Sustainability and community have always been part of CTP’s core values and company culture. We have a long history of making positive impacts on our community, developing sustainable buildings, and conducting our business in an ethical and accountable manner. As CTP grows as a company, we continue to deepen our ESG goals and increase disclosure—which is why I am excited to present CTP’s inaugural ESG Report.

ESG comes naturally to CTP, as we have always been committed to long-term, sustainable development. CTP was the first developer in CEE to receive a BREEAM Outstanding building certification, and we have long been recognised in our markets as leaders in the development of energy efficient property solutions. At CTP, we do not view ESG as something that hinders business, but rather as an integral part of our overall strategy to grow long-term shareholder value over time while benefitting all other stakeholders.

As the long-term owner-operator of our portfolio of business parks, we have also, from the beginning, made significant investments to im-prove the quality of life and infrastructure of the communities where we operate, as we strive to be good neighbours and good corporate citizens in our markets. This has always been part of CTP’s business strategy and is now codified and amplified in our ESG strategy going forward.

CTP has grown consistently over the course of its 25-year history. Today we employ nearly 700 property professionals in the ten countries where we operate—with approximately a 50:50 male/female ratio be-low the Board level, which we have maintained for many years. During 2022 we continued to increase the number of women in leadership posi-tions, with the goal to have 30% representation in senior management.
