We develop solutions in each of our business lines to foresee environmental changes and respond to evolving client needs, whether they are investors, businesses, or public institutions. We play a key role in urban development and place corporate social responsibility at the core of our business. Our goal is to meet the needs of our clients and partners by delivering innovative buildings and services that create shared value and contribute to a more sustainable, ecological, and collaborative society.

Our plan, Inspire Real Estate 2020, was developed in partnership with 200 stakeholders across the country including clients, suppliers and employees. This focuses on four responsibilities : fiscal, ecological, social and civic. These include topics such as circular economy, biodiversity and pollution, water and air quality issues, and finally, cooperation and economic initiatives. Climate change is an issue that ABC Real Estate takes into account in our operations. For example, we ensure that all our buildings in Sri Lanka have smart technology installed to help make better use of electricity, and all our environmental production is eco-certified. One area where we contribute to a more sustainable future is education for construction trades and careers, leading to generation growth that will create tomorrow's community.

Creating sustainable future business also means focusing on potential planning for our 05 years history. As property managers and asset managers, we need to be aware of demand shifts to meet today's and tomorrow's needs. All this is part of our duty to deliver creative and responsible products and services, reduce the environmental impact of our operations, and encourage employee growth.

Esprit Real Estate is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards. A holistic approach that directs our business powers our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plan. Through our policies and programmes, we pursue effective solutions that not only support us and our partners, but the entire community. Through a wide range of robust CSR programmes, we aim to contribute positively and sustainably to society. We believe this is best achieved by inspiring people with the best leadership resources we can provide.
