Green building and ESG are complementary market transformation strategies for investor-owned real estate.

Green building certification is important to ESG reporting and benchmarking - contributing more than 10% of the annual GRESB Real Estate benchmark.

Expectations for green building certifications are changing with increasing concern for decarbonization, resilience, and measured real world performance.

LEED v5 is responding to these changes with new requirements and a broader set of ESG-aligned credits and performance metrics.

Practitioners are navigating these changing expectations and opportunities as they manage their activities across planning, design, and operation.
