This slidedeck contains an overview of the 2012 GRESB Report, and presentations on sustainability in commercial real estate, by Philips, ProLogis, CBRE Global Investors and Corio.
Presentation by the Institute for the Built Environment at Colorado State University.
GBCIs recently acquired Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark is industry-driven organization committed to assessing the sustainability performance of real estate portfolios around the globe. While LEED is the measure of an assets performance, GRESB is the measure of a real estate company/portfolios performance. GRESB is a response to large investors who continue to call for more robust sustainability analytics, a desire founded in research that continues to tie sustainability to higher returns and performance. Explore the aspects of GRESB reporting and the relevancy to those in property management, development, design, construction, and investment.
Sustainability in Real Estate Investments - CERES conference 2013, San Francisconilskok
At the recent annual conference of Ceres, a forum of investors to discuss environmental issues, I moderated a nice panel on how institutional investors (can) integrate sustainability into their real estate decisions. The line-up was pretty amazing, with Laurie Weir of CalPERS, Jennifer Young of the Townsend Group, Mike Ibarra of Landon Butler & Co (responsible for the MEPT fund), and Darryl Neate of Ofxord Properties (OMERS). Here's the full slide deck, very interesting to see the different views:
This report is the first result of a research program on existing incentives and conditions for the financing of sustainable real estate. This project is part of the program Energo Fiego, which has been initiated by the Market Financiers Group of the Dutch Green Building Council (DGBC) and is conducted in partnership with the Holland Financial Centre, Utrecht Sustainability Institute and GRESB. The Dutch Green Building Council (DGBC) acts as secretary of the Group.
The importance of sustainability in the built environment is increasing, and the main Dutch property financing firms recognize this importance. In 2011, the financiers expressed the intention to contribute to the road to a sustainable built environment through a covenant, and the financiers are now members of the Market Financiers Group of the DGBC.
Through this partnership, the financiers explore the opportunities for integration of sustainability requirements into financing of new developments, redevelopments, or refinancing of commercial real estate. Through rigorous research, the aim is to make sustainability an implied condition in financing new construction, redevelopment or refinance real estate.
The member of the Market Financiers Group are:
• ABN Amro Real Estate
• ING Real Estate Finance
• FGH Bank
• NIBC

The Performance of Pension Funds Investments in Real Estatenilskok
Real estate is the most significant alternative asset class for pension funds, representing more than five percent of total holdings, on average. This presentation employs a previously unexplored database to examine the investments of some 880 pension funds in direct real estate and real estate investment trusts (REITs) over the 1990-2009 period. Regarding allocation choice, we document that larger pension funds are more likely to invest in real estate internally, have lower costs, and higher net returns. Smaller funds are more likely to invest in direct real estate through external managers and fund-of-funds, but largely ignore REITs. The additional investment layers significantly increase their costs and disproportionally reduce returns. Moreover, U.S. pension funds’ investment costs are twice as high as those of their foreign peers, and both gross and net performance are lower. The underperformance of U.S. pension funds in real estate investments is most striking in the last two years of the sample period, which may be due to opportunistic investment behavior pre-crisis.
Verantwoord Beleggen Nederlandse Pensioenfondsen: 2017 Dutch GRESB EventGRESB
In de pensioensector wordt steeds meer aandacht gegeven aan het thema verantwoord beleggen en is zelfs onderdeel van de eigen Code Pensioenfondsen. Het aantal pensioenfondsen dat zich sterk maakt voor verantwoord beleggen, vanuit zowel een financieel als maatschappelijk oogpunt, neemt toe. Naast financiële kengetallen wordt gestuurd op zogenaamde ESG-indicatoren (Environmental, Social en Governance).
Universiteit Maastricht, GRESB en Finance Ideas hebben de handen ineengeslagen om de integratie van ESG in het beleggingsproces van pensioenfondsen te onderzoeken. De resultaten van het onderzoek worden tijdens het seminar kort uiteengezet en vormen de aftrap voor een actieve dialoog hoe ver integratie van ESG in vastgoedportefeuilles kan gaan.
Uit academisch onderzoek blijkt dat duurzaam vastgoed meer waard is in vergelijking met niet duurzaam vastgoed. Toch is het integreren van ESG-indicatoren in het vastgoed beleggingsproces nog geen gemeengoed binnen de Nederlandse pensioensector. Het doel van de paneldiscussie is om te laten zien hoe actieve samenwerking en kennisdeling kan leiden tot meer duurzame vastgoedbeleggingen.

Responsible investment & governance annual report_2010Nordea Bank
1) The document discusses Nordea's focus on responsible investment and governance. It emphasizes managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities.
2) Nordea has identified five major global megatrends that will shape business in the coming years: changing demographics, climate change, water scarcity, shortage of human capital, and increased focus on corporate governance.
3) Nordea engages with companies to improve their management of ESG issues and integrates ESG factors into the selection and monitoring of investment funds and managers.
A tour of the global ESG standards landscape, 100 days out from COP26, explaining how Inline XBRL, a building block approach to international standards consistency, and independent review of coming mandatory ESG disclosures will change reporting. Presented to the Taiwan Stock Exchange 21 July 2021.
This document provides a toolkit for fund managers on integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into their investment processes. It discusses the business case for ESG analysis, including growing stakeholder expectations, regulatory trends, consumer demand for sustainable products, and evidence that ESG programs can improve financial performance and shareholder value. The toolkit is intended to help fund managers implement the British development finance institution CDC's investment code on ESG matters. It provides guidance on international ESG standards and tools to assess and manage ESG risks and opportunities at various stages of the investment process.
UN SDG SDGs Sustainability Impacts KPIs are for the assessment of actual impacts on sustainable development through sustainability impact management and investment.
Example/Best practices of sustainability impact management and investment for each SDG ESG topics are illustrated.
This document summarizes a webinar on powering ESG ambitions through data. It discusses how ESG reporting is challenging due to different standards and data sources, but that a targeted data strategy can help. It recommends starting with cataloging ESG data, selecting key stakeholder dimensions, targeting a maturity level, building a data sandbox, and creating a community of practice to embark on an ESG journey through data. The webinar emphasizes that ESG is both urgent and important given regulatory demands, consumer expectations, and how financial markets are increasingly considering ESG metrics.
The document provides an overview of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting. It defines key ESG terms like sustainability and outlines the three pillars of ESG: environmental, social, and governance. The document discusses the business case for ESG reporting, including strategic benefits like improved brand reputation, financial benefits like lower cost of capital, and operational benefits like resource efficiency. It also examines the ESG ecosystem involving frameworks, standards, software providers, data providers, analysts and users. In a case study, it outlines steps FedEx took through its Fuel Sense program to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
The document provides guidance for companies listed on Nasdaq Nordic exchanges on reporting environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. It recommends a set of 11 ESG metrics that are most material for investors based on their prevalence in reporting frameworks, potential to impact company performance, and practicality for companies to report. The suggested metrics cover topics like greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water and waste management, diversity and pay equity, and business ethics. Companies are encouraged to publicly report on these metrics and engage with stakeholders to improve access to capital, profitability, risk management and reputation. Overall the guidance aims to help companies meet growing investor demand for ESG data and contribute to sustainable development.
Barclays ESG_Brochure_US_18_small Sustainable Investing and bond returns NOV ...Andrew Bellak
1) The document presents the findings of a study by Barclays Research into the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors and corporate bond portfolio performance.
2) The study found that applying a positive tilt to ESG factors resulted in a small but steady performance advantage for corporate bond portfolios, with no evidence of negative performance impact. The positive effect was strongest for governance factors.
3) The study contributes new evidence that ESG investing need not negatively impact bondholder returns and can be successfully applied to credit markets in addition to equity markets.

The Rise, Impact, and Challenges of ESG Factor Based Investing.JacobReynolds24
Covers a wide range of topic regarding ESG integration and ESG factor-based investing.
With many pension funds starting to follow the UN’s PRIs, and the signatories representing $70 trillion. ESG factor-based investing cannot be ignored, regardless of the participant's principles. The divestitures we are seeing by major players such as GPIF, Norwegian Oil Fund, CalSTRS as well as many smaller endowment funds.
Has this led to an increase in PE activity in the affected sectors, the driver is that the –what can be seen as forced- selling leading to said companies trading at a discount in public markets. Which leads to the question: through ESG conscious funds investing inline with their principles, do they end up bounding their returns (in the case of tobacco divestment) and arguably making the companies who are deemed poor on the E and S vector less transparent and accountable.
Carbon Footprint in Real Estate and InfrastructureGRESB
On February 23rd we learned about the carbon footprint of the real estate and infrastructure industries, with a focus on operational and embodied carbon.
Analytics from the 2021 GRESB Assessment were presented and we discussed where the industry is now and where we have to go.
This webinar was hosted in partnership with GRESB Partner Envint, and is supported by Industry Partner APREA, a not-for-profit industry association that is a passport to property investment opportunities in AsiaPac.
This document discusses a comparative study between traditional and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) dimensions for portfolio construction. It provides background on portfolios and the efficient market hypothesis. It then defines ESG factors and discusses evidence that integrating ESG into analysis and construction may offer long-term performance advantages. The document outlines how ESG scores were calculated for various Indian companies and how their stock performance correlated with these scores over two years. Integrating ESG scores resulted in higher expected returns and lower risk compared to traditional portfolio construction methods. However, more standardized ESG data and analysis is still needed in India.
Sustainability Within the Utility IndustryEnergy909
American Electric Power (AEP) has undertaken a journey toward more sustainable practices and integrated reporting over the past decade. AEP generates most of its power from coal but has been increasing other sources like gas, nuclear, and renewables. Reporting allows AEP to tell its story, engage stakeholders, identify risks and opportunities, and increase shareholder value. Sustainability is now a bottom-line issue as various stakeholders expect companies to consider economic, social and environmental impacts. Transparent reporting of performance on these broader issues helps protect long-term shareholder value by managing reputational, regulatory and other risks. AEP's experience shows that support from leadership, transparency, stakeholder engagement, and a focus on material issues are important lessons
The Value of Green Labels in the California Housing Marketnilskok
The residential sector accounts for 33 percent of electricity consumption in the U.S., with a total expenditure of $166 billion in 2010. Increasing the energy efficiency of the durable housing stock can thus provide significant cost savings for consumers. One promising trend is the rise of homes labeled by a third party as “green” or energy efficient. The modeled energy consumption of such homes is substantially lower as compared to conventional homes of the same vintage. This paper provides the first systematic evidence on the effects of providing information about the energy efficiency and “sustainability” of structures in affecting consumer choice. We conduct a hedonic pricing analysis of all single-family home sales in California over the time period 2007 to 2012, documenting that homes labeled with Energy Star, LEED or Greenpoint Rated, transact for a premium of nine percent relative to otherwise comparable, non-labeled homes. Given the large size of this effect, we explore its robustness and examine a number of different hypotheses, focusing on recovering heterogeneous effects. The results show that both environmental ideology and local climatic conditions play a role in explaining the variation in the green premium across geographies.

Studies have repeatedly shown that green buildings out perform their peers with respect to rent, sale price, and other financial performance metrics. Investors have taken notice, and they are looking for the tools and information needed to guide investments in green. This expert panel will introduce cutting-edge research and new tools to help understand the financial performance of green buildings as individual assets and as part of real estate investment trusts and mortgage-based securities. This exceptional group will provide state-of-the-art insights into the present and future of green building finance.
Energy Efficiency and Household Behavior: The Rebound Effect in the Residenti...nilskok
This document summarizes a study that examines the rebound effect for residential heating in the Netherlands. The study uses a large panel dataset containing actual gas consumption and predicted consumption based on dwelling characteristics for over 500,000 dwellings from 2008-2011. It finds an average rebound effect of 27% for homeowners and 41% for tenants, meaning improved efficiency leads to increased heating consumption that offsets about a quarter to over a third of expected energy savings. The rebound effect is found to vary based on household income and wealth, with higher income households exhibiting a larger rebound.
Commercial Building Electricity Consumption: The Role of Structure Quality, M...nilskok
This document summarizes a study on carbon emissions from the commercial building sector in the United States. It finds that 74% of US electricity is used in the real estate sector, with 40% generated from coal and 29% from natural gas. The study examines factors that influence electricity consumption in commercial buildings, including construction characteristics, tenant behavior/incentives, human capital, and macroeconomic conditions. Regression analysis of a large dataset finds relationships between electricity use and building age, quality, lease terms, occupancy rates, climate, and management practices. Younger, higher-quality buildings and those with incentives for tenants to conserve energy use less electricity.

Environmental Performance and the Cost of Capital: Evidence from REIT Bonds ...nilskok
The real estate sector is responsible for a significant greenhouse gas externality, which has prompted interest from policy makers, as well as the emergence of voluntary disclosure standards. As opposed to general concerns about the potentially negative impact of “sustainability” programs and initiatives on corporate financial performance, energy efficiency measures may lead to significant returns in the real estate sector. This paper investigates the relation between real estate sustainability and the cost of the debt. Using a sample of REITs, we investigate both corporate-level debt, as well as commercial mortgages to finance individual buildings. The results show that the degree to which REITs invest in efficient buildings is positively related to the quality of their credit ratings, and it is also associated with a significantly lower spread. The relation persists at the level of individual buildings and their mortgages: environmentally-certified buildings are financed at significantly lower spread, varying between 30 and 60 basis points, depending on the specification.
This document summarizes research on the economic impacts of green building certification. The research analyzes data on over 28,000 office buildings, including 3,000 with Energy Star or LEED certification. The key findings are:
1) Green-certified buildings have 2-6% higher rents, 6-8% higher effective rents, and 11-13% higher sale prices compared to similar conventional buildings.
2) The rental and value premiums are directly related to characteristics measured by LEED and Energy Star like energy efficiency. Higher LEED certification scores and greater energy cost savings correspond to larger premiums.
3) During the 2007-2009 economic downturn, green-certified buildings experienced smaller declines

To improve IT services, no matter what the specific objectives are, we typically have to look at 3 main components: Technology, Process and People. However; looking at these components alone is not sufficient for a well-defined improvement plan. The danger is that the improvements create a level of complexity and bureaucracy that is not aligned to the organization's requirements. The key to managing this is to focus on the "Just Enough" principle. This principle is influenced by roles & responsibilities, culture, governance, leadership , etc.
So what is just enough process? Just enough governance? In this presentation we will look at how to determine what is "just enough" to achieve your objectives for improvements
Research Panel: Untangling the Consumer Attitude/Behavior GapSustainable Brands
If consumers are becoming ever more aware of and interested in global environmental and social challenges, why is their behavior largely not reflective of this? How is it that those who buy the most stuff feel the least 'consumer guilt,' while still expressing the highest levels of awareness? Recent studies have found these and other perplexing contradictions between consumer beliefs, on the one hand, and purchasing behaviors on the other. To help us understand the consumer psyche on a deeper level, through hard facts and a healthy dose of empathy, we are joined by a stellar research panel of domain experts.

Green Hotels Growth Expected Agrion PresentationEcoGreenHotel
Here are the key points about choosing an eco-certification for your hotel:
- Consider your hotel's strengths and weaknesses in areas like energy efficiency, water usage, waste reduction, etc. Pick a certification that will highlight your strengths and drive improvements in weaker areas.
- Look at the recognition and credibility of different certifications. More established ones like Energy Star and LEED are widely recognized by guests.
- Compare the specific criteria and rigor of certifications. Some like LEED are more comprehensive but also more work, while others have minimum standards that may be easier to achieve.
- Think about your marketing goals. More prestigious certifications like LEED Gold can be a strong marketing tool, while others focus more on operational

EVPs - Beyond the Theory: the challenges of EVP implementationHavas People
More and more organisations are viewing a clearly articulated employer brand as a powerful tool to help recruit – and retain – the right talent.
However, in our experience, the process can falter when we move beyond the theoretical research and creative development stages and actually implement and activate an Employee Value Proposition (EVP) within an organisation.
Graeme Wright, Strategy Director at Havas People; Sarah Cheyne, Global Head of Talent Acquisition Brand and Attraction at Zurich Insurance Group; Nick Francis, Creative Director at Casual Films and Danni Brace, Head of Global Client Development at Havas People explore the issues around EVP implementation – and what you can do to address them.
Case studies on the challenges from a marketing/branding perspective as well as the role of video in bringing the employer branding alive are presented. And we look at a successful example of brand creation and activation from a well-known consumer brand.

A Primer On: Finance, Sustainability, and Buildingsnilskok
This presentation provides an overview of academic evidence on the "economics of green building," including research studies in the US and Europe, covering commercial as well as residential real estate. The slides also cover the implications of energy efficiency for REITs and their investors, with insight into the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB).
Portfolio Greenness and the Financial Performance of REITsnilskok
There is an increasing body of evidence on the financial performance of “green” commercial properties, but not much is known about the implications of investments in such buildings for property companies. This paper investigates the effects of the energy efficiency and sustainability of commercial properties on the operating and stock performance of a sample of US REITs, providing insight into the net benefits of “green” buildings. We match data on LEED and Energy Star certified buildings with detailed information on REIT portfolios and calculate the share of “green” properties for each REIT over the 2000-2011 period. In order to control for the endogeneity between environmental and financial performance, we use two instrumental variables – locational greenness and local environmental government policies. We estimate a two-stage regression model and document that the greenness of REITs is positively related to three measures of operating performance – return on assets, return on equity and the ratio of funds from operations to total revenue. We also document that there is no significant relationship between the greenness of property portfolios and abnormal stock returns, suggesting that stock prices already reflect the higher cash flows deriving from investments in more efficient properties. However, REITs with a higher fraction of “green” properties display lower market betas, which may be related to their reduced exposure to shocks in energy prices and environmental legislation.
Presentation on "energy literacy" of private consumers.
Paper abstract: with the residential sector accounting for some one-fifth of global energy consumption -- resulting from the requirements to heat, cool, and light residential dwellings -- energy efficiency in private dwellings has again gained interest in recent years. In this paper, we examine the importance of awareness and behavior of households with respect to their residential energy use. Using a detailed survey across 1,721 households, we measure the extent to which consumers are aware of their energy consumption and whether they have taken measures to reduce their energy bill. Our results show that “energy literacy” among respondents is low: just 56 percent of the respondents are aware of their monthly charges for energy consumption, and 60 percent appropriately evaluate investment decisions in energy efficient equipment. We document that energy literacy, consumer ideology and attitude towards energy conservation have a direct effect on behavior regarding heating and cooling of the home. The impact of the moderating factor, measured by thermostat settings, ultimately results in strong variation in the energy consumption of private consumers.
This slideshow was presented during the session "The Economics of Green Retrofits," with Nils Kok, Norm Miller and Peter Morris, at Greenbuild 2012, Toronto.
The Diffusion of Energy Efficiency in Buildingnilskok
This document summarizes research on the diffusion of energy efficiency in commercial buildings. It finds that:
1) Energy efficient technology, as measured by Energy Star and LEED certifications, has diffused rapidly in commercial buildings, reaching 30% and 11% of office space respectively.
2) The timing and growth of adoption varies significantly across markets, correlating with factors like income, energy prices, and property market conditions.
3) Dynamic regression models show adoption is higher in areas with stronger economic fundamentals like higher incomes and sound property markets. This suggests underperforming real estate markets may lag in energy efficiency.
1) The document analyzes how economic geography, jobs, and regulations impact urban land prices in the San Francisco Bay Area using a unique dataset of over 7,000 land transactions.
2) It finds that factors like proximity to jobs, topography, demographics, and restrictive land use regulations significantly influence land values and their variation within metropolitan areas.
3) Restrictive regulations, in particular, are shown to substantially increase land prices, and both economic geography and regulation directly impact single-family home prices through their effect on the cost of land.
