Video Summary: The last few years have seen significant shifts in what investors are requiring from asset owners about their sustainability performance.  Their interest in the data that underpins certification and in expanding beyond what has traditionally been "green buildings" has been driven by big trends in how our societies live, work and play - all of which has been significantly shaped by the pandemic and the growing financial risks related to climate change.  This session will highlight these larger trends, what it means to go beyond  "green" to a more holistic sustainability approach and what a building certification process needs to include to deliver assurance.
