Sustainable Solutions for Investors, Landlords and Occupiers: A Comprehensive Approach
Cushman & Wakefield’s ESG team provides key support to clients at every stage of their sustainability journey. This support is crucial as sustainability transitions from a 'nice to have' to a business imperative, especially for investors.
We offer comprehensive sustainability services that guide businesses through the entire investment lifecycle. This includes end-to-end reporting, ensuring compliance with regulations, and managing risks associated with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors.
Changing Market Dynamics
The investment market is undergoing a significant transformation, with an increasing emphasis on transparency and the provision of detailed information about investments. This shift is driven by a growing demand for sustainable investment practices.
Legislative Impact
Existing and upcoming European legislation is exerting a profound influence on investment strategies. Regulations are not only altering the landscape but also compelling investors to reevaluate their approach to incorporate sustainable practices.
Investor Engagement and Media Attention
There is a noticeable uptick in investor engagement and media coverage related to sustainability. This trend highlights the rising importance of sustainable practices in the public consciousness and the investment community.
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
The new CSRD legislation, effective since January, is set to catalyse a major shift in the market. It mandates comprehensive sustainability reporting, compelling businesses to assess and disclose the impact of their operations on both internal and external stakeholders.
With regulatory frameworks tightening and societal expectations evolving, investors, landlords and occupiers alike must adapt to a new paradigm where sustainability is not just a preference but a fundamental aspect of operational and financial decision-making.
