Last week, we held a discussion in London on the real estate industry's journey toward net zero. The discussion covered regulatory compliance, value creation, and risk protection and highlighted the immense potential of net zero—not just as a challenge but as an opportunity. Here are our key takeaways: 1️⃣ Net zero brings significant operational growth and innovation opportunities for the real estate industry. 2️⃣ The conversation is evolving. Discussions around ESG are becoming more sophisticated, granular, and focused on implementation. 3️⃣ Data is key for investors and asset managers. Reliable, complete ESG data empowers transparency, better client communication, and informed decision-making. 4️⃣ Emerging opportunities include upgrading old stock into sustainable, efficient assets and ensuring assets are exit-ready.  Thank you to our panellists for their contribution and for sharing valuable insights. #NetZero #Sustainability #ESG #Innovation
