A very useful article here from my colleagues Karen Scanna, Emilio Gómez Delgado, Sabine Reimann, Maria Deledda and Giorgio Perretti, looking at the varying approaches taken to improving the energy performance of buildings in Spain, Germany, Italy, the US and the UK. It is really interesting to see how different jurisdictions try to achieve the ambitious and crucial goal of improving energy efficiency and achieving net zero. Will sanctions, or incentives and subsidies, prove to be the more effective? #esg #sustainability #energyperformance #crossborder

I recently had the pleasure of attending the "Transitioning to Net Zero: Legal Risks and Opportunities for Corporates" panel hosted by Dentons, where we dove deep into the ways different regulatory environments are striving to create more sustainable commercial frameworks. It was such a discerning experience to hear from Dentons partners from all over the globe and learn from their unique insights. David McGimpsey highlighted how U.S. clean energy efforts continue despite political shifts, while Hazel Saffery discussed Canada’s focus on Indigenous ownership and federal carbon offset programs. Christian Schnell, PhD shared insights on the EU’s Green Deal and strategies for energy security amid supply chain challenges. From the UK, Claudia Thomas spoke on market reforms and investment in low-carbon infrastructure, and Niamh O'Connor noted that staying current with evolving regulations is a major challenge for corporates. Attending this event was both insightful and inspiring. I came away with a much deeper understanding of how interconnected global sustainability efforts are, and I also learned from the diverse viewpoints shared by experts from various markets. Interpersonally, it was energizing to connect with leaders across regions who are actively shaping the future of sustainable business. This experience broadened my perspective on how companies can navigate the complexities of compliance and innovation. Key Solutions Discussed: 🌟 Adaptable Energy Models: Pursue diverse energy procurement options, such as virtual and physical power purchase agreements (PPAs). 🌟 Leveraging Local Incentives: Utilize government grants and carbon offset programs, especially for sectors facing high capital costs. 🌟 Sustainable Infrastructure: Invest in emerging tech like heat pumps and biofuels, where feasible, to meet regulatory and energy demands. 🌟 Collaborative Community Engagement: Strengthen public support by emphasizing economic benefits and offering clear information on low-carbon initiatives. A special thanks to the panel for answering my question about fostering local support for sustainable infrastructure. Their guidance on emphasizing economic benefits and creating educational opportunities to engage communities was especially valuable. Making low-carbon initiatives financially and socially relevant to local areas is key to driving real change. Thank you to Vivek Bakshi for facilitating such a thoughtful discussion and to Dentons for hosting. I’m excited to apply these insights to support sustainable business practices. #NetZero #Sustainability #CorporateResponsibility #Dentons #EnergyTransition

In recent years, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria have become a crucial factor for investors, tenants, and regulators in the commercial property sector. Concurrently, the issue of dilapidations—referring to the condition of a property at the end of a lease—has gained prominence. Adding to this, the importance of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) has risen, acting as a critical metric for evaluating a property’s energy efficiency. Understanding the intersection of ESG considerations, EPC ratings, and dilapidations is essential for property owners, investors, and tenants aiming to navigate the evolving landscape of commercial real estate.
