Through Crombie’s ESG program, we aim to continue enhancing communities for the long-term through quality, sustainable real estate. Read the full article below!

It's great to see Crombie REIT committing too, and following through on, their pledge to reduce their operating emissions. #ESG is really coming to the fore in real estate as more companies look to reduce their carbon footprint and become more sustainable. https://lnkd.in/gF5aMxCE #canadianrealestate #commercialrealestate #retailrealestate #officerealestate #sustainablerealestate #Residentialrealestate #sustainability #Netzero

As the #BTR sector continues to scale at pace, tenant engagement will play an increasingly important role in retaining tenants as well as driving down carbon emissions, and become a necessity rather than just a luxury. 💡 From connecting tenants to one another, to enabling them to form meaningful relationship with their local community, the role of tenant engagement should not be overlooked, and can often lead to longer tenancies and increased resident retention. 👥 Learn more about the role tenant engagement plays within BTR developments, and how technology can play a part in encouraging this, as well as encourage ESG practices. 🔽 🔗https://hubs.li/Q02qTGPp0 #BTR #TenantEngagement #ResidentEngagement #SpikeLiving #ESG #TenantRetention

Over the past three decades, we have worked to integrate our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework into all aspects of our operations at Greystar. Our ESG journey has been ongoing, and this Earth Day, we’re sharing a few environmental milestones. Cope Willis, Managing Director of Sustainability, noted, "Sustainability for Greystar does not stop at the design stage. We make sure that our buildings and their communities are resilient and able to thrive over the long term." Watch below as we spotlight three significant accomplishments for our organization.

Our CEO, Mike Darby, took part in a fascinating panel discussion on the main stage at #CREtechLondon2024. Mike made some really key points: 💡 "You can start tomorrow, operational efficiencies are abundant in every single commercial building. You can make massive savings really, really quickly with immediate carbon impact that will improve your credentials" I personally think the issue is we do not really know what is happening in buildings, even if we think we do, and have little chance of knowing without adopting a system like Demand Logic that makes it clear. ⚠ "In 2018 when we had the 'Beast from the east' with the coldest March day on record, one central London building was cooling a third of its spaces, using 500 homes worth of electricity to do so and then it was using about 600 homes worth of gas to heat it back up again" Demand Logic works with a number of different types of clients within the property sector but being from a FM Service Provider myself, I know that bringing that level of visibility and subsequent savings to a client could be the difference between wining/retaining or losing a contract.

Incredible experience joining the ‘Accelerating Decarbonization in Commercial Real Estate’ round table with #AlGore, a true sustainability champion.
