Real estate

A solid investment case for incorporating ESG factors, a competitive market and well-established regulation have encouraged real estate investors to implement some of the most comprehensive approaches to responsible investment.

Nevertheless, ESG factors such as climate risk, and fragmented sustainability standards, still pose challenges to responsible investment in real estate. To find out more about the PRI’s work on real estate, contact us.

As of January 2022, PRI will be carrying forward the activities of the UNEP FI Property Working Group (PWG). The PWG was a longstanding investor programme of UNEP FI comprised of leading asset owners and managers focused on driving financial returns through ESG integration. The mix of thought leadership and applied practice projects across ESG data, carbon emission reductions and climate risk, SDG alignment, and investing for health and wellness outcomes, will continue within PRI’s Investment Practices. The library of UNEP FI property publications remains available at the UNEP FI website.
