Executive Summary
This report provides real estate investors and occupiers with an introductory guide on how ESG reporting requirements will evolve over the next three years. It builds on previous Verdantix research on the evolving ESG disclosure landscape by looking at the impacts on the facilities and real estate sectors. The research finds that real estate executives across the board will need to step up their ESG data management and reporting efforts to meet the needs of new regulations, lenders, insurers and other real estate stakeholders. To get on top of new ESG reporting pressures, firms should remain agile to shifting disclosure requirements and plan for growing scrutiny of data quality as audits become commonplace.Real Estate Executives Must Plan For More Complex ESG Disclosure Requirements
