Ventas

Ventas, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Chicago, United States, is a leading S&P 500 real estate investment trust (REIT) specialising in the ownership and management of research, medicine and healthcare facilities. As of 2023, the company operates 1,368 properties across Canada, the UK and the US.

Summary

Ventas reports transparently on numerous sustainability topics. The company has a publicly available policy outlining its approach to lobbying and political engagement, and it requires third-party lobbyists to comply with this policy. It also reports consecutive decreases in its scope 3 emissions, showing progress in reducing its environmental impact.

However, there is clear potential for the company to strengthen its performance in many areas. Ventas should report regularly on the affordability of its properties. Further, while it sets targets for delivering high-quality developments, these targets should be time-bound to drive accountability. Although the company conducts a materiality assessment and identifies human rights as a material risk, it needs to go beyond this and implement a dedicated human rights risk assessment process. This should include identifying human rights risks and impacts in specific locations or activities, both within its own operations and through relevant business relationships.
