LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) today announced that it has earned top honors in the 2021 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB^®) Real Estate Assessment for its ESG accomplishments.

The company also received an “A” Public Disclosure score, ranking first among U.S. office companies.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized by GRESB as an ESG leader in our industry,” said Victor Coleman, Chairman and CEO of Hudson Pacific. “Through our Better Blueprint™ corporate responsibility platform, we are making swift progress toward meeting the bold goals we have set to help foster the growth of sustainable, healthy and equitable cities.
