Summary

Boston Properties discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company discloses its goals for building certifications, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and water consumption along with progress on these targets over the past three years. Additionally, it offers commuter benefits to employees to promote the use of public and alternative transportation.

In addition to these efforts, Boston Properties should establish regular reporting on the affordability of its properties to enhance transparency and meet stakeholder expectations. Furthermore, it should outline a clear process for identifying human rights risks and impacts at specific locations or in activities carried out through its business relationships.

While the company requires service providers and contractors to comply with laws on non-discrimination, it should commit to ending all forms of discrimination against users of its products and services. Additionally, it should enhance its whistleblowing system by clearly outlining its corrective action process for addressing non-compliance with its discrimination policy. All of these steps will enable the company to strengthen its commitment to equality and accountability.
