Overview
Sector introduction
Real estate is more than bricks and mortar, it shapes how people live, work, and interact with the environment. As the climate crisis accelerates and ESG disclosures become mandatory, the sector must move beyond short-term compliance to long-term resilience. From embodied carbon and material circularity to green buildings and community impact, sustainability in real estate is now a core business imperative, not a marketing choice.
