Global Trends in Sustainable Property Investment, an Asia-Pacific Perspective

As real estate asset values show signs of recovery in major markets, property companies are drawing renewed investor attention. However, investing in sustainability in the property sector has not followed the same trend across regions. MSCI ESG Research analyzes 500 real estate companies annually, including 230 REITs and 200 REMDs, on their capabilities for tapping into energy savings, and implementing tenant engagement and urban-site investment criteria in their portfolios.  How have environmental, social, and governance indicators become an increasingly important differentiator in the assessment of properties as an investment opportunity?

Listen to this recorded webinar where expert speakers discussed global trends in sustainable property investment and how ESG factors inform property sector investment decisions.

The discussion was moderated by Michael Salvatico, Vice President at MSCI ESG Research, and featured the following speakers:

• Rowan Griffin, Head of Sustainability, Colonial First State Global Asset Management (Property Division)
• Anthony De Francesco, Executive Director, IPD Australia
• Mario Lopez-Alcala, Senior Analyst, MSCI ESG Research
