For the second year in a row, Hudson Pacific Properties has been named a U.S. office leader in sustainability by GRESB. The company earned the “Green Star” designation and the highest five-star rating for exceptional environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.

“We are proud to receive this recognition from GRESB for the second straight year,” said Natalie Teear, VP of Sustainability and Social Impact. “With the launch of Hudson Pacific’s Better Blueprint ESG platform earlier this year, we reaffirmed our commitment to leadership in sustainability, most recently by achieving carbon neutrality across all of our operations. We look forward to sharing even more progress as we work to reduce our embodied carbon and achieve net-zero waste.”
