Property owners, developers and occupiers have a unique opportunity to create social value through their real estate
While the urgent need to accelerate the transition to Net Zero is an absolute priority for real estate investors, developers and corporate occupiers, it must be considered in tandem with broader sustainable development goals.
Addressing the ‘S’ (Social) alongside the ‘E’ (Environmental) considerations is a unique opportunity to maximize return on investment and to future-proof assets while delivering lasting positive change for communities and cities companies operate and invest in.
JLL believes that only a purpose-driven, integrated approach to ESG can drive long-term value and net-positive impact for all stakeholders of the built environment.
