It is with great pleasure that I commend Boston Properties and the Embarcadero Center for their ambitious commitment to the “Greening of the Center”. Boston Properties strives to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility, not just in the world of real estate but in the world community.

The elements being put in place will go a long way in helping the City achieve its goal of 75 percent landfill diversion by 2010 and will serve as a model for others:

  • A comprehensive recycling program for all tenants.
  • Collection of food scraps from food retailers and plant trimmings from landscaping for composting.
  • A “green’ cleaning program that uses less toxic cleaners, high filtration vacuums, and recycled content paper products.
  • Work towards certification in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Existing Buildings program.

 

Boston Properties continuously strives to further educate itself in order to stay current with the latest developments in real estate. This is essential to keep a Class A building and complex operation, like Embarcadero Center, running at the highest level of efficiency and quality, without reducing tenant comfort and expectations. Boston Properties accomplishes this while always adhering to the strict guidelines set forth in their industry.

For this dedication to programs and initiatives that benefit our environment and future generations, I commend all the staff, the tenants and the managers at Embarcadero Center.

Embarcadero Center has implemented and enhanced mixed, cardboard, computer, and battery recycling services in 2008. We have also implemented a composting program. It is our goal to get every tenant participating in these programs this year. Please contact Preston Richards at (415) 772-0567 or via e-mail at prichards@bostonproperties.com for any additional information.
