Background
Debate - Joined up thinking for the Built Environment
It is the responsibility of the each entity and individual involved in the development cycle to ensure that Carbon emissions are minimised. This debate examines the role of each party at each stage of the development cycle.
Private equity investors/Landlords – are primarily interested in the operation of the asset and the returns their investment provides. What steps can be taken to reduce the carbon footprint of existing properties and portfolios of residential, commercial and retail estate. What can be done to incentivise the private equity investor to achieve this?
The institutional investor or fund manager – although interested primarily in returns institutional investors are now under increasing pressure to declare the carbon footprint of their portfolio to the market. How can the institutional investor balance the need to generate competitive returns against public opinion. How can the objectives of the investor in property be reconciled with the need to reduce carbon emissions?
