Sustainable Real Estate

Introduction

This GLOMACS Sustainable Real Estate training course is designed to enable delegates to integrate the rising importance of ESG for real estate. This training course provides a route map for developers and investors to capitalise on recent trends in legislation, regulation, investor and lender appetite, measurement and reporting to maximise the value outcome from the investment in ESG practices that is now essential for highly rated and outperforming real estate organisations.

The delegates will study how ESG and sustainability have risen to their current importance, compare their role in other industries (the tenants of real estate) and examine such important current issues as the latest legislation worldwide. The delegates will learn how ESG and sustainability work in practice across a wide range of assets including offices, hotels, warehouses and business parks, factories, and residential complexes at real estate companies, both developers and investors.

Objectives

By attending this Sustainable Real Estate training course, participants will gain the following

• Deep knowledge of the current state of ESG policies and practices 
• Understanding of how to apply key market trends, reporting structures, performance indicators, and ESG reporting structures for real estate companies.
• Data and analysis of relevant ESG measurement, benchmarking and rating criteria and certification, how they differ and how they are applied in practice.
• Skills to identify and apply in their own organisations the ESG factors that are material to a range of commercial property types, including across the spectrum of investment strategies, from core to opportunistic and from development through physical investment to funds.
• The ability to identify and assess ESG related risks and opportunities to real estate investments in the short and longer-term, including the effect of reporting on transparency and the ultimate impact on profitability and shareholder value.

Training Methodology

This Sustainable Real Estate training course will be highly interactive using various case studies, practical real-world exercises and examples throughout. Delegates will perform calculations, analyse financial aspects of the case and draw conclusions, or make presentations to other groups regarding the case. The interactivity generated by the case study process, as well as by contributions by delegates within the training course generally will encourage questions and discussion throughout, which makes this training course worthwhile as a high-quality learning experience for delegates.
