We believe that innovation is the key to reducing all-over carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Since 2018, we’ve been investing in cutting-edge hydrogen plants, with the objective of powering industries across the globe.

Our investments in new hydrogen plants in the United States are at the forefront of this effort. Creating sustainable technologies that have the power to shape the destiny of industries and, most importantly, preserve the health of our planet for generations to come.

Our principles

A societal approach

At Berkley, we have the commitment to create a positive impact on society and the environment. Our investments are motivated by the objective of creating a cleaner, more sustainable future, and that's something that our legacy speaks for: hundreds of new jobs created, reduction on greenhouse gas emissions, hospitals and student housing are just a few examples of our impact on and for society.

Because we believe that by aligning our investments with our values, we could create a brighter future. So we stand for it.

Cultivating sustainable communities, one investment at a time. ESG isn't just a strategy; it's our commitment to a brighter, greener future through real estate. Our dedication to sustainable development, social responsibility, and ethical governance ensures that every property we create not only adds value to our investors but also contributes positively to the world we share.
