Sustainable development important for 93% of European investors
Investors in the real estate market will begin to implement strategies that minimize the negative impact of the industry on the environment faster than expected, the CBRE report. As indicated by CBRE experts, as many as 93% of investors in Europe declare to include sustainable development issues – environmental, social and management-related (ESG) in their decisions. Tenants also contribute to the growing sense of responsibility in the industry. As many as 72% of them prefer WELL-certified buildings, which certifies healthy and comfortable conditions for building users.
“Construction and operation of buildings cover as much as 39% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. This is a huge challenge for the industry, which will have to collide with this task faster,” Jonathan Steer, director of construction consulting in Central and Eastern Europe, CBRE, commented.
