FIRESIDE CHAT: The elevation of ESG in Real Estate: Strategic adoption of ESG best practice to better position portfolios in uncertain times

Join these industry leaders for an intimate and in depth chat on:
- Leveraging impact strategies to maximise profit and mitigate greenwashing via transparency, accountability and action
- How do owners capture ESG principles when building portfolios?

Examining what sustainability means for digitalisation in Industrial real estate: providing solutions that are smart AND trustworthy
Digital technologies are providing opportunities for excellent environmental, social and governance (ESG) benefits in real estate. There are also multiple downside risks, which, if not well managed, can lose the confidence of our stakeholders, including tenants and investors. Sustainable digitalisation provides a pathway that helps navigate this dichotomy.
- Reviewing examples of the upside and downside possibility with digitalisation
- Considering what this might mean for social sustainability in real estate into the future
- Applying the Sustainable Digitalisation Principles to help enjoy upside social benefits and avoid harms

Sustainability Fireside Chat - Industrial Grade ESG - How design and technology are the keys to Industrial Real Estate sustainability
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?
