The global real estate sector is the largest contributor to the global climate crisis. In this session we examine why this culpability is driving big changes in how architects, builders, owners, operators and tenants are all working to tread more lightly on the earth and instil sustainable principles across the industrial landscape. In this session, we examine the technologies that are enabling the move towards sustainability and the ESG principles making it possible: 

• How is climate change impacting how we approach industrial portfolios? 
• Green & circular – using solar panels on the roofs of warehouses and other renewable energy sources to achieve carbon neutrality 
• What other design and technology methods can be used to reduce energy and water consumption and drive bottom-line impact 
• What role does procurement, social impact, diversity & inclusion play in industrial construction and maintenance? 

In this session, we hear from international leader in industrial real estate Will O’Donnell of Prologis Ventures. In this intimate Fireside Chat with FuturePlace CEO John Pozoglou, we look into the key trends Prologis are seeing across North America and Asia. How is the global landscape evolving due to the growth of eCommerce and how may these trends impact Australia? We look at innovation, sustainability and what Will sees in the Future of Industrial Real Estate.
