Sustainable banking throughout the chain: 2017 GRESB Debt Event GRESB
Event on Wednesday, 22 March hosted by ABN AMRO and with ING, DNB, Cromwell Property Group, Dynamis Taxatie Nederland
De Nederlandsche Bank vindt dat Nederland te weinig werk maakt van een overgang naar een klimaatneutrale economie. Een langetermijnvisie ontbreekt, en er moet snel een visie komen waarin de reductie van de CO2-uitstoot centraal staat. DNB vindt het Nederlandse Energieakkoord onvoldoende en "slechts een eerste stap in de richting van ingrijpender beleid."
Een verantwoord gebouwde omgeving is het vertrekpunt van een aantal Nederlandse banken waaronder ABN AMRO en ING. Vastgoed dat zijn waarde behoudt voor toekomstige generaties en de uitstoot van CO2 vermindert. Een aantal banken wil een belangrijke rol spelen in de verduurzaming van vastgoed in Nederland. Dit doen zij door bijvoorbeeld innovatieve projecten te ondersteunen, transformatie te stimuleren en te streven naar energie-efficiëntie in bestaande gebouwen. Samen met de sector en de keten willen ze deze ambitie vormgeven.
Het doel van het 2017 GRESB Debt Event is te laten zien wat de verschillende stakeholders binnen de keten ondernemen op het gebied van duurzaamheid bij de financiering van commercieel vastgoed.

Exclusive overview of 2013 UK Life Sciences Start-up Environment: The Fourth ...Christopher Watt
This document summarizes key points from Dr. Glenn Crocker's keynote address on the 2013 UK Life Sciences start-up environment. It notes that while start-up activity and investment in the UK have been declining in recent years, there are signs that large pharmaceutical companies are increasingly focusing on and funding early-stage startups. However, structural challenges around a shortage of experienced investors and difficulties companies face in execution still remain barriers to growth. The talk calls for longer-term, strategic funding from corporations, universities and philanthropic sources to help startups in their early stages and break the cycle of cautious investing.

Editor's Notes
7.3 billion people, of which most live in cities. This was only 14% a century ago.
Annual worldwide GDP output is massive: 73 trillion USD per year
This also translates to a considerable carbon footprint, of almost 10 Gigatonne of carbon per year – 400ppm
New global commitment to reduce emissions
First ever legally-binding climate agreement
The Paris Agreement on climate change provides a clear signal to investors that the transition to the low-carbon, clean energy economy is inevitable and already underway.
Governments have a responsibility to work with the private sector to ensure that this transition happens fast enough to catalyse the significant investment required to achieve the Paris Agreement’s goals including:
Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, and
Achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions (“a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of GHGs”) in the second half of the century."
More responsible investors (130 investors respresenting USD 13 trillion)

A joke here can be...”Yes this is innovation”
But how to differentiate between leading and lagging? GRESB provides unique insight for real estate, and real estate only
GRESB provides a global “yardstick”/business intelligence tool to define and recognize leadership
Assess
Score
Benchmark
Communicate
How can the real estate sector contribute to solving climate issues
Regulation provides minimum performance requirements
Leaders are in the right tail, however, the bulk is still in the “bell”
So, how to move the bell forward (= transformation to net-zero buildings that are safe, healthy, comfortable, connected, socially engaged etc.)
We’ve seen that the capital market provides a very effective top down push towards bottom up commitment
PRI currently meeting in Singapore – 1,500 asset owners
Transparency companies and funds vary significantly in their environmental, social, and governance performance
Opportunity leadership, quality, competitive advantage, resilience, superior returns, lower operating costs, mitigation of social and environmental impacts
Risk regulation, compliance, obsolesce, competitive disadvantage, physical damage, material impact, lower returns, higher operating costs, excessive social and environmental impacts
Almost 4x
The difference in overall GRESB score between the Top 10% and Bottom 10% entities in 2016
Message: there is a great differentiation amongst GRESB reporters. Our aim is to provide transparency to the bottom performers in terms of how the top performers are managing risks and utilizing opportunities, so they can close the gap.
Top 10% average score: 86.6
Bottom 10% average score: 21.9
What does current market transformation look like in terms of reducing the built environment’s footprint?
Less energy consumption
Less carbon emissions
Less water consumption…
…and less waste streams
Our process to connect industry stakeholders
Central in this process is data quality, both at the company/fund level and at the portfolio level
But increasingly, also at the asset level.
Our API and asset-level spreadsheet provided GRESB participants to report on building data for about 1/3 of all assets that are (indirectly) covered by the benchmark.
Something different: highlight GRESB leaders
This map shows the countries asset count based on asset level data
Listed: 201
Private: 558
No need to show these (already included in previous slides)
Transparency on ESG provides competitive differentiation & advantage.
The opposite is true for lack of transparency.
I thought there were 43 leaders?
Conclusion: transparency leads to improved performance/leadership
ESG policy includes carbon emissions
Carbon emissions target in place
Due diligence process includes carbon emissions
Risk assessments include carbon emissions
Data management system in place
Reporting carbon emissions data
Offsetting carbon emissions
Reporting carbon intensity data
External review of carbon emissions data
Drilling down deeper, companies and funds are also differentiated in terms of carbon output
Looking at intensities, this differentiation provides interesting insights into sector types and their impact
Looking at intensities per unit of invested capital, it becomes clear where the opportunities for improvement are, and how “green investments” might actually have the most positive impact

Add real numbers
There is an increasing amount of evidence that backs the correlation between financial performance and ESG performance.
Studies using GRESB data clearly show that market transformation also makes business sense.
