“ESG” - Environmental, Social and Governance - has been a hot topic in the business world as a popular framework for managing impact. Across the board, landlords, tenants and investors alike are asking what this means for commercial property. This week, Tessa and David chat to Sameer Chopra, Head of Research, Pacific and ESG Asia Pacific at CBRE. Sameer walks them through how the ESG framework allows people to look for opportunities to make a positive contribution, and how these can be leveraged for a better investment. Sameer highlights the knock on positive impacts of energy efficiency to profit margins, price realisation and occupancy rates, how this can help future-proof assets for future regulatory change and how this differs across various asset classes.
