ESG at W. P. Carey
We are committed to the two core principles that have guided us since our founding in 1973: Investing for the Long Run® and Doing Good While Doing Well®.
By its nature, our work promotes jobs and prosperity. Doing Good While Doing Well means that when we are financing properties for companies, we are also helping the communities those companies serve. It is important to always ask, ‘What is the impact of what we are doing?'
