The greener a building is, the higher its profitability

by Property Forum
The European Commission’s recent pause on reporting obligations for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is consequential for real estate investors’ Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) compliance. Without the CSRD requirement, funders’ ability to collect asset data for SFDR disclosure becomes more difficult. Yet because real estate developers and portfolio managers have a profit-driven imperative to measure and maximise operational efficiencies, they are well positioned to meet investors’ data requirements. Particularly to secure financing for “dark green” or “light green” retail funds, as defined by the SFDR, real estate firms must continue complying with financer mandates. Jaroslav (Jaro) Mida of MINT group discusses why operating measurably high-efficiency real estate is the pragmatic choice for funders, developers and the environment in an article prepared for Property Forum by Lisa Chase (Lucky Fish Research & Communications).
