𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘆𝗺𝘀 when it comes to ESG?
SFDR, GRI, TCFD, CSRD, GRESB—it’s a maze. 😶🌫️👥
Mapping ESG by Urban Land Institute (ULI), European Association for Investors in Non-Listed Real Estate Vehicles (INREV), and Principles for Responsible Investment (with PwC) is the map we’ve been waiting for. This is a much-needed compass for navigating the evolving jungle of certifications, frameworks, and reporting standards.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁?
An expertly mapped guide to the ESG reporting ecosystem, particularly valuable for the real estate and investment sectors. It compares and clarifies key ESG regulations (like SFDR, CSRD), voluntary standards (GRI, TCFD, SASB), certifications (LEED, NABERS), and ratings (GRESB, CDP).
𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲:
▶️ No one-size-fits-all: different standards serve different purposes, and consolidation is slowly emerging.
▶️ The report categorizes ESG disclosures by “define, describe, manage, measure” — a brilliant lens for strategy alignment.
▶️ Building certifications are evolving under pressure to stay relevant with actual performance, not just modeled intent.
▶️ The shift from “marketing ESG” to “proving ESG” is here—data, double materiality, and science-based metrics are now core.
▶️ Real estate has some of the most comprehensive ESG-specific metrics—but few standards handle social topics well (yet).
𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁?
Sustainability leads, ESG analysts, asset managers, policymakers, and corporate strategists who need to make sense of the fast-evolving ESG disclosure space. It’s especially helpful for those seeking coherence across ESG requirements while avoiding duplication and greenwashing. 📢 ⚖️
