Real estate teams play an increasingly pivotal role, managing emissions data and aligning ESG goals with finance.

Sustainability reporting is no longer a choice—it’s a necessity. With global ESG standards tightening and California’s Climate Disclosure Bill signaling a seismic shift, companies must adapt quickly. Real estate teams hold the keys to managing emissions data and aligning portfolios with sustainability goals, yet their role is often overlooked.

The built environment accounts for a significant share of emissions, and real estate teams are uniquely positioned to influence this impact. From lease data management to navigating landlord-occupier dynamics, their insights are vital for meeting regulatory requirements and achieving ESG benchmarks. But are organizations leveraging their expertise effectively?

As U.S. regulations inch closer to European-style ESG mandates, the stakes are rising. Collaboration across teams, especially between finance and real estate, is critical to success. Discover why real estate professionals deserve a seat at the sustainability table and how their involvement can drive lasting impact.
