At CapitaLand Investment’s (#CLI) Sustainability Non-deal Roadshow 2023, Vinamra Srivastava, CLI’s Chief Sustainability Officer and Paul Tham, CLI’s Group Chief Financial Officer engaged investors and shared more about the company’s sustainability strategy, progress, and its focus on execution. Vinamra shared that with strategic portfolio management and allocation of limited resources, a balance can be achieved between profitability and meeting sustainability goals. Green returns can be gained through: ✅Operating expenditure savings by investing in technologies to enhance #energy efficiency, and procuring #renewable power among others ✅Higher revenue and asset valuations through green premiums or brown discounts as investors and customers increasingly prioritise green buildings ✅Green financing such as sustainability linked-loans, and better ESG credit rating which may expand the pool of investors Vinamra also led a panel discussion with David Fogarty, Head of ESG Consulting at CBRE Singapore and Dr Graeme Riddell, Climate & Sustainability Consulting Leader, Marsh Asia. They covered topics on stakeholders’ interest in green certification, managing physical and transitional climate risks, and more. For more info: https://lnkd.in/gqiQdHV9
