As a leading property services company, Broll Property Group recognises sustainability goes beyond energy efficiency and carbon reduction. One of the crucial pillars of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy is Responsible Supply Chain Management. While Net Zero initiatives often dominate the conversation around sustainability, focusing on ethical procurement practices is essential, ensuring that every part of our supply chain reflects our commitment to social responsibility, transparency, and environmental stewardship.
Why Responsible Supply Chain Management Matters
The Real Estate Industry relies on vast networks of suppliers and contractors, from construction materials and maintenance services to office supplies and technology. At Broll, we understand that every partnership we engage in has a ripple effect on the industry’s broader sustainability goals. By prioritising responsible sourcing, we enhance our operational integrity and set higher standards for the industries we work with.
Our approach ensures that our supply chain partners share our values of sustainability, human rights, and fair labour practices.
Ethical Sourcing means partnering with suppliers who adhere to fair labour standards and avoid exploitation.
Sustainable Materials means prioritising the use of eco-friendly and sustainable materials.
Local Procurement means supporting local economies by engaging with regional suppliers, which helps reduce our carbon footprint through minimised transportation and promotes community development.
Transparency and Accountability means ensuring all suppliers meet high environmental and social standards, with regular assessments and transparent reporting.
By embedding responsible supply chain management into our ESG strategy, we drive significant social impact. Our partnerships with local suppliers not only foster economic growth in communities but also ensure that we contribute positively to job creation and skill development. This holistic approach extends sustainability beyond environmental metrics, positioning Broll as a leader in ethical Real Estate Services.
Furthermore, ethical procurement strengthens our client relationships by providing them with the assurance that the spaces we manage are built, maintained, and operated with integrity and a commitment to broader social goals.
As we continue to expand our services, our commitment to responsible supply chain management remains a steadfast in our ESG strategy. It allows us to operate with transparency and accountability while driving positive social and environmental outcomes. At Broll, we believe that every decision we make – from the materials we choose and use to the suppliers we work with – shapes a more sustainable and ethical future for the real estate industry.
