The ARESI White Paper (https://lnkd.in/gAJTNybd), developed by an industry working group including Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), CBRE Investment Management, UCL and RICS, is a significant step towards harmonising sustainability indicators across the European real estate sector. By aligning key performance indicators (KPIs) with regulatory frameworks such as the EU Taxonomy, SFDR, and EPBD, the White Paper aims to reduce inconsistencies in sustainability reporting and make investment decisions more informed and transparent.   Through collaboration with industry stakeholders, the working group proposed ten climate transition indicators, offering standardised definitions and methodologies. This was then tested with a consultation process, identifying data availability challenges but proving that a unified methodology can boost investment confidence and reduce reporting burdens.   The Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) is proud to have contributed to this effort, supporting the development of the harmonised indicators. The ten indicators have been mapped to key regulations and industry tools, including the BBP Acquisitions Sustainability Toolkit (AST: https://lnkd.in/etDbfUmV), providing clear guidance on how to operationalise the ARESI project’s conclusions in property transactions. This paper was authored by Hugh Garnett (Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC)), Peter Walker and Robbie Epsom (CBRE Investment Management), Kell Jones (UCL) and Gina Adela Ding (RICS), and endorsed by CBRE Investment Management, CRREM Project, DWS Group, INREV, UCL, Urban Land Institute, RICS, JLL, CREFC Europe, LaSalle Investment Management, and Savills Investment Management. Thank you also to our Investor Engagement working group co-chairs, Brett Ormrod and Julie Townsend.

Real estate must do more to sell itself to global investors. Real estate has got a lot going for it: pricing corrections, stable leasing and sensible forward-looking returns.
