State of Green: ULI Greenprint Performance Report - Volume 16
A lot has changed in real estate sustainability in the past year. A new US administration turned away from climate action as state and local governments leaned in. Europe proposed delaying and scaling back regulations in its Omnibus proposal, while countries like Japan and Singapore introduced disclosure requirements in Asia-Pacific. Data center expansion, electrification, and aging infrastructure are affecting electricity rates while insurers are raising premiums and tightening underwriting standards in response to increasing physical climate risk.
In times of change, communities like ULI Greenprint come to the forefront to help real estate members navigate complexity together. Greenprint brings together sustainability practitioners from 130 real estate companies to"reduce carbon and build value," by sharing best practices, learning together, and building tools to decarbonize their portfolios. Greenprint members understand that decarbonization is not just good for the environment– it's good for business. In the past year alone, Greenprint members have:
- Stayed on top of the latest trends by joining more than 100 Greenprint members-only discussions and webinars on topics ranging from net zero building certifications to innovative social programs.
- Funded ULI research for the industry like the Developer’s Guide to Embodied Carbon, Myth-Busting Heat Pumps in Commercial Real Estate, and five primers on net zero tenant engagement.
- Partnered across the value chain on initiatives like ULI developer and utility convenings, the ECHO Project, and the low-carbon steel initiative in China.
The results? Over the past 15 years, Greenprint members have steadily reduced their collective emissions. This year, I am pleased to report that members have achieved a 6 percent reduction in like-for-like and year-over-year carbon emissions. Notably, European assets reported a 13 percent reduction in like-for-like and year-over-year carbon emissions.
In the year ahead, Greenprint will leverage the newly created ULI Impact Lab, which unites ULI's work across sustainability, housing, capital markets, and advisory services, to help members take strategic action on their decarbonization goals. ULI applauds its Greenprint members for continuing to lead the way on decarbonization, and we look forward to another successful year together.
