Decarbonising our real estate portfolios
Carbon emissions are one of the biggest investment challenges of this century. As a leader in the real estate industry, we also need to be a leader in low-carbon real estate. To meet this challenge, we initiated our decarbonization project over two years ago :
- Covering our entire real estate portfolio of over 2,500 buildings.
- Prioritizing which buildings are likely to provide the best return.
- Deciding whether refurbishment or optimization is the best option.
Disciplined capex
We start by focusing on the most cost-effective measures, with an ongoing emphasis on activities that will improve energy efficiency. Many buildings will require a cost-benefit analysis to decide whether and to what extent capex should be deployed. This capex can vary widely. There may be changes to facades, windows and insulation that significantly lower emissions. It could be that there’s a way to efficiently change the main energy source or even install, for example, solar panels.
Dedicated resources
Our approach integrates decarbonisation into all our real estate activities. This project requires a significant team effort, training, data consolidation, and investment in tools. We have 18 ESG experts and over 180 asset managers globally working with tenants to make this long-term project a success and meet our fiduciary responsibility as a responsible investor.
