GID Industrial Value Fund earns Sustainable Fund Award from HOOPP's LEAP Program

DALLAS, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GID Industrial is excited to announce that our Industrial Value Fund has earned the Sustainable Fund Award from one of its investment partners, Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan ("HOOPP"), for its sustainable leasing initiatives. GID Industrial has distinguished itself by integrating green clauses that require energy efficiency, sustainable tenant fit-out design criteria, cost recovery for capital improvements, and utility data sharing across its properties.

"This award highlights GID's commitment to implementing green leasing practices through coordination with our tenants," said John Hopkins, Director of Portfolio Management at GID Industrial. "In addition to benefiting the local environments in which GID operates, GID's leasing practices create more sustainable and productive spaces for our tenants."

HOOPP is dedicated to sustainable investing and to ensuring that environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") factors are fully integrated into its analysis, strategy, and asset management practices. HOOPP's recognition of GID Industrial's sustainable leasing practices is consistent with the pension plan's commitment that its investments are reflective of its sustainable investing beliefs.

GID Industrial remains committed to implementing sustainability initiatives across its portfolio and looks forward to demonstrating sustainability leadership through our green leasing practices. This award serves as an inspiration for the company to further its efforts in creating a more sustainable future.
