ULI Austin: Environmental, Social and Governance Strategies in Real Estate

Webinar Summary: A new report from the ULI Greenprint Center for Building Performance highlights the commercial real estate industry’s increasing focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies in 2021. The ULI Sustainability Outlook 2021 report is the Institute’s first look ahead on issues that are specific to ESG-related concerns in the real estate industry. Real estate organizations recognize the strong business case for incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into their normal business operations with the increasing public focus on climate change and its impacts, new policies affecting building energy performance, and pressure from private and institutional investors.
