABILITY

Green From the Beginning

Hines was founded on the principle that real estate creates a lasting legacy, and that it is our responsibility to design, build and operate our buildings with the highest standards.

Hines is committed to integrating the best sustainability ideas from all regions of the world. We know that conventional materials, energy and water are not unlimited, and our collective practices have an enormous impact on the environments in which we operate.

We have made tremendous advancements in putting new building and operating strategies into practice using our experience to raise standards across the industry. We believe that these methods allow us to use fewer resources and produce less waste while enhancing property values and improving the quality of the built environment.

We invite you to view our 2011 Sustainability Report which describes sustainability at Hines.
