New York – November 17, 2021 – Link Logistics Real Estate (“Link” or “the company”), a Blackstone portfolio company and the largest logistics real estate company operating solely in the United States, today released its first Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. The report describes Link’s leading ESG program and its approach to redefining the role that logistics and real estate companies can take in creating a more sustainable future.

“We view ESG as foundational to who we are as a firm, how our teams work together and all that we are building,” said Luke Petherbridge, Link’s chief executive officer. “This past year, we endeavored to position ourselves as the long-term sustainable partner of choice for our customers, leveraging our scale to set ambitious goals that will move the needle on the most pressing environmental issues we face today. The challenges of the past year have made clearer the responsibility we have to our customers, partners and society, and the importance of creating spaces and environments where people want to work. During such a critical time for our industry, we believe that our ESG initiatives have a vital role to play in helping our customers maintain resilient and sustainable supply chains.”

Link made tremendous strides in the past year in furthering its commitment to the goals outlined in the report.
