Requirements
- Engage with the tenants to understand their custodial & waste goals, in specific topics listed, and how their goals may align with the building management’s custodial & waste goals
- Provide a sample of feedback or communication received from the tenants that demonstrate where alignment exists in specific topics covered in the Custodial & Waste Plan
In buildings where tenants manage the majority of custodial and waste services, the owner or landlord can engage with the tenant(s) to collaborate and share information and lessons learned to improve whole-building performance in these areas.
Documentation
- Narrative that describes where owner or landlord and tenant’s custodial & waste goals align
- Sample of relevant feedback or communication received from the tenants
Suggested Lead
In-house
Value
- As tenants are often responsible for maintaining custodial & waste practices in their spaces, they play a crucial role in improving custodial & waste management at a building
- Engage with tenants to discuss and align waste reduction goals, custodial & waste management practices, and identify opportunities for collaboration
Description
Passive engagement through communication is an important first step. Also, the ability to collect tenant utility data is becoming increasingly important as part of reporting and disclosure. Active engagement efforts include direct outreach activities, such as working with tenants to collect tenant-controlled utility data or requiring green leases for new tenants or renewals that address sustainability initiatives.
