Commitment to the community

Equistone Partners is committed to meeting local and global challenges through our business practices. We believe that social responsibility goes beyond providing ethical commercial real estate advisory services of the highest caliber.

Equistone is dedicated to improving the natural environment through several innovative programs.

Environmental Impact

www.carbonfund.org

Equistone Partners works with CarbonFund.org to assist in the fight against global climate change. We have taken great steps to reduce waste and increase efficiency in our own organization and now we’ve taken steps to offset what we can’t. CarbonFund.org assists companies in minimizing the “carbon footprint” of business activities, and provides a means through which Equistone can contribute to projects that off-set unavoidable carbon emissions. Equistone Partners is proud to be Northern California’s first Carbon Free real estate brokerage. We have calculated our carbon footprint and have purchased 3x our emissions with offsets from Carbonfund.org. We support carbon-reducing projects including renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.

Equistone Partners is proud to operate as a ZeroCarbon™ business.
