Jo Jolly & Donnie Mac Nicol: The Race to Net Zero - are you on track with you...PMIUKChapter
“It’s not as bad as you think – it’s worse.” Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive, Environment Agency
The Project Data Analytics Task Force recently launched an initiative to prompt and inform project and data professionals on the actions they can take in relation to climate change, and how they can leverage their influence.
On the basis that you cannot control what you cannot measure, the Task Force has developed a Carbon Self-Evaluation tool. This allows benchmarking in and across sectors. The tool encourages bottom-up action while providing data that will challenge the effectiveness of top-down strategies and policies.
A key point is that the biggest untapped potential to contribute is through using data analytics to drive out waste in every aspect of project delivery. The objective is an environment in which ‘climate’ is inherent in every decision we make – to maximise the benefit for the environment and people, and to minimise detrimental impact. The challenge however is to overcome human and commercial barriers to this.
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) TCFD proposed that scenario analysis should become a section of organization’s strategic plans or risk management processes.

Martin Paver: How data trusts will unlock Net Zero goalsPMIUKChapter
Delivering net zero is much more than decarbonising projects. Project professionals have a key role to play in driving up delivery productivity, avoiding waste and delay. We can accelerate the energy transition. By improving project certainty we make projects more investable, which attracts funding for net zero initiatives. By pooling our hard won experience within a data trust we fundamentally change the game.
Presentation focusing on assisting corporate social investment practitioners on publishing information on community investment and development in sustainability reports.
Ashwini Bakshi: Powering the Project Economy - and Building a Net Zero WorldPMIUKChapter
The United Nations recently released a report warning of catastrophe if the world doesn’t soon reverse course on carbon emissions, calling this moment a “Code Red for Humanity.” But it’s no small task to re-imagine how every facet of our society is powered – and it will take project managers and change makers to lead the transformation that our world urgently needs.
We will welcome Ashwini Bakshi, Regional Managing Director at PMI. Ashwini will share his unique insights on the world's increasingly disruptive shift toward projectization and new ways of working across all sectors and geographic regions. Ashwini will highlight the long-term global climate trends profoundly transforming the future of work itself.
These paradigm shifts are placing marked pressure on organizations and governments to ensure their relevance and operate with dramatically hyper-agile approaches. As a result, professionals around the world also need to upgrade their own capabilities and develop the right mix of technical and “power skills” to effectively lead teams and turn ideas into reality.
Join us as Ashwini shares engaging stories and actionable lessons on how organizations and individuals alike can prepare to take on the globe’s most urgent challenge.
This document discusses the need for standardization in the energy efficiency sector to increase investment. It outlines that a lack of standardization currently results in greater performance risk, uncertainty, higher transaction costs, and difficulties building capacity and aggregating projects. The document proposes an international framework called the International Credentialed Protocol (ICP) that would establish best practices, independent verification, and transparency to reduce owner and investor risk and costs. Projects that follow ICP standards would be considered "Investor Ready Energy Efficiency" and could access an investor network with over €4 billion for funding such qualified projects.

2020 was a disruptive year. Covid hit and impacted our society and economy hard. GRESB went through
an arduous management buy out process completed in November. And from an ESG perspective, the
focus on ESG intensified and the transformation of our economy accelerated. The 2020 restructuring of the
Assessments into distinct components was successfully completed enabling an increased focus on
performance in the future. It is timely for us now to critically review the way that GRESB serves the needs
of the investor community.
To this end, GRESB is working on our strategy for the coming years. There are several components to this
strategy including:
Real Estate Assessments Roadmap
Infrastructure Assessments Roadmap
GRESB output development Roadmap (i.e. rating, peer groups, rankings, etc)
GRESB core competencies strategic development (data reporting, scoring, validation, benchmarking)

The scoring methodology for Data Coverage and Like-for-Like also remains unchanged.

More of our investors are submitting their own GRESB assessments - meaning we are
responding to data requests from them with advanced deadlines as well as preparing and
submitting our GRESB assessments. To help us in our discussions with our investors as
the number of investor-specific requests continues to increase, can you give us an
overview of what information is available to GRESB investor members? Can they select
multiple entities through the portal and receive a combined report on their investments
rather than submitting their own GRESB assessment?

Q & A S e s s i o n
How many organizations are undertaking ESG without an external ESG-specific advisor
GRESB is working with the Interim Foundation Council (the name for the initial Foundation Board prior to the Board being officially constituted) to finalize the documents to formally establish the GRESB Foundation. We have been meeting regularly to review the documents and expect that these can be finalised in the next few weeks.
Due to the delay regarding the establishment of the Foundation, we are utilizing a modified approach to governance for 2021 utilizing a longer transition period to the Foundation. The existing governance groups (Real Estate and Infrastructure Advisory Boards and Benchmark Committees) will continue to meet as per usual until the Foundation is fully established. They will review the GRESB strategy and work on the 2022 Assessments.
Once the Foundation is fully established and all Foundation Committees are in place, the existing governance groups will cease, and all work will transfer to the Foundation (including its Board and Committees). The process to establish the Foundation Committees needs to be designed by the Foundation Board. There may be differences compared to the existing governance groups in terms of structure, role and composition. The process for establishing these committees should be fair and transparent. We will advise all GRESB members once more information is available.

Re-explain the governance group engagement process (4 regional BCs, 1 global AB). The most discussed topic was Covid-19
Effect widely differs depending on property types, countries. Giving examples:
Office expects to plunge
Retail too but very much depends on countries’ regulation
Residential to increase since people more at home
Industrial stable
In addition, 2020 Assessment was subject to major changes both in terms of structure and content
Conclusion that while we expect the performance results to be impacted differently, the consensus is to keep the assessment framework unchanged.
Implications:
Dynamic scoring for DC and LFL Change, per type of control.
Soft outlier thresholds remain unchanged (LFL ranging 20-30). Participants still have the possibility to provide rational for outliers.
Those will not impact their submissions since soft outliers are included in participants assessment.
However, GRESB intends to review the impact per region and property type post submission and loosen the soft outlier threshold where necessary.
This will have no other consequence than triggering less outliers than initially, hence no direct impact on scoring.
As a reminder, the GRESB Infrastructure Assessment has 2 components: Management and Performance
The following indicators have been amended or are new in the Asset Assessment. The amended indicators will still be scored, the new indictors will not be scored in 2021.
1200 accounts have been registered
81% of all RE entities has an external consultant/manager with ESG objectives, this is 77% in Americas.
