ESG frameworks

UN Sustainable Development Goals

Vornado supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) as a global framework to achieve a more sustainable future for the planet, and improve quality of life for all. As a corporate citizen we uphold and contribute to each of the 17 goals through the environmentally and socially responsible manner in which we run our business and our properties. Below is a selection of metrics and programs where Vornado responds directly to targets identified through the UNSDG 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We will expand upon these disclosures when new metrics and programs develop within the recommended SDG framework.
