CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

As part of our commitment to create value in a world that is constantly changing, we are determined to be a good corporate citizen in every corner of our community.  We hold ourselves accountable for the social, environmental and economic impact of our operations.  We design our policies and business practices to reflect the highest standards of corporate governance, transparency and ethics. We support all aspects of the corporate social responsibility agenda, but one area is particularly relevant for us. We have the skills and opportunity to help minimize the significant impacts that real estate has on the environment. Our goal is to be the unquestioned leader in the real estate industry in environmental sustainability and energy management.

Ethics and Corporate Governance

We are proud of our national reputation for uncompromising integrity, ethical conduct and corporate governance. Our Code of Business Ethics and Vendor Code of Conduct are followed by our own employees and everyone who does business on behalf of our firm. We are also proud of the rigor and quality of the firm’s corporate governance and the benefits these policies produce for our stakeholders.

• Code of Business Ethics:

  Our Code of Business Ethics helps our people better understand the duties and responsibilities associated with conducting business on behalf of Blackstone Management. The Code contains sections that address our responsibilities to clients, business partners, shareholders, and the communities and governments in the countries in which we do business. Members of our Board of Directors fully support and mandate our compliance with the Code. Reports of possible violations can be made to our Hotline (1-888-500-8585) 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

• Vendor Code of Conduct:

  We trust that our vendors, including firms and individuals who provide direct service to or directly to our clients, will honor our commitment to integrity.  While vendors are viewed as independent entities, their business practices can reflect upon our brand and reputation. We expect all vendors to embrace and adhere to our Vendor Code of Conduct.
