ULI APAC Sustainability Forum 2025: Stronger Together

Résumé du rapport : The 2025 ULI Asia Pacific Sustainability Forum brought together over 100 industry leaders to tackle a critical question: How do we build stronger business cases for sustainability to drive systemic change across Asia Pacific's built environment?

This report captures the frank conversations, collaborative insights, and practical solutions that emerged from provocative keynotes, cross-sector panels, and expert-hosted roundtables. Themed "We Are Stronger Together," the forum emphasized how owners, occupiers, and operators can break traditional silos to co-create climate-resilient spaces.

What made this forum unique: Beyond panel discussions, every attendee contributed to 14 Collaboration Canvases, mapping real-world challenges, emerging solutions, and breakthrough opportunities across the construction and real estate value chain. These insights were synthesized into actionable strategies where collective effort creates value that individual players cannot achieve alone.

Key insights revealed:

• Data fragmentation emerged as the top barrier, but shared carbon tracking tools are creating market pressure for standardized metrics
• Value chain partnerships between developers, contractors, and suppliers can transform how carbon gets embedded in buildings from the ground up
• Tenant-landlord alliances unlock operational efficiencies and retrofit investments through co-designed roadmaps and gamified engagement
• Trust and transparency come before technology in successful sustainability collaborations

The result is a collaboration toolkit backed by practitioner insights, featuring specific intervention points where stakeholders can align efforts to accelerate sustainability outcomes. From embedding carbon targets in procurement to co-designing retrofit strategies, this report translates industry ambition into coordinated action.
