Global Real Estate Investor Survey on ESG Integration – Findings and Analysis

Anna Murray, Matthew Ulterino

About this talk

Following a survey led by Bentall Kennedy, REALPAC and the UNEP FI Property Working Group, a newly released report has captured findings from more than 40 leading property investors from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America with aggregate assets under management exceeding $1 trillion. The survey sought information on the extent to which investors see ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors as integral to investment and management decision-making, and attitude shifts toward ESG since the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. The results show that leading investors use ESG integration as part of risk management practices and a factor for increasing asset value; and that that knowledge about climate-related risks and the need to align practices with the Paris Climate Agreement objectives is growing. The webinar will present the key findings from the survey and discuss how UNEP FI is working to shift finance sector practices toward greater climate and ESG ambition.

United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is a partnership between United Nations Environment and the global financial sector created in the wake of the 1992 Earth Summit with a mission to promote sustainable finance. More than 240 financial institutions, including banks, insurers, and investors, work with UN Environment to understand today’s environmental, social and governance challenges, why they matter to finance, and how to actively participate in addressing them. UNEP FI’s work also includes a strong focus on policy – by facilitating country-level dialogues between finance practitioners, supervisors, regulators and policy-makers, and, at the international level, by promoting financial sector involvement in processes such as the global climate negotiations.
