Sustainability in real estate: trends, opportunities and challenges

As the realities of climate change and inequality become clear, there is no question these are fundamental concerns for the real estate industry. With the political agenda driving zero carbon targets, regulations on the horizon providing preferential treatment for green economic activities and financial institutions growing increasingly concerned about climate risk, it is no surprise that developers, investors and occupiers of buildings are taking action.

With evidence clearly demonstrating how a real estate strategy incorporating sustainability not only improves property and asset value but also enhances the occupier experience, the sector is now on the cusp of a directional change.

We’ve brought together professionals from the ESG (environmental, social and governance), investor, consultancy and finance disciplines to discuss the current trends, opportunities and challenges facing the real estate landscape.

Our line-up of leading industry speakers includes:

• Josien Piek, Head of EMEA at GRESB
• Edward Dixon, Head of ESG at Aviva Investors Real Assets 
• Tim Clare, European Head of ESG at Anthesis

We hope you will be able to join us.
