ESG Strategy in Real Estate

Overview

ESG used to be an afterthought in commercial real estate. Now it determines whether projects get financed, approved, and supported by the communities they’re in.

This course shows you how to use that shift to create a strategic advantage. You’ll learn how environmental, social, and governance factors influence real estate decisions, how to identify risks and opportunities in your projects, and how to balance financial returns with ESG considerations to better position your projects in the marketplace.
