My colleague Jose Vicente Soler Picó and I from Hollis Spain were thrilled to attend the ESG Summit Europe in Madrid last week. The ESG Summit underscored the critical importance of sustainability for businesses. 👏   🔑 Key takeaways included: 🌍 Climate Urgency: Climate change is not a threat…it is happening now! The World Economic Forum identifies extreme weather events as the top concern, with forecast of as much as 20% reductions on GDP. ✅ ESG Data Challenges: Many companies struggle to access and utilize high-quality ESG data. ✅ Regulatory Complexities: The proliferation of ESG regulations and standards and the lack of benchmarks can be overwhelming for businesses. 🌫Carbon Emissions: Companies often face difficulties in accurately disclosing their Scope 3 emissions and should get ready for Scope 4 emissions. ✅ CSRD Implementations: The upcoming implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in Spain (reportedly late 2024) presents challenges for businesses. 📢 Transparency and Communication: Increased public scrutiny demands greater transparency from companies in their ESG efforts. Greenwashing is a growing concern, and clear communication is crucial. ✅ Regulations and Standards: Harmonization of global ESG standards (EFRAG, ISO, IFRS) is critical. Regulatory frameworks like CSRD are driving change. 📱 Technology and Innovation: Leveraging technology (AI, platforms) is essential for tackling sustainability challenges across the value chain. ➡Long-Term Thinking: Integrating sustainability into core strategies is key for long-term success. 💲 Invest and Finance: Capital markets are demanding greater ESG focus from companies. 👩💼 Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) Role: The increasing demands of ESG legislation have raised questions about the sustainability of the CSO role. 👏 PV Market Opportunities: Potential changes of regulations about connection to the grid of new PV systems and energy export to the EU. New opportunities that it may provide for the Real estate industry.   If you want to know more about how we create and add value by helping our clients to achieve their ESG goals, click here: https://lnkd.in/dncM7xqk   #ESG #ClimateChange #Sustainability #CSRD #Data #Regulations #RealEstate #SolarEnergy

Missed our Hollis Insights Conference? Fear not, we've got you covered 😉    Check out the key takeaways from our leading experts:   ☀️Solar Energy: Transitioning to localised, solar-powered networks is crucial for the real estate sector. But quality control is key to preventing risks   🌍Decarbonisation: There's a focus on designing for energy performance, not just compliance. The UK’s Net Zero Carbon Building Standard aims to cut operational energy use, especially in existing buildings, making up 80% of the 2050 building stock.   🧯Building Safety and fire: The Building Safety Act brings stricter regulations, increasing liabilities for non-compliance. Early advice and careful planning are essential to meet the new standards.   🧱Repurposing vs. Rebuilding: Reusing buildings can significantly improve ESG credentials by retaining embodied carbon. Success hinges on thorough planning, early collaboration, and flexibility.   🔮Looking to the Future: The future of real estate is looking optimistic, with potential policy shifts, but challenges remain in planning, supply chains, and regional development.   But that's just the tip of the iceberg; find the full article here for all the insights! 👇 https://lnkd.in/e3Xfz_dC Dan Campbell David Pike Oliver Shah Stiff + Trevillion Architects Interpath Advisory   #RealEstate #Decarbonisation #SolarEnergy #BuildingSafety #Sustainability #Repurposing #MarketTrends #HollisInsights24
