    Sustainability is an increasingly important issue for many people, and companies, institutions and governments are responding. As employees and investors increasingly demand more sustainable Real Estate Assets, there is a clear drive for the industry to act for the benefit of the environment, the community, and our economy. This panel will examine how using a centralised approach, making goal – based decisions and tracking/reporting results are key to accelerating and excelling in the field of ESG.

    • Examining developments in renewable power agreements, integrated waste, and long-term environmental plans
