Does Environmental & Social Governance (ESG) Help Real Estate Investors Decide?

Does Environmental & Social Governance (ESG) Help Real Estate Investors Decide? Are ESG Metrics Material to Real Estate Asset Manager Selection?

Date: Thursday, July 24, 2014

Time:
8:00 AM to 8:30 AM – Registration and Breakfast
8:30 AM to 10:00 AM – Program

Location:
Bloomberg LP 731 Lexington Avenue New York, NY, 10022

RFPs from institutional investors for real estate investment management services now contain sections on either environmental and social governance (ESG), responsible investment (RPI) or “sustainability.” While it is clear that investors in real estate increasingly accept that there is a link between strong ESG credentials and financial performance, the degree to which and the process by which investment managers are assessed on ESG as a determinant of capital allocation is still largely unknown. In this panel, experts among sources of real estate investment capital and asset advisors will discuss the state of real estate ESG metrics. Given that most metrics are relatively new, the panel will shed light on which metrics they use, how they use them, in what ways they should be improved, and how investment managers are successfully—or unsuccessfully— using them to win business.
