Strategies & Tools for Achieving Decarbonization Goals
Watch the live webinar recording here.
There has been increasing pressure from investors, state and local regulations, and SEC’s climate change disclosure rules for companies to disclose and reduce GHG emissions and achieve decarbonization targets within the next few years. But what are realistic goals, and how do you achieve them when accounting for a portfolio of properties?
In this free webinar led by Partner Energy President Tony Liou, our panelists will provide insight into creating a decarbonization capital expenditure plan with the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) Pathway, dive into practical strategies for companies to not only plan for but achieve their emissions reduction targets, and give a demonstration of Partner’s decarbonization tool that is helping clients assess the progress on their properties. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A segment in the end.

About the ESG Webinar Series
An Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy is no longer just a nice-to-have but a necessity for the commercial real estate industry. However, there is still much uncertainty for businesses when it comes to establishing process, methodology, and fiscally responsible goals, especially around sustainability and resilience.
Bringing together the varied perspectives of engineering, sustainability, equity, institutional investor, and lender, this thought-leadership series will offer a 360° view of ESG and provide practical insights for CRE leaders to start making real progress toward their goals.
