Sabra Health Care REIT Expands Data Collection

Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. announced the company expanded its utility data collection to 100% of its managed portfolio (Scopes 1 and 2), including year-over-year impacts from E-Initiative and GHG emissions verification.

The self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust announced its Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by 3.5% and 2.9% in 2023 since 2022. Scope 1 change was largely a function of fuel usage for onsite equipment, whereas Scope 2 change was due largely to the quantity of electricity purchased and the power mix on various regional utility grids.

As detailed in its fourth annual Sustainability Report, Sabra Health Care REIT also announced this was the second annual reporting of Scope 1 and 2 emissions, including a first-ever year-over-year update.

In January 2024, Sabra completed the move to its new headquarters in Tustin, California, which features LEED-certified standards and initiatives that improve energy efficiency, conserve water and reduce emissions and waste, including highly efficient variable frequency drive (VFD) HVAC management equipment to improve energy efficiency and electric vehicle charging stations.

“At Sabra, we’re committed to true alignment between our business strategy and our sustainability initiatives. These efforts matter to our stakeholders not only because they are the right thing to do but also because they’re an important part of how we create long-term value. The success we’ve achieved is a testament to our team’s shared sense of purpose and the strong relationships we’ve cultivated with tenants, operators, stockholders, community and industry,” said Rick Matros, Sabra’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chair of the Board, and Lynne Katzmann, Corporate Responsibility and Governance Committee Chair, in a statement.
