"Maintaining a sustainable approach to development is at the heart of what we do—it is our commitment to our stakeholders, to our communities, and to the world in which we live," said David R. O'Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of The Howard Hughes Corporation. "This sense of responsibility has guided the growth of our master planned communities for many decades—long before the principles of environmental, social, and corporate governance fostered the global movement known as ESG. Our master planned communities were founded on the large-scale exploration of many of the smart growth principles that are promoted today and impact the quality of life in our communities." 

The report reflects The Howard Hughes Corporation's integration across its portfolio of the principles of ESG and is designed to provide stakeholders with a deeper understanding of the company's dedication to the ideals first expressed by James Rouse over 50 years ago. In founding the MPC of Columbia, Maryland—one of the country's first master planned communities—Rouse imagined a beautiful, self-sustaining "new American City" that fosters economic, racial, and cultural harmony, believing that people are at their best in communities where there is a sense of responsibility to one's city and to one's neighbor.

"We will continue to embrace the forward-thinking placemaking of James Rouse, George Mitchell and Victoria Ward, who were at the forefront of creating self-sustaining cities," said Jay Cross, President of The Howard Hughes Corporation. "Their legacies inspire us to lead with innovation and technology and to deliver sustainable communities and implement ongoing ESG initiatives to strengthen our proven track record of long-term development and profound respect for conservation and inclusive communities."
