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.
