Company establishes first greenhouse gas emissions reduction target: 25% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity by 2033

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- American Healthcare REIT, Inc. (NYSE: AHR) ("AHR" or the "Company") today published its 2025 Corporate Responsibility Report, the Company’s second annual report and the first to include a measurable, time-bound emissions reduction target. AHR has committed to reduce its combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions intensity 25% by 2033 from a 2024 base year. The report is available here.

"Setting an emissions reduction target gives us something concrete to manage against," said Jeff Hanson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "It also reflects how we intend to operate more broadly: applying the resources of an institutional owner to the operating realities our partners manage every day, in ways that benefit our residents, our operators, and our investors."

Report Highlights

• Environmental Responsibility: Establishment of the Company’s first GHG emissions reduction target, supported by a second consecutive year of Scope 1 and Scope 2 inventory prepared in alignment with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and reported energy and emissions intensity for comparable periods. The Company also expanded efficiency initiatives across the portfolio. A water management program implemented with Liquified Solutions now spans 27 assets and is expected to generate approximately $800,000 in annual water and sewer savings, lowering both water consumption and operating costs across those properties. AHR also completed a rooftop solar installation at an outpatient medical building in Indianapolis.
• Corporate Governance: Introduction of a Vendor Code of Conduct and a Human Rights Policy; continued oversight of the corporate responsibility program by the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a cross-functional Corporate Responsibility Committee; and annual assessment of the Company’s cybersecurity program against the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework.
• Social Responsibility: Great Place To Work Certified™ for the first time, a 97% employee retention rate, and continued partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association as Presenting Sponsor of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Irvine, where AHR is headquartered.

Looking Ahead

AHR intends to build on the 2025 report by:

• Embedding the GHG emissions reduction target into capital planning and asset management decisions;
• Expanding the emissions inventory to include value chain emissions; and
• Enhancing the scope and quality of the environmental data used to track progress against the target and inform decision-making.

Key Terms

scope 1 technical

Scope 1 are the greenhouse gas emissions a company produces directly from sources it owns or controls, like fuel burned in company vehicles, boilers, or on-site factories. Think of it as the smoke coming out of a business’s own chimney versus electricity it buys from the grid. Investors watch Scope 1 because these direct emissions can create regulatory costs, operational changes, and reputational risks that affect profitability and long-term value.

scope 2 technical

Scope 2 covers the greenhouse gas emissions produced indirectly when a business uses energy it buys from others—most commonly electricity, but also steam, heating or cooling. Think of it like the pollution linked to your household’s electricity bill: you didn’t burn the fuel yourself, but your consumption still causes emissions. Investors watch Scope 2 because it affects a company’s climate footprint, energy costs, regulatory exposure and reputation, all of which can influence long‑term financial performance.

ghg emissions intensity technical

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity measures the amount of GHGs a company or activity produces relative to a unit of output, such as per dollar of revenue, per unit sold, per megawatt-hour of energy, or per employee. It shows how carbon‑efficient an operation is—like measuring fuel used per mile—so investors can compare companies of different sizes and assess exposure to carbon-related costs, regulations, and transition risks.

greenhouse gas protocol technical

An internationally used framework for counting and reporting a company’s greenhouse gas emissions, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol sets consistent rules for measuring direct pollution from owned operations and indirect emissions from electricity use and supply chains. Like a standardized financial ledger for carbon, it helps investors compare companies, track progress toward climate goals, assess regulatory or supply-chain risks, and evaluate how emissions may affect future costs or reputation.

cybersecurity framework technical

A cybersecurity framework is a structured set of practices, policies and technologies an organization uses to prevent, spot and respond to digital attacks—think of it as a building’s blueprint plus alarm system for protecting data and systems. Investors care because a robust framework lowers the risk of costly breaches, regulatory penalties and business interruptions, and it signals disciplined management that helps protect revenue, reputation and long‑term value.
