Social

We invest in our local communities by creating and supporting programs related to education and community development, all of which are supported by diversity and inclusion performance indicators, including those of vulnerable groups. Further, we deepen our impact through strategic partnerships, working with local NGOs, and related organizations as well as clients and suppliers to increase our initiatives’ social and economic impact.

      Education and Community Development

      Key components of Vesta’s social and environmental commitment include the respect human rights, labor standards, environmental stewardship, transparency, and the fight against corruption throughout our operations and in our relationships with stakeholders.

      o Vesta joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2011 and have aligned our initiatives with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since 2017.

      Vesta’s social and community development initiatives and use of cutting-edge technology directly address five of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), optimizing natural resource consumption while reducing our environmental footprint.                                                    


      Our direct impact objectives are:

      Most of Vesta’s developments include the use of solar panels and/or wastewater treatment plants to increase the efficient use of natural resources. We join our clients and value chain partners in strategic alliances for the same purpose. We also form strategic alliances with our clients and value chain partners                                                                      

      Our indirect impact objectives are:

      We engage with our stakeholders, acknowledging the diverse cultural, economic, and social contexts in which we operate.
      Since 2017, Vesta updates its Materiality Analysis every two years, the most recent update having been completed in 2022. This process identifies those high-impact issues most relevant to Vesta and our stakeholders. The resulting analysis then drives future initiatives and procedures, and guides our Company’s ESG focus and related budgets. Vesta's ESG Strategy is also aligned with our Level 3 business strategy and targets.

      We manage Vesta's properties comprehensively, in shared responsibility with our stakeholders, particularly our tenants and suppliers. Therefore, we have a commitment program that outlines how Vesta acts and engages with its audiences, the commitments to enhance the sustainable performance of our developments and activities.
