“ESG” related policies (Environmental Social and Governance) are growing across all segments of our industry.
My head is exploding with the many changes in our industry and the adoption of ESG-related policies is one of them.
I am very pleased with our industry’s response to our July theme “ESG R Us” with these great articles,

ESG+R – WHAT IS IT AND WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IT NOW?
One of the market forces shaping the future of commercial real estate (CRE) investing and the built environment is the demand for a holistic approach to sustainable investing that applies an ESG+R (Environment, Social, Governance, and Resilience) framework to achieve strong risk-adjusted returns alongside positive societal impact. In this article, we will discuss the current state and trajectory of ESG+R frameworks in CRE and the incentives and regulations involved.
The ranting critics of sustainability may have a point
Remember when the profession of sustainability was largely a backwater activity inside companies, seemingly unrelated to the business of productivity and profits? Remember when sustainability flew under the radar — when hardly anyone understood or even cared about what sustainability folks were doing?
Those are the good old days. Sustainability — and its finance-oriented cousin, ESG — are now mainstream, which means they are more widely seen and understood — and misunderstood. As they gain altitude and influence, they are roiling the status quo, spurring transformations in companies, supply chains and markets, which may be sorely needed but which aren’t universally appreciated. Far from it.
