“For Europe to meet its ambitious climate and social goals, major shifts are needed in the influential real estate sector. This includes reducing the climate footprint of buildings and their supply chains; deepening affordability and access to housing; generating opportunity and training for construction workers; and curbing corruption." Hear more from IHRB's Research Fellow Annabel Short who is speaking tomorrow at an online event (reposted below) organised by the Climate Positive Europe Alliance (CPEA) to launch a new report on #ESG in the EU real estate and construction industry. "CPEA’s report, developed through a collaborative process with industry leaders, provides a much-needed shared understanding of environmental, social and governance factors – and crucially, the connections between them – across the real estate finance and built environment industries. In so doing, it clarifies the path forward.” - Annabel Short, IHRB Research Fellow #RealEstate #Construction #WGBW
We are excited to announce that just in time for this year’s World Green Building Week on 📅 September 13th, 15:00 CEST we are going to present the new report by the CPEA ESG Working Group: ‘Market Insights: ESG adoption and implementation in EU construction and real estate’ Join us for the online launch! Participation is free of charge. Register here: https://lnkd.in/epWHEFrq As part of the event, our industry experts will discuss the regulatory and market-related ESG drivers and challenges, and how these can be addressed by policymakers and market participants. The report shows why it is crucial to take an integrated approach to ESG that goes beyond a one-dimensional focus on environmental issues. An interactive Q&A session gives you the opportunity to put your questions to our panel. You will also have the opportunity to find out where different European players in the construction and real estate industry currently stand in terms of ESG strategy development and implementation, disclosure and how the rise of social issues will change the ESG landscape. #CPEA #RealEstate #ESG #Construction #WGBW

Both ESG frameworks and green building practices contribute to long-term sustainable growth. Companies that integrate these principles often enjoy improved financial performance and resilience against market fluctuations. By addressing environmental and social risks proactively, businesses can mitigate potential threats and ensure more stable operations. Lets bridge the gap between ESG and Green Buildings Practices.

Thank you Kier Construction for a very enjoyable and insightful morning. Some key points for me were: 🔎 Clarity on LCA inclusions and assumptions are essential. Read more 👉 https://shorturl.at/eyAE7 🏗 Collaboration and the sharing of data around best practice is 🔑 https://lnkd.in/e9pbTM5A ⭕ Circular economy is a major factor to consider and we need to avoid Carbon Tunnel Vision
❓ How can we meet London’s development needs in a low-carbon way? This morning we led a round table debate with some of our clients and partners to explore this challenge. The group debated how we can establish a consensus on calculating embodied carbon, what role manufacturing can play, the value of cut and carve and deep retrofit models, what implications does materials recycling and re-use have for the way we design and build, and what role can construction play in minimising carbon over a building’s lifetime? We’d like to thank our guests for their contributions to what was an engaging and fascinating conversation: - Alan Bunting, head of development delivery, British Land - Ben Stroud, sustainability consultant, AECOM - Daniel Parle, development manager, The Crown Estate - Edward Sneddon, partner, Simten - Gareth Healy ChPP MAPM, project director, Stanhope PLC - Jonathan Walker, associate director, CO-RE London - Mark Tizzard, managing director, LBS Properties - Samantha Carlsson, senior sustainability manager, Derwent London - Sarah Halpin, sustainability director, Ramboll We’ll be keeping the conversation going by sharing our insights and takeaways from the session, so watch this space. 🙏 Thank you to Stephanie Byrne from Camargue for mediating.

Managing Principal | JACOBS | Business Consulting | Fortune 500 | AIA LEED AP | Americas Lead Net Zero + Nature Positive | BOS HOU NYC
🌍 This morning’s Bisnow Boston Sustainability Conference offered great insights into the urgent need for Building Decarbonization & Energy Reduction. Key takeaways include: 1. Boston’s Power Needs: The panelists delved into how Boston’s evolving power requirements are shaping short-term and long-term development strategies. A crucial discussion for anyone involved in the city’s infrastructure planning and development! 2. Profit from Sustainability: The conversation extended to how developers, builders, and investors can not only contribute to a sustainable future but also benefit financially from enhancements to the power grid. Your Jacobs team is a fan of how integrating sustainability into business strategies is a pathway to profitability and resilience in a rapidly changing world. #Sustainability #Decarbonization #BostonRealEstate #BisnowBoston

We all know that we need to decarbonise London's built environment but how on earth do we do it? Enjoyed chairing the discussion this morning hosted by Kier Construction. There'll be a fuller report to come but just some of the themes we touched on: Collaboration - yes it's a construction buzzword but we really do need to work together to identify the materials and techniques that will help us to lower embodied carbon and develop the more systematic design and building processes that will allow us to dismantle buildings and re-use parts of them at the end of their life. Education - we need consensus on what good looks like on carbon and the compromises and choices that have to be navigated along the way - from investors, clients and planners, to agents and tenants, supply chain and even insurers. Behaviour change - we should challenge our assumptions and pose different questions. Do we really need mechanical cooling or can we optimise passive design? Can we lease components so that buildings can be more easily adapted to changing market need? Thanks everyone for a fruitful debate.

Last week my Beca colleague, Richard Forbes and I, alongside LT McGuinness Ltd.'s Sustainability Manager Ben Cannon had the privilege of sharing our experience of designing and constructing low carbon buildings in Aotearoa. Big thanks to Priority One Western Bay of Plenty for hosting and sponsoring the event. There was plenty of questions which is always a good sign of interest in this important topic 🙂. Ben, Richard and I took the audience through: - Current government requirements around carbon and how to use the NZGBC Green Star rating tool - Simple, cost-effective low carbon solutions to adopt to and when to use them through the design stages - How to measure carbon reduction throughout the building's life cycle - How to implement carbon reduction solutions during construction and further reduce impacts through waste diversion and procurement pathways. As mentioned above the goal is to share knowledge so that everyone in the building industry can get on an even playing field, so keeping in that spirit I've attached my slides below. If you do have any questions please reach out to me or my colleague Phoebe Moses. #design and #construct for #low #carbon

Marx|Okubo is proud to be a sponsor of the upcoming 2nd Annual ESG and Decarbonizing Real Estate Forum (Winter). Located in Nashville, Tennessee, the forum will take place this week on February 8 - 9. As there is no longer a debate about whether ESG is a worthwhile investment and risk management principle, ESG has become embedded into policymaking and institutional investment agendas worldwide. Considering the continued impacts of climate change, increased public awareness around social factors, and companies of all sizes being held to higher governance standards, ESG has become a priority for the real estate market. Co-director of ESG at Marx|Okubo, Robert Phinney, will be on a panel entitled, "Building & Portfolio Green Certificate Options: Which Ones Increase ROI & Building Marketability." He and his fellow panelists will be will breaking down how to assess and generate value from green building certifications. Co-director of ESG at Marx|Okubo, Courtney Wladyka, AIA, NCARB, Fitwel Amb., as well as Senior Associate Daniel Retzner and Project Coordinator Abideena Dambo of Marx|Okubo will also be attending. We are looking forward to both the educational opportunities as well networking with peers and clients to delve further into this market. Please reach out or come see us if you will be at the event! #marxokubo #esg #greenbuildingcertification #realestate #construction #decarbonization #sustainability #resiliency
