As Net Zero commitments continue to be a priority for global firms, many organizations face challenges in translating their ambitions into actionable strategies due to uncertainty surrounding effective methods, costs and industry benchmarks. This webinar addresses these challenges by focusing on the decarbonization and resiliency of buildings within healthcare institutions, office-based firms and retail organizations—sectors where real estate plays a critical operational role and significantly contributes to the global commercial carbon footprint.
Attendees will:
- Gain a clear understanding of where corporates and building owners are currently investing in decarbonization.
- Learn to identify emerging investment areas, unmet needs and market gaps that present opportunities.
- Discover which areas are likely to see the greatest traction and investment in the next few years.
