WASHINGTON D.C. (July 28, 2021) – The Urban Land Institute (ULI) Greenprint Center for Building Performance, a worldwide alliance of leading real estate owners, investors, and financial institutions committed to reducing carbon emissions across the global property industry, has announced CP Group, formerly Crocker Partners, as a new member.
CP Group is one of the country’s premier owner-operators and developers of commercial real estate. Today, the organization employs nearly 200 employees and has a portfolio spanning more than 14 million square feet.
CP Group hired Elena Villarreal Daniel as the organization’s first director of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) earlier this year on the heels of the success of CP Group’s Environmental Health & Wellness program, which launched last year at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the feedback from tenants, employees, and partners, the company expanded the focus of the initiative to include social and governance issues.
“CP Group is thrilled to be a part of the ULI Greenprint Center, a global alliance of leading companies. We are passionate about reducing waste, energy use, and our overall carbon footprint, and look forward to learning new sustainability initiatives from this impressive group,” said Elena V. Daniel, director of ESG at CP Group. “This induction will allow us to be a true change agent for our investors, strategic partners, and tenants alike and help build a healthier, more productive future across our portfolio.”
The cumulative holdings of Greenprint members total nearly 11,000 properties in 32 countries, with a value of more than $1.3 trillion. Greenprint members are at the forefront of efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and increase asset values by incorporating sustainability into all aspects of development and building operations.
