Responsible investing is a core value at ASB. We take a holistic approach, seeking to consider how our investment decisions will generate strong investment performance and positively impact every stakeholder throughout a property’s lifecycle — from generating income growth through greater operational efficiencies, to the well-being of the construction workers, and the best interests of our tenants, their employees, and the broader community.
“We believe that implementing our core value of Responsible Investing can enhance investor returns, moderate risk, and have a positive impact on the communities in which we serve.”
Robert Bellinger, CFA*
President and Chief Executive Officer
We believe our approach can sometimes find ways to…
ENHANCE PERFORMANCE by maintaining efficient buildings with features that can reduce operating costs, as well as attract and retain tenants.
MODERATE RISK, including those associated with jurisdictional requirements, to make buildings more efficient and remain vigilant about exposures to markets experiencing greater property casualty insurance risk.
POSITIVELY IMPACT the communities in which we work and invest through our culture of volunteerism, charitable initiatives, and dedication to creating quality jobs and safe working conditions that contribute to local economic growth.
We maintain strict adherence to a responsible contractor policy that has been in place for more than 35 years. It prioritizes the use of highly trained construction workers with safe working conditions who are compensated fairly, including fringe benefits. It has been our experience that well built buildings have greater appeal to tenants and experience lower overall operating costs contributing to better long term economic performance.
