🙋♀️Join us online 💻 on Thursday October 31st for the event we are co-organising with United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) “Mortgage Portfolio Standards: Synchronising regulatory developments for a Delegated Act”. Adopted in April of this year, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) recast for the first time directly implicates lenders through Mortgage Portfolio Standards (MPS) as a voluntary measure to track the decarbonisation of their mortgage lending. In addition, the EPBD recast tasks the EU Commission with the adoption of a Delegated Act (DA) over the course of 12 months to establish voluntary MPS. 🏦 🏘 In this event, we will present the current state of play on green finance and technological advances in real estate, and the findings of the latest CS briefing on MPS. This event will provide the opportunity for leading financial institutions and investors to understand how the different elements of mortgage portfolio standards and their voluntary uptake can assist them in greening their real estate assets while aligning with current and forthcoming EU climate requirements. Confirmed participants include: 🔹 Judi Tseng, Financial Services Engagement, Federated Hermes 🔹 Marco Angheben, Head of Business Development and Regulatory Affairs, European DataWarehouse and ENGAGE Project Coordinator 🔹 Julia Wein, Operational Lead, CRREM - Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor 🔹 Grace Elshafei, Sustainability and Transition Strategy Equity Research, Jefferies Group 🔹 Dominic Keyzer, Senior Consultant, Global Sustainability, ING 🔹 Afroditi Psatha, Project and Events Manager, Efficient Buildings Europe 🔹 Katharina Plavec, Supervisor, European Central Bank 🔹 Murray Birt, Senior ESG Strategist, DWS Group 🔹 Peter Sweatman, CEO, Climate Strategy & Partners 🔹 Hugh Garnett, Senior Programme Manager - Real Estate, Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) 🔹 Vanesa Rodríguez Osuna, PhD, Consultant, Net Zero Sector Track Lead (Agrifood & Real Estate), United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) 🔹 Sarah Kemmitt, Net Zero Banking Alliance Secretariat Lead, United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) The momentum for Mortgage Portfolio Standards continues as there are global decarbonisation initiatives with aligned targets with the recast EPBD to promote the voluntary uptake of Mortgage Portfolio Standards, and these also support banks delivering against EU decarbonisation and sustainable finance standards, and positioning the EU as a global leader. Also, decarbonisation pathways calculated using specialist EU funded technology providers will enable mortgage lenders to have a clearer perspective of the depth of the renovations needed by the properties they lend to, hence preventing future stranded assets in their portfolios. #MortgagePortfolioStandards #MPS #NZBA #IIGCC
