ROS ESG
Setting the
right standards
Our world today faces a number of global challenges: climate change, economic volatility, rising inequality... Investors, regulators as well as consumers and employees are now increasingly demanding that companies should not only be good stewards of assets, but also of natural and social capital and have the necessary governance framework in place to support this. The answer to this falls under a robust ESG policy, which is becoming increasingly important, also in retail real estate.
As one of Europe’s leading outlet operators in the placemaking industry, ROS is committed to a broad range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors that elevate the business, create value for our shareholders and investors, support our employees and customers, and show respect to the local communities in which we work.
We believe ESG is our corporate responsibility as business operators as well as an opportunity to promote good business ethics and focus on a more sustainable and resilient future.
